thats right last night i was out driving around with my sisters boyfriend and his friends. her bf was in a 98 prelude but he didnt run it. his 2 friends were in a 95 maxima with the v6 and 5 speed and the only mod was intake. My car is an 89 LO3 with just a catback and it is automatic. we went from a 35ish role when i pulled up next to him i kept my car in 2nd then he went and i immediately floored it and we were even up to 70. he claims he wasnt in it fully but i dunno it seemed as if he was he was going for it maybe he just doesnt want the shame of being beat by an LO3 but yea next up is the prelude when he gets his new clutch thats if i dont get my SHO before then, then he has no chance in hell, specially with the 50 shot i got planned.

i beleive him that he wasn't all the way into it. Maxima's are quick, we have a 97 and it can lay a smack down on any close to or stock L03.

stu

He was in it fully. In a car like that, you are either flooring it, or losing. Period.

superGMman

or both.

i think he was lying cause my sisters bf talked to the one in the passenger seat who kept saying to slow down and what not to race but the driver i think was into it but claimed he wasnt in it cause he thought i had a V6. plus i raced another 95 5 speed v6 maxima last year in the spring/summer line right when school was ending and i pulled on the kid the whole way so i think he was in it just nobody believes me even sometimes i dont believe myself but thats ok.

Yeah he is running a VQ30DE and they are a pretty quick motor. 1995 was the year they started putting those in the Maximas. They dont have the variable valve timing though, but the higher torque then the VE30DE, which had the variable valve timing, made up for that. I know a guy that has a fixed up Maxima and runs a 13.4 in 1/4 in it. It has headers, intake, exhaust, and a wet-shot kit. He said he could run a 14 flat with out nitrous. They will go 15s stock. I assume that vipershark11, you are running low 15s or high 14s? What mods do you have?

stu

What Maximas have variable valve timing?

The only way to not "be all the way in it" in a car like that is to not shift where you usually would in a race, it'd still cause you to lose though.


Don't worry, he was racing.

phoenix305

well then do you want to explain to me why my stock 97 maxima took down a 90 rs with the 305 tbi?

rocluvr0013

... bc your maxima is better then the other maxima, and you can drive?

banditfirebird

It was introduced in 1992, and 1994 was the last year, after that they never used it again in the Maxima. It was the VE30DE.

stu

More info. How could Nissan have had variable valve timing around the same time that Honda introduced their without people throwing a fit about it like they did with Honda?

banditfirebird

Well if you dont believe me, look it up. VVT wasnt even invented by Honda, they were just the ones to first put it into production. Believe it or not GM was the first creators of VVT, or the idea of it i should say. FIAT had the first operating VVT. I guess people liked the VTEC so much because Honda made it affordable and the only VVT that made a big difference.

stu

It's not that I don't believe you, I know that just about every car company has their own version of VTEC, and has for a couple of years (Ford just bought the rights straight from Honda ). I was just in disbelief that I had never heard anything about another company putting it in their cars as early as Honda (1990). I guess they didn't have as much success with theirs.

gp423

i think he was all into it, with those maximas if u dont floor it, the car doenst move, my mom has a 99 maxima(i think 95-99/2k were all the same) with an auto and it just makes noise unless u punch it. should be a close race either way, that car pulls to 6kish, which im not used to driving my lb9 lol. would be a good race either way.

i was gonna soop up my moms maxima too, cept the autos cant handle the power really and no one makes a good looking turbo kit for it(this is as of a year ago)

banditfirebird

Yeah it wasnt popular at all. I guess thats why they discontinued it. When they put the VQ30DEs in the Maximas the tq. was increased highly. No more need for the VVT. As soon as a company comes out with somethng new its rivals will try to compete with it and most of the time it just isnt as succesful as the original is. A good example is all the hybirds coming out. One company thinks of the hybird and bam you have every car company following its foot-steps. When the first hybird came out it was like WOW! Now its like another company comes out with there new hybird but nobody cares because it has always been around. Since Honda is known so much for there VTEC they will be known to be the original "variable valve timing" motor because they made it popular. Just like Dodge and the HEMI. They did not create the Hemi but are the ones to made it popular. How many people know that Jaguar was the creators of the first HEMI? Not many. Honda is known for their VTEC and Chysler is known for their HEMI. They did not create those ideas but were the ones to make it succesful,popular, and sell.

stu

Build your own turbo set-up, that's the only way to go anyway.

Isn't pretty much every motor now a days a "hemi?"

the maxima was a 5 speed and had just an intake and my car is just a 50k mile L03 with a dynomax cat-back system. i was in disbelief but thats the second one ive taken down im pretty proud of my car even though i know its slow especially compared to my dads L98 IROC.

banditfirebird

If you mean that all the top of the heads in new cars are hemispherical, no.(If that is what you mean.) If you mean that all the new cars have a lot more power, yes.

stu

I meant the first part. Weren't there a lot of motors like that though?

banditfirebird

I dont know. If there is, none i no of.

It could have been more awkward. He coulda asked for him to post a pic of the boyfriend.

stu

You're getting pissed at someone asking to post a picture of your sister online? Is this your first time on the internet? Seriously.


All though, I MUST mention that I get at EVERY post Psycho_Camaro makes just because he's so dumb.

vipershark11

ill trade you for some pics of yo momma

hihighost

LOL. Sister for mamma, sounds...Even...

Psycho_91Camaro

I find it even more dumb, when someone who actually takes the time to reply to a user who has pointless comments on this racing board rather than ignore them. You obviously show interest and expose the amount of time you have but somehow you choose to shadow this by mentioning me, as being dumb. Well I guess those who think im dumb don't really have the amount of replys (critical of me) as you do Mr.STU, maybe because you have alot more time and less to talk about in all other boards as distiguished from this racing board. Maybe to show up the teenagers, to show what HONDA is really made of hot stuff!

Also as I said before these races are pathetic, why would anyone wan't to race a family sedan? I think those who choose to race againts these type of vehicles should use thier mothers Buick Lesabre, rather than thier F-Body this should surely prove to be a fair race.

Psycho_91Camaro

The Beast comes out of the factory soon....


STU, I'll buy my this Camaro when it is finally for sale.

And you buy a Honda S2K and will race them! to see which handles better and has the best acceleration.

Deal ?

christ shut up already

stu

You think that car is going to handle better than an S2000?

You also think that, THAT is the car that will hit the market? You must have been locked in a cage for every other concept to production process that has ever happened.

Psycho_91Camaro

Im out'ty.

gta31

Hopefully close though i think that car looks tough, wish it would of been a trans am, that pontiac solisict gxp would run down any s2000 though

superGMman

Handling G's aren't everything, Try throwing a miata or s2000 around a twisty road and then do the same thing with a bigger car that supposedly can take a turn with the same G-force. It's weight will work against it.
