Well it's not often that I get a race where I live. Usually you have to set them up. My brother bought a 2001 ZX3 this last week and thought that it was way faster then my maxima. He's been bugging me like crazy for a race so I gave him one. We both were driving to my shop and caught a light. I have an auto but have played with it enough to know how to get a good start, I dont know how hi he had his rpms but when the light went green I saw some smoke come off his tires as launched right past him. I must say that his initial start was strong, he caught up with me but by the time I we hit 35 he was toast. I pulled ahead so fast he didn't have a chance. I was about 5 lengths ahead by the time I pulled infront of him to signal my victory. I got up to about 75 and I think he said he only pulled about 55. Anyways it was fun and actully my first official kill in my Maxima. 148k and still going strong.

Seems like he got the jump on you mostly because his car is a bit lighter than yours, and once you got moving the mighty VG30DE took over. Good one.

Good race bro. Keep that Maxima running man!
My friend wrecked his just about two weeks ago... Was a one fine looking car, with some minor exterior upgrades...
Too bad he can't drive to save his life.
:banghead:

the mighty VG30DE took over.

Its the VQ30DE. The VG30DE is the one in the 300ZX iirc.

BTW BeZerK2112, yours is a 99 SEL correct? Is it cali or fed spec?

Its the VQ30DE. The VG30DE is the one in the 300ZX iirc.

Yeah, you're correct. I always forget that the VG30E was used from 1984-1994, then they used the VE30DE from 1991-1994 in the Maximas.

In 1995 they made the switch to the VQ30DE on the Maximas, and was used till 2001.



I always think they made the switch to the VQ later... meh.
