i haven't seen NA auto 4th gens making it in the 14s in the1/4 yet.
is there any way to get in the 14s and still be NA and auto??

 

There are 2 or 3 NA autos in the 14s. Don and someone else who's name is eluding me right now that I know for sure. I think there is a 3rd person in the 14s with an NA auto. My prediction is for Chi99Limited to be the next auto in the 14s

 

With all the bolt ons, it's possible. There's a few guys that are in the very low 15s. It's just a matter of time before they hit high 14s. I have the same mods as they do except for the JWT ECU. However, the condition of my tranny is questionable. Don told me there was rust in the VB core I sent back to him. That isn't very good news for the rest of my transmission.

 

96sleeper made it into the 14s as well in his 96 auto with pop,Y-pipe, cat back, VB mod, and G-force ECU. Those are the mods I can think of.

 

I plan on it. As soon as I can get my 60' down to a reasonable time (currently 2.6), I should hopefully be running high 14's. It's just the godawful tires I have right now.

 

Me, DCmax, and Jay-Pee are all on the verge of hitting 14.9 before the end of the summer, its just the weather here in MD is what is delaying everything. We all happen to have all the bolt-ons (me and Jay-Pee (97) - everything except vb and ecu, DCmax (96) - everything except cat-back) and we all are running consistent 15.1-15.2. It is possible if you have all the bolt-ons and the right weather and track.

 

What have you been running? Low 15's yet?

 

My 95 Auto GLE ran a 13.74. I will get some pics of the time slip and the car as to prove it. I have all the bolt ons Possible for the Max headers, ypipe, ecu, cai, custom tranny work, JW Cams and i had it ported and polished heads along with arias pistons. I have a Apexi Rev/Speed meter and a SAFC, along with a host of other gauges and stuff like that. The car is setup for NOS but i dont have it installed yet. I have a lot money in this car. It is very fast. Any one with an Auto has any questions about the auto i will be happy to help with anything.

Mine hit 13.74 (GLE Auto) but i have about 4k in modifications but im one of the first in CT to hit 13.74 NA (now i have NOS and running in the low 13's high 12's on slicks

 

13.74 NA on auto? Even Don only could get a best of 14.0 NA. How he achieve that is questionable too. Sorry but this is just too hard to believe.

 

man 13.74??!!
give me some tips to get in the high 14s
i'll be more than happy with 14.9...well make that 14.8

 

Agreed. As with everything else on this site: pics/video = truth

I need timeslips, baby!

 

If the track is open and weather is right, I'll be in the 14's. If not, I'm making one last run and sending it (the car) off the end of the track and leaving it planted in the mound of dirt!

 

did you ever get your mevi working? i wanna see!!!

 

Yeah, it's hard to believe, especially from a brand new member.

Nismo95GLE:
What kind of custom tranny work do you have? High-stall torque converter? Limited-slip differential?

What tires did you use for your 13.74 run?

Did you lighten your car?

What's your suspension setup?

You say you have Arias pistons. They don't list pistons for a Maxima at their website. I've e-mailed Arias to confirm if they have a VQ30DE application. I'll post their reply when I get it.

If your pistons raise your compression ratio to get more power from a NA engine, then they will only bring detonation sooner after you add a nitrous kit.

What shot of nitrous are you running to get high 12's?

 

just because the pistons aren't listed doesn't mean a custom application can't be made upon request...I know for sure Crower and JE both make custom apps for almost any bore and stroke!

and higher compression and nitrous doesn't always mean "BOOM"...depending on fuel/ignition tuning, engine management, etc., nitorus can be used safely on high comp motors.

but all in all its is VERY fishy how some "newbie" out of no where claims these amazing times...

 

I here you guys, I wouldnt belive it either im lookin at the slip now and im workin on my scanner to get the slip on the web. I have micky thompson slicks on 16x8 rims and stock in the rear i do have an aftermarket stall converter by level 10 at the time of the run i had the back seats removed and the rear door panels along with all the carpet in the rear and all that plastic underneath the car. At the time i had a faulty air conditioner so that was removed to take away some weight the car weighed in with a 1/4 tank a gas at 2843lbs. I went on the dyno this mouring and am going to have that put up soon with 228hp 236 ft/lbs at the wheels. the tranny work was done by a local repair shop (my neighbor owns) and i don't know what he did but on a good day i can chirp 2nd with and auto.

