OK, good. Just be careful...I care about Maximas 
Theoretically, your pistons can move at huge speeds (like 20,000+ RPM). The reason for your redline is move the valves. If you overrev, they can float open (not close in time) and they may strike the piston. This would almost definately mean it's time to get a new engine. Plus, the amount of horsepower and torque you have past redline is probably less than the amount you have 4000 RPM below redline, so there is no real reason to exceed redline. That's OK if you accidentally downshift too high, just be careful. Your engine doesn't like it 
Yes, a 1.8 can really get going, they can make them quite powerful now. Given enough room, almost any engine can get going that fast, depending on aerodynamics and gearing as well.

redline Maxima
I dont think that you will hurt your maxima going over redline,
if you do, the engine just shuts itsself off until it shifts again.
Bo Bo I dont get what your saying about the od being off when trying
to race cause when you got the pedal to the floor, it isnt gonna go
into overdrive anyway. If you hold it to the floor long enough
it might go into od, but if you hit the od button to shut it off, then
its gonna redline and then?

Asian Max Beats your a$$
hahaha....
you think all maxima's are alike???
you're wrong man...
I own an Asian Market Maxima, Auto of course, cause I like it sporty and luxurious...
I have raced a Manual American Market MAX< non of the two cars is moded, both are still new, And guess what, I beated his ass, I didn't expect that, his car is Manual and mine is heavier than his.....
but, I beated him because when we started the race his car didnt go fast first, because the tires were circulating very fast making smoke while it's not going that fast, but mine didnt take long as his car did>>>>
IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE HORSEPOWER OR WHATEVER, It's about many other things!

.......when u reach about 6200RPM, shift into 2nd gear and press the O/D.....so it says O/D
off on the panel................let the 2nd gear reach about 6400RPM and shift in to (D).....
....since the over drive is off the gear will maintain in 3rd gear.....and the speed is still rising fast
.........trust me all the ppl who owns a auto max should try it......it's alsome...^^...!!

u don't have to turn off the O/D switch...at that rate of acceleration, the computer won't hit the OD....

they won't sell it to you if you have an auto...don't blame me for this...there have been too many blown auto tranny....
the auto tranny on Maxima isn't designed to take that much hp..sooner or later, they'll all blow..seen it myself too...

i was racing this one black 4th gen...GXE...i think he was auto...had intake and exhaust(don't know if he had y-pipe)..we were on freeway and i heard his tranny kick-down, so i just mashed my pedal too(i stayed in 5th gear)...like Brian's saying...5th gear in Maxima is really good..the 4th gen gained on me just a little, but i started to pull away..all without even changing my gear..

you are right about the 5 speed and the auto max, the auto kinda
sucks in speed after 90 mhp , put a five speed down and it goes
off flying..
