wow... with times like that, you're whip is almost as fast as Hussain's CVT, even when his car was at stock form...

does no good to have a manual if you don't know how to drive it... who's your daddy now MENDI... I'll tell you who...

THE FAILMATIC CVT IS YOUR DADDY BIATCH...lol

Hussain's car wasn't stock. A removed exhaust system isn't stock. and he is under the assumption that disconnecting his battery made his car drive faster. This is a myth by the way. just disconnecting the battery doesnt erase what the computer has learned in its memory. We tested the theory in my Auto tech course a few years back. Supposedly however, if you disconnected the battery, and held the positive and negative wires together for 30 seconds, it does clear the computer's stored memory cells.

actually, I'm reffering to his 14.2 that he ran stock... he ran the 13.9 with his exhaust off!

On a prepped track the CVT should perform better than a manual. the Manual has too much trouble getting traction right off the line if the driver sucks. on the regular street, I still see the CVT falling short, especially as the speeds start to climb higher.

lol damn my best time was a 14.7 so dissapointed, got an intake and the y pipe and i got the same time as when i was stock runnin wit a full tank of gas. but then again it was 105 degrees today. would the temp make THAT much of a difference though?

tires man. tires!

hlsd definitly helped me get a good-ish time with my winter tires. with summer performance tires it would have been soo much better. I got tire spin 1st and 2nd gear almost all the way lol

Driver mod .

A 6 manual sedan is in the mid 13's just the other day at the other board.

[gearhead05]

Doesn't take long, about 30-45 minutes.

that is why i didn't go to the track this weekend. I had more fun at BW3 and stillen. Just need temps to drop

yeah i was going around talking to the other drivers there and everyone was all depressed with their times. im thinking the heat was really killing it for everyone

Quick question to those that have the pipe installed....

Did you re-use the gasket from the old pipe or did you get a new one???

new one

[Alien_Tracker]

During the day, it's 115 here. When I go home from work, it's about 90. My AC is much faster at night, when the temp. is lower.

[marcelo929]

damn and i thought it was hell rising up when we hit 109. i wouldn't be able to live in arizona thats for sure

reused. No need for a new one on a car this new

I was thinking of going august 1st for the next track day, but its going to be close to 95degrees then too.

And they say there's no global warming! BS

I used to race at Firebird in Phoenix, and 2 days after getting the G from Infiniti of Scottsdale in July we went to the track and it was 115 at 11pm on the track. the best I could pull with the G was a 15.1. HEAT KILLS

[marcelo929]

sooo i just finished installing my y-pipe. took about an hour or so was having serious trouble getting those damn nuts and bolts of but that was pretty much the hardest part. its a really simple diy just takes time to get those nuts off once they're off its about 15 minutes more or less. raced my friends' volvo c30 and i still beat him more or less by 2 car lengths at around 80 hopefully the y-pipe still has to settle in but i can definetely feel the revs climb much faster all the way to 4k

[isaac_b]

yea just installed my pipe. no cels

[Importroller]

until you post better trap times.. I will say that the manual is overrated and = FAIL... doesn't matter whether or not its true... if its not true, you have to prove it buddy...lol

Well, how is this for proofMods were Fujita intake, RL Y-pipe, and drag radials.

6spd sedan

r/t:.5760': 1.943330': 5.6151/8: 8.642MPH: 81.191000': 11.2801/4: 13.410MPH: 103.67

I phucking hate you Sean... stick to grilling at our meets instead of posting your times with your Sedan and that freak motor of yours...

oh yeah, and just to keep repping the superiority of the CVT, I'll say that i dont believe you without an uploaded copy of your track slip like Hussain had.... if you post that, I will concede to the superiority of the manual transmission in the Altima and accept defeat... but until then

your posted times = FAIL without pics!!!

drag radials loool! thats cheaping lol.

I wonder what time i'd get with some

[marcelo929]

ill be heading to the local track tonigh. forecast is 76 so it should be ideal for a good run to see if the y-pipe helps although i must admit im not the best driver at the track, ive only gone once and i did like a 14.8 or 15 ( i know horribe). ill keep you guys updated with how it goes tonight though

[Importroller]

That aint cheating. Thats being prepared. he runs 13.8s on street tires

that wasn't my times. that is someone elses. I came to stillen instead of the track. I don't see my car going any faster than a 13.9-13.8 when i take my system out

if you take your system out, why would it not run faster than a 13.9-13.8?

between your intake, exhaust, and -pipe, on those light wheels you have, plus the system out... shouldn't you be running the same times as your friend?

doubtful, he lives in an area with better cooler weather. Plus, traction will be an issue. On street tires, its harder to grip than with slicks or DR. I only have the intake, Y-pipe and mufflers. the catback is basically stock. Mufflers don't add any power. Now, if the temps drop closer to 60-70, I suspect I will be at 13.7-13.8 at over 100mph. my 14.4 run was with my system in the trunk, 20" chromies and crappy street tires.

[marcelo929]

best time was a 14.72 with 96 degree weather. I seemed to be doing better and better everytime. started at 15.1 and ened at 14.72 hopefuly next time i go i'll break the 14.5. Had the 10 inch sub with its enclosure in the trunk so maybe if i took that out it would help. we'll see

haha take out the spare too dude it actually makes a difference, and show up wit less than a quarter tank too. weather is a BIG time killer though

[XXplosive990]

aww that sucks man, ive been looking forward to seeing other altimas out there. still yet to see one when i've gone
