Do you have the actual time slip(s)? How about the ambient conditions during the runs?

That's alot of variance in trap speed, were you having trouble with the 2-3 shift? I'd also like to see the actual numbers from the slips.

i was having trouble off the line mainly, some ppl were sayin the problem is, that they have to shift into 4th, and for soem reason for me, it was in 3rd, with the modifications that i have, so i jus held it through......the run i ran 15.3, i had a crappy 2-3 shift yea....im guessin clutch jammed a lil or somthing. I honestly think the 18's are heavy and slowing me down alot.......b/c from some things i read on here, people have gotten mid 14's on stock maxima's.....hope im not a bad driver lol! Have you ever ran your 03 sparks? my buddy has one with a cattman exhuast/frankencar intake, and hes been taking out all the g35 friends i have....

honestly i wouldnt know exactly how much... i would say you would be in the mid to low 14s with good rims. I also think you need to lower your psi to 25 if you have not done so. I see in your videos you launch just a little to hard. Try to ride but ride on the clutch so it grabs but don't spin your wheels it would be around 3,000 rpms then just gun it... takes practice..... Write your slip times so we can see really where your loss was. But my suggestion would be lighter rims good rubber and propper launching you will see nice times.

I am going to be running mine on april 11th so I'll let you know Russianmax. I'm also guessing that those wheels may be on the heavy side. 22-25psi front 35-38psi rear for your tires like others in this thread were saying is a good idea.
