i love how everyone feels that 95 - 99 GXE's and GLE's have 160 hp

yeah i got 160 alright.. come race this 160 monster

 

damn! 160HP... I only have the 4 cyl model

 

LOL.....wtf?

"If the max is a 5 speed, a high speed race you'd probably edge him, because our cars handle better and.(also depends on driving ability, this is assuming equal drivign ability)"

Ummmm.....ok....handling affects straight-line speed in what way?? Keep in mind the Acura is an auto...

"On high speed runs, the max's are toast, because they have a fuel cut off at about 135. I just keep on going..."

Hmmm.....I dunno, I've taken my VE auto up to 140+ and could have done more. Do 4th gens really have a fuel cut off? The guy with the Acura has an auto, so I dont see him giving any Maxima much trouble....

Also, he said the 3rd Gen GXE had the 160 hp, not the 4th gen, so he was correct in that. That Maxima owner who posted on there did a good job.

 

i know i read it right...

i think the 5th Gen's had a cutt off issue

 

He wanna try this auto Max?

 

I was under the impression that the 4th Gen.s were only putting out around 160 at the wheels. I think that the 5th Gen.s put out something like 190 at the wheels. Check with Cheston or other Max owners who've had their Max's dyno'd

 

hmmm in conclusion, maximas in all gen are slow!!!!

 

that 5th gen was me! this legend owner lives near me (NYC) and he showed up to a maxima meet one night so we took it to an empty road and did some runs. beat him everytime. he's a nice guy though.

the only mod i had on my max was a catback. 2.25" piping, no resonator, and a M1 muffler. NO intake, NO ypipe. Ask people who know me how loud my car is with just the catback.

 

Yes that was me. I give you props Toylet.. But next time lets go racing high speed on the highway. Oh BTW wanna meet up and run again this Saturday Night?? 11/3 Also a few TL-S might be there too. When I say might you know the Acura crew, not much heart... Anyways, let me know. Do you still have my cell number?

 

We head out to Hempstead Turnpike almost every Friday night now.

We've gotten some good stuff on tape.

 

I know you guys go every Friday Night, but most Legend owners are oldtimers and tired after working and martial arts class.... So Saturday night is it????

 

us maxima owners dont go to martial arts classes together

 

i still got your number. ill give you a call on friday around 8 to see whats up ok?

 

Where on Hempstead Tpke? I'd like to check it out !

 

i got my *** smoked when i was NA by a 2 door coupe legend... he had a greddy and intake.. and AUTO magic...

he was the 230hp engine i think... freakin chirped in 2nd on his auto.

hehe.
i killed him tho after the blower.. so no more fun.

 

Lucky you, I wish they made a blower for my Legend....

 

check the NE forum. i post up to remind people theres a meet. but only the regulars come.

 

LOL...talk about lacking knowledge of other cars...! wow! They haven't a clue. I've never run against the most recent legends, but any of the other ones are all sleds. I mean...they sorta...kept up a car length behind....

LOL...yeah ... ever heard of CARPOINT??? lol! SE is more sporty by having a different engine? oookay lol.

good job, setting them straight. You might mention that the non-stock max's are much faster.

 

i won.

 

For now...... heh heh. New toys coming in soon....

Lime:

What do you mean don't know what I am talking about regarding Maximas. I know the 4 Gen's all have 190, in all trim. Gen 3 are the ones different. Please if you are gonna make a comment read carefully. I may have been wrong about the fuel cut off, I know there is a Gen that had that, but also I know your cars have some sort of top speed limit.. And yes, I do agree non stock Maxima's are very fast. The performance you can get out of that engine is awesome..

 

im not saying all the new things i got since the last time we met.

 

WOW, I am glad my 3rd gen doesnt have cutoff. I have taken it up to 141mph with no hesitation. And I have 215k on the motor. I know I could have gotten it to 145-150mph. And I dont know about the legends. But if the new TL type S is faster than I think the legends will get owned by any gen Max. Because Brian V raced the new type S at the track and it ran like a 15.XX while Brian was running 14.3's with just a couple of bolt ons. I would like to see a Legend and a Max go top end on the freeway. Max's own on the freeway.

 

Just wanted you to know that yes, I do have a speed limiter. Its called the force of air and friction at 155 MPH+ that my Maxima's engine cannot overcome....

BTW I am a Legend lover too. I got beat by a type 2 manual coupe when I was stock pretty good. There are a few reasons why I picked the max over the legend, but nonetheless, they are truly beautiful cars. I wish Nissan had styling mindsets like Acura when they came out with the newer Maximas.

 

some of the maxima's like ToYLeT Bowls had fuel cut off problem

 

I too am a Legend Lover, I posted this thread initially. I have posted this before, many many say the Legend is big and slow I owned a sedan auto and I have NEVER driven an automatic that shifted so strong, every single time I chirped 2nd gear and the car had 194K miles one it and was around 3500lbs. Perhaps Honda made better transmissions but my Max (stinkin auto) will NEVER chirp second while going in a straight line.

The 3rd Maxima was an awesome car in the early 90s but the Acura Legend was about 10 years ahead of everyone else. To think you could purchase a 6sp Sedan back in 93 (93 GS) -Legend owners correct me if I am wrong- The cars came with FSTB and handled great out the box, the cars in stock for were pretty close to the ground.

I think Acura is finally starting to put out a product that comparable to the Legend

 

how do you know i have a fuel cut off problem?

 

6Speed Sedan available in 94 and 95, GS models. 6Speed Coupes, 93-95.
Which years did Maximas have speed limiter? Some of you guys say there is and some say there isn't. I know for a fact some years do but not sure which ones, can someone clarify that?

 

didn't say you Mr. ""


some 5th Gen's had fuel cut off problems..


BlkLegend - all GXE model Maxima's have a speed limiter .. with the exception of the Security and Convience GXE's

 

which really means few GXEs have a limiter, as most had the C&C package.......

 

just and FYI to that.. if you see a 5spd Maxima with chrome door handles.. its is safe to assume it has a limiter..

if it doesn't.. that person is a serious modder and you shouldn't mess with him anyway

ALL 5spd GXE's have limiters

 

ok.

 

Thanks for the info.. I knew I was right about some of them with speed limiter or fuel cut offs..

Toylet, have all the new toys, you want. My new toy is a new engine. You will probably hear some swishes went I blow by you. But one thing though with the amount of money I have spent on this car, I wish I just bought a Supra TT.

 

hey.. i want to race a acura! with an acura engine! if u wanna play like that i'll borrow my friends turbo type r

 

Pssst... ask to borrow one of Hogan's super-maximas.

 

<<no comment>>

 

forget the type r, thats a acura.. yuck

ill follow clee's advice...

 

with an JWT intake..

 

I dont have the C&C on my GXE.

Thank got for teh Apexi Rev/Speed Meter.

 

Limiter, what limiter?
