Some of you guys know how long I have been chasing 13.99999999x ! It finally happened today, didnt breakdance on my hood like I said I would, but did let out a big enough shout to get everyones attention.

Went out on my first pass on the second day of the drags, against a Honda Integra Type R. The Type R won the race but I finally bagged a 13 second run. I feel like the old chariot is really going to move when I add the drag radials and OOVI. You just cant complain, the USIM was kind to me today.

More importantly was the 60 foot. Landing a 2.14 was enough to help me break into the 13 second club and boy it was a long time coming.

The Slip
60 Foot: 2.147
1/8th: 9.029
MPH: 79.99
1/4:13.979
MPH: 98.87

 

thats fantastic! care to shed some light on your launch tecnique?

that integra was a very close race, you dont see that very often.

 

Congrats man!!!

 

your car is fast man. It's gonna fly when you get the DE-K manifold!
Do you plan on raising the rev limiter or using an AFC?

 

Nice time, and congrats! What rpm was your launch @?

 

guessing 1800-2000 rpms

 

Congrats Ceasar!!! That's awesome 13.9! With an 00VI and DR's, You will be way into the 13's!

 

YES ! dandymax has got my back !

 

 

congratulations! anything different than when you ran your 14.0 run?

 

WOOOOT! Awesome dude. Gratz.

 

yes, rear door panels taken out, passenger side seat belt removed, center console was taken out, made a neat little tray like thing to keep my phone and smokes in it, lol ! my thinking was hey this is the last race of the season in my area. 14.001 was 2/1000ths away from 13.9 or 2 lbs.

so i went after two pounds and came out with about 16 lbs.

 

Saturdays Runs:

(60 ft) (time)

2.38 -- 14.46@97.68mph
2.21 -- 14.16@97.95mph
2.27 -- 14.22@97.42mph
2.22 -- 14.18@97.27mph

Sundays Runs: (Better weather&track prep/ max 16 lbs lighter)

(60 ft) (time)

2.14 -- 13.97@98.87mph
2.16 -- 14.00@97.96mph

Rained Out

 

Congrats.....

 

Ceaser enjoy the 13s man! Many Congrats!!!

(I may be wrong, but could you be the only ALL MOTOR 4th gen WITH USIM to break 13s???)

 

And you did this on that USIM.

 

That's awesome news. Congrats!

 

Fantastico!! Way to go man!!

I knew you'd do it sooner or later if you kept taking something new off every week! lol

I believe you are the first to run 13's N/A with the USIM.

 

ha ! yeah, what a wrestling match in itself to make the USIM give in and allow me to cross the line at 13.9. it really was a combination of 60 foot, weight reduction, and dave b's shift points, lol ! o and h2kfrosty as well. I could hear him saying Ceasar you are staying in your gears to long!

i wish that dyno of mine was done in rpms, but it was done in third and kilometers per hour ? so at the track i kept debating on what i should shift at in 3rd. the vehicle speed sensor is all out of whack on the car and i had to remember to shift earlier from 3-4th. my rev limit is down in the red close to 6800 or 6900 rpms instead of 6500rpms even though i still have a 6500 rpm rev limit.

anyways that 3-4th shift may or made not have made a difference, but im going to have a look at that dyno sheet again and see if i can make some sense out of it in rpms.

 

Congrats man. I knew you could do it. Its really amazing what you are doing with your max.

 

for conversion factors re: RPM/gear ratios/ final drive/ tire size etc.

Once again congrats on the time.

 

Congrats on the great time, you always seem to be very consistent.

 

Good work man, with time things come around.. Cant wait to see what it does with teh VI swap..

 

i officially hate you Ceasar.










only kidding. glad one of us got that 13.9 off the stock USIM.

 

Congrats. Thats movin' for the USIM.

 

ha ! well money has been really tight for a long time now, but i have sourced a guy thats going to make a fiberglass mold of my hood, and I have the corbeau racing seat im going to have shipped over when I get the money up, this should be another 35-40 lbs of weight reduction, maybe even 50.

Im still going with a Hoosier Drag Radial, they are 4 lbs lighter than my T1R's per tire in 225/50/16. And have sourced and need to retrieve the OOVI. But the OOVI will be the toughest mod for me so will be needing help from the org on installation, then what to use with it like vafc2 or whatevers best when the time comes. after this will move on to the dyno for tuning.

I hope to reach 13.6 possibly, not sure if that is asking to much or not really. But the Maxima would be very hard to beat in my all motor class here. So hopefully by november i will have all this sorted. Here in NZ the weather continues to get hotter so im about to slow down on the racing, next meet in april.

 

hope to get some videos, some friends taped the races but i forgot my camera this time, and of course 13.9 came around ? lol

 

Congrats Ceasar, I have seen so many of those flat 14s from you good to see you break the barrier.

 

Congrats Ceasar... great run....

 

Very nice times Ceasar. Can't wait to see what u do with the 00vi and dr.

 

Very nice times, Ceasar. Way to rep the Maximas down in NZ!! The Chariot will be hauling with the '00vi on!

 

Nicely done by one of my favorite Maximas.

 

Congrats on the 13. Not only the first USIM-equiped max to get there N/A, but also on true street tires.

 

 

congrats ceasar i kno uve been chasing this for a while

 

!! I should be in the 13's any second now, haha.

 

Way to go man!!

 

Very nice !!!

 

thanks everyone ! man the 4th gen maxima has so many options now, from engine swaps, to IM swaps, ecu upgrades, mods here and there. For people who want to rough it and stay N/A, there are going to be some fast 4th gens in the years to come.

Man im loving it !

 

Congrads man I think Maxima.org should put a banner up honoring your achievement
