I finally broke 13's today damn it felt good. I ran five passes today, and I was on street tires my best times are on time slips below check it:

 

Nice kevin... So I heard you have a special way of launching.. Care to share?? something about manual mode then normal or vise versa ..

 

I launch in drive leaving at idle when I get to 70MPH I slide it into manual mode and let the computer shift.

 

Wow! Very impressive driving Kevin

 

and launch , power brake it to what Rpm?

 

nice I knew when I seen that 14.0 it was a matter of time

kinda o/t but hows the other max doing

 

13's with stock headers and auto FTW. Good Job Kevin.

 

I find it more impressive that he only has 2 basic mods and is hitting 13's..

Took me a few more breather mods b4 i broke in to the high 13's. IE: NIssanWorksSpacer Kit and Vias Exhaust and cai ...

anyway, great work man!!! and fix that 04 max's filter

 

Thank's for the kind words everyone but I cant drive it was in the air today .

 

nice job man... i started to come down to cecil today too, but i went to atco instead.. i'll be joining you in those 13s soon! what tire PSI are you running? btw, don't forget to change your sig.. was it crowded today?

 

WTG Kevin. I knew it was just a matter of time. I was trying to analyze the 2 slips and was wondering how you lost so much et by the 330' mark after only a difference of .03 in the 60'. I swear, these cars are so finicky.

 

You should've come that would've been great maybe when can hit atco when do they close for the season. I ran 32 PSI up front and 42 PSI in the rear.

 

I think the difference could have been the PSI in the rear tires because I took breaks in between my runs with the colder weather my air pressure went down in the rear more than the front when I left the track I checked the air pressure and my rears where at 36PSI and I started at 42. My first run was the 13.91 pass.

 

man, if i had your 60 ft's, i'd be good to go.. lol.. i'm going again this weekend though.. i got a goal i'm trying to reach, and i gotta do it... apparently this weekend is the last weekend for both tracks.. are you goin this weekend?

 

very nice and impressive ... how much pressure did u drop in those steert tires, if any???

 

I just cleaned up the car getting the undercarriage, wheel wells and rocker panels cleaned up in the cold today I'm done racing for the year(plus I reached my goal) but I'm gonna hit Cecil next Saturday to watch and get some video and pictures.

 

oh ok... i might head down to cecil on saturday myself... im undecided between cecil and atco right now, but im definitely going somewhere

 

Nice job.....BTW, do you think the CVT has quickened its responses due to your 'training' it by your driving/track habits? I thought I'd read that it's somewhat intuitive that way.

I'm honestly shocked at those times w/2 basic mods but that CVT does seem to have a very strong low end though perhaps a tad shallow at the top end?

 

The CVT does elimimate driver error in between shifts because of it being shiftless and it leaves better also because it has less torque steer. On the top side Nissan closes the TPS sooner than than the 04 and 06 Max's. It's no doubt that with a flash for the CVT that it would trap 100-101MPH with just CAI and Exhaust.

 

nice.....

 

The closing throttle body thing is a myth.

 

what you think you woulda ran if you had it in manual from the start?? i feel like when its in manual from the jump its quicker.. never track'd tho.. n i just got the cai

 

nice runs man!! always love to see more max's in the 13's

 

I got a lot of work to do.

You're doing alot to dispell alot of the myths concerning the 6th Gens and CVTs. Good stuff.

 

all i gotta say is wow.

 

Damn i love my car. Kevin ur the man.

 

i can bet the ride went something like this:

"vrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo"

end.

lol, thats a terrific time though, especially for an auto.

 

It not a myth when you have a device that measures it. It now a fact.

I hope you are doing well..looking forward to your times. There is a poster on 7th gen forums who has broken into 13's bone stock with a speed of 100+. He perfected his launch and cut about .3. I do believe his car is an outlier because it goes to 6600 and hangs on 6400 which is 200 better than most of us achieve.

 

man, i havent seen a post from you in a while kev...

 

I'm still around just taking it easy, trying to get my priorities in order, I sure miss the track I've only been out 2 times this year. I got a bunch of s*** I could post but I felt like I was being a hog!LOL! Man I hope all is well with you and the rest of the crew!

 

i was gonna say the same thing.....yo kev hit me up when u get the chance man.....

 

damn I need to cut a 2.1 60'....it'll happen one day Only been to the track once, so it's just a matter of time.

Great job on the run. I always knew those CVTs had more in them than people gave them credit for...you just need to know how to use it. They hate WOT at high speeds for some reason...

 

That's because Nissan detuned them, the CVT pulls hard up to 75-80MPH the TPS closes up to limit top end performance that's why the MPH in the 1/4 mile is low.