 

I run a 125 shot of nos. I have visited this site for a while i have just never taken the time to join. the pistons i have are for the 300zx the pistons were mearly for strength along with the rods and crank not so much for higher compression. My suspensions setup is Sprint/kyb/agx

 

what year Z did you get the pistons from?? and are the rods from the Z too??

it doesn't take that much to chirp 2nd in an auto...a simple VB mod or full line pressure will do that!

 

uhm. cams? no one makes cams for the VQ. Are you sure you have a 95?
anyway, where in CT are you from?

 

.....oh yeah...yeah.....nice timeslip

 

Jim Wolf makes cams for the vq visit the website you will see them. And the rods and crank are from the Z also.

 

you sure about that...you might wanna read this first....

hmmmmmm...so how'd you get yours if they aren't production-ready yet?? and you might wanna read over JWT's page again...unless I'm blind there aren't any cams listed for the VQ

care to take a closer look for yourself-->

not doubting you, just wondering how you got them???

 

Does anyone think I can break into the 14 seconds with these mods. I have yet to go to the track because I do not have the time.

-Budget Mandrel Y-Pipe
-Frankencar Hybrid Intake
-RT CAT
-FSB & RSB
-Japanese VI (coming soon)
-RE950's
-Porterfield Street Breaks
-Muffler (Coming Soon)

Car is also almost fully tuned for its 60k except I still need fuel filter and pcv valve. I changed 6 coils, knock sensor, throttle body cleaning, air filter etc.. (I have a 97 SE Auto with 107k Miles)

 

Be nice kids im not full of sh*t there not cams for a maxima so to speak they are the high boost billet 300ZX cams non turbo. And aside from all this the my max is due up for a new engine. I have since installed the nos, and like a fool decided to go daring and try a 125 shot. I blew a head gasket And somehow i dont know yet i lost 1st and 2nd gear friggen thing hardly moves. im in the process of stripping the motor and getting a brand new motor. Next time maybe not so much nos haha

 

I put the Honda Type R cams in my Max, it should be in the 11's next time out.
I get rubber going into 4th now and its an automatic.
I am working on a 4WD conversion as well to increase traction because the slicks won't handle the power anymore.
I also took the nitrous out and it didn't slow it down at all.

I have the exact same setup. Oh I almost forgot the only M/T slicks available in 16" are 35" tall and 17" wide. Maybe I should make my fender wells larger. Oh ya you need 16" wide rims for those tires as well.

I am also using helium in my tires its much easier than reducing the weight of the car.

 

I can help all of you. You want to run 13's in your NA Auto's? Here ya go...



-Extra Strength Muffler Bearing-
Do you have an annoying rattling in your mufflers? Are they sagging a little? Don't quite sound right? That could be the symptoms of a worn muffler bearing. Allow me to introduce the KaleCo muffler bearing! It's unique iron-graphite composite with pre-grease-packed assembly provides over 200,000 miles of smooth muffler operation! It is most likely they will outlast your mufflers. Also works well on heavy duty exhaust systems. One per muffler. Adds 50% more power on 95-99 Maxima, and 65% more power on 2000+.

Other parts for you Performance Sh!zzle for your Max

As well please visit SpiralMAX for your MAX. Guaranteed to add 0-35hp and 0-35+mpg.

 

when I first saw the Kaleco site a while back I thought all that crap was real.....then I was like WTF is an "O-pipe"....

 

I only have one problem with this. VG30DETT cams are designed to work with timing belt cam gears. How did you get those cams to work with timing chain sprockets? Also VG30DE(TT) won't drop into a VQ so that is strike 2. Now if you had the stock VQ cams reground to more aggressive NA specs that is believable. Also how do you get high boost non turbo 300zx cams? Did you know that the camshaft specs are the same for NA's and turbos (excluding the autos, those cams are slightly milder)? I want to know what 60ft and 1/8 ET/trap you ran. I figure you got some things/words confused. You'd have to have a pretty high stall convertor to get that kind of ET on a NA motor on slicks. Here is another question how did you get the camshaft journals to line up? I know they are different from the VG30DE to VQ30DE, but how was it done?

 

well that ends this thread.....

 

I figured it was BS, but I wanted the defendant to prove himself. I guess not haha
