Hey guys I ran my car at Englishtown Raceway Park last week. bone stock

2.21 60'
13.95 1/4
102.xx mph


First run 14.2 @101 with a 2.5 60'. Second run(above) . Third run 22 @55 hahaha (massive wheel hop caused the shifter to pop out of 1st, then I said screw it) Fourth run 14.0 @101 with a 2.31.

about 80degrees out, low humidity, about sea level.

How'd I do? I'll post the timeslip tomorrow.

 

Pretty good I thinks! Back in 07 when my "X" was almost new, took it to B.I.R. and it did around 14.1-14.2 @ around 98, 99, mph...... wed. nite street legal, only 25 bucks to race from 4:00 pm till dusk...

 

That's pretty good. I ran my 05 coupe all stock and my best time was a 14.5. @ 99 mph

 

Triton - Where's BIR? what was the elevation, temp, humidity, and how did you launch? just curious cause I thought the autos and 6mt should be similar at the 1/4, no? but 3-4mph difference is kinda big.

Micntae - 14.5 @ 99? I'm guessing 6mt? For 99mph, I think you can do 14.0 or 14.1. What was your 60'?

 

The 6 speed is much better at the 1/4 because of better gear ratios and it doesn't have the weight of the torque converter to spin. More to the ground... if you can drive it.
My heavily modified auto sedan hits 13.9 @3000ft elevation 55 degrees. not weight stripped, 1/2 tank of gas, street tires.

 

Brainerd intl. raceway, Minn. everything here is around 1000 ft. above sea level. temps, back then were in the upper 70's I think,, heck its been over 6 years, however with my "X" the 60 ft. times were pretty low, 2.1 2.2 cause all I did was tromp on it in DS and go!!! B.I. R. is a real nice facility, hosts national evets..

 

btw,,, the "x" cars are a little heavier....

 

Nice runs. If the track is properly prepped, your 60's should be better. 2.0-2.1.

What tires? PSI?

 

pretty good numbers for a first trip out. the 60' could be a little better and it would have got you deeper into the 13s.

 

kumo ecsta tires on factory 18" sport wheels. I didn't touch the air pressure...so I'm guessing they were at 33psi. Do you think lowering the rears would've helped with traction?

On the 14.0 @101 with a 2.31 run, I launched with traction control ON and turned it off before shifting to 2nd. not sure if it actually helped...I got a worse 60' than with the t.c. off but maybe it was just my (lack of) technique that made it worse. any input/experience?

2.0 60' !!!!!???? I really wish yea I'd be 13.5ish. I like to think: .1 off the 60' equates to .2 off the 1/4. Also: Assuming you get a 2.2/2.3 60', 15.0=90; 14.0=100; 13.0=110;etc...so according to this "theory", my 102 can get 13.8, but this is all generally speaking of course, I think.

I raced my 96 maxima 5speed at the track about 40 times, so I have a little experience analyzing/studying track times. btw my best with the maxima was 14.7 @ 94 with a 2.2 60'. intake and ypipe only. I looooved that car....and beat on it soooo bad ;/

 

Those were the days! I loved my 95 5MT maxima as well. Kept it for 12 years and it still ran like a champ! Pretty fast for it's day also, especially with the Y-pipe. It is no wonder that so many have moved on the G sedan--just a natural progression.

 

Yea a natural progression haha!! I had my maxima for 6 years. I remember spending so much time on Maxima.org !!! Remember Neal with the turbo Maxima? those were definitely the good old days Well...these are better days haha it's just I don't think I'm as OBSESSED with my car now as I was with my Max. Work and real life responsibilities do that I guess LOL

anyway, with the G, I'm leaving it stock. I just don't think it'll go much faster, unless I do a supercharger/turbo...which I am not LOL

 

Still got my max. It's not worth much so i just keep it as a backup/dd.

 

cool! What year? trans?

It would be interesting to see what everyone that currently owns a G used to drive...

 

There's a thread for that
