I was really excited when I got this slip! A lot of hard work has paid off right here.
Ran a couple of other passes, but could not get the car to hook. All passes were around 106-107MPH.

Runs were made at KCIR. Density Altitude: 1712 feet || Relative Density: 95.08 %

Here are the mods:
Fujita intake
3" exhaust back to a single magnaflow muffler (Still running the stock exhaust manifolds and stock cats)
15lb Lawnmower battery (only cost $25 at walmart)
26x11.5-16 ET Streets mounted on FD RX7 wheels (super lightweight)
Lots of weight reduction
Blue tape rear "diffuser". (Blocks off the air gap between the gas tank and the rear bumper cover. Has the same effect as the holes a lot of you guys run. I gained a lot of mph from last time with this being pretty much the only change.)
I didn't use the spare tire skinnies this time, as this track would not allow it.

Really simple setup with very little money invested.
My goal was to hit 12s without headers and a tune. If I can get the car too hook, it should run some 12.7s in the near future.

Here is the good stuff:

Maxima in "race" trim

Here is the motor, nothing special.

Here is proof of the stock manifolds

Here is my amazingly ghetto but functional "diffuser"
Gained ~2mph with just this change.

Here are the slips:

Spun a little bit on the launch. I was super excited when I got my 12.9 slip. :D

Spun quite a bit on the launch.

Spun a lot on the launch.

Car feels really good. Absolutely lights up the street tires on the street.
Let me know what you guys think!

Ghetto, but works! That's freakin' awesome.

bauergold

Yes, it works very well.
Thanks man!
Thanks!
Thanks, and I will.
That's pretty much my motto. lol

PyroProblem

Wow, thats friggin quick for essentially a stock maxima! I didnt know they were that fast!
1.9 60's is also really impressive for a car of that size! Im impressed!

How much weight did you drop?

zakura R

Nice et for a big car congrats

bauergold

No other Maximas of this generation are as fast as mine.
I usually get 1.8 60fts and that is still spinning off the line. Hard to hook this damn thing. lol
Thanks for the nice comments though!
I got the car down to 3108 with me in it. A stock one weighs 34xx with no driver. LOTS of weight reduction, I haven't cut the car at all though.
Thanks man!

Awesome man, Congrats!

Poootie

WOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!

this made me happy!!

congrats!!

blue tape FTW!!

This car would be very competitive in SS class out here.

Good luck with it!!

Any plans for it eventually it? Like maybe a built All Motor or Spray/Turbo?, or just keep it as-is and chip away at the ETs bit by bit?

bauergold

Thanks!
Thanks!
Definitely agree with blue tape FTW!
I would love to run street stock, but I have no interior in the car.
Sucks, because this is definitely a street car. More so, it's my daily driver.

I would like to stay all motor with though. Pretty cool to go fast with no power adders.

This thing needs headers and a tune badly. It would wake it up quite a bit.
I am very limited on funds at the moment, so I will just spend my money on seat time and doing cheap experiments.
I am a firm believer in this motor though. Heads flow great, it's just limited by the cams and **** exhaust manifolds.

contact Matt Ivan on here (VW1320) on here for tips. Very helpful guy.

bauergold

I'll hit him up. Seems like a cool guy.
His VW is badass!

Nice, i'm a long time member of maxima.org and they are very capable cars for what they are. I wish i had a motor like the VQ in my 5 spd v6 Camry, they respond very well to modifications.

bauergold

Thanks!
They are great motors!

high_revs

wow, this is super impressive...and i thought i had good mph for my car...this family sedan just put a cloud on my sunny day lol...

bauergold

Thanks!
