Racing tricks

[brndp]

Hey what tricks or techniques do you guys use when racing. How do you get the maximum acceleration/kick from a standstill? I own a 2000 Maxima GLE (automatic). I read something about starting from 1st, then 2nd, then drive.

ha...so u wanna race ur max aye?...okay...that`s what i do when i race my max....put ur gear in 1st when acclerating from a standstill..
....turn off a/c and tcs and put up window....hold ur car up by pressing the brake and step a little bit on the gas..so much that the brakes still hold.....and ur set..!!...maunely
shift into second at 6300~6400RPM...and don`t lets off the gas...
...and 3rd and around 6500~6600RPM...and 4th if u need it...by the way it`s like 180km already....okay..4th at 6000RPM....yeh...and please do becareful.!!!

would you mess up the car by riving it up to 6500 rpms. thats kinda high. and for the powerbraking (acclerations) how high can i rev it up that it won't bust my car.

[black019]

powerbraking is good especially for launches

[brndp]

keep in mind though that my maxima is an automatic...so there's only 1st and 2nd gear and then drive.

ohh yeh...forgot....turn "overdrive" off....that`s ur 3rd gear....turn it on is 4th gear...anda...it won`t do n e thing to ur car if u rev pass 6500...
i revved to 6700 where fuel cutoff is by accident....max`s engine can handle that!

I did the 1st, then 2nd then D along with powerbraking and with overdrive off. It launch the Max with some wheels spin and engine
scream very loud.

The only thing that you can do I decide when it shifts rather than the car. When I race I usually bring the RPMs up to about 4000-4500 then dump the clutch. Then I will get up to about the same before each shift.

I might sound stupid, but what is powerbraking?

[black019]

when u hold the brake and press the gas a little just enough to get the rpms up but not move the car

So with a maxima 2000 gle AUTOMATIC. how would you obtain the fastest acceleration from a standstill....i mean since you don't have any gears accept for 1st and 2nd...what do you do?...not that i really race...but if i decide to do for fun...or just want to know how to get my car really going what do you do?....but please keep in mind that my cars automatic.

You still can do it even it's an automatic, I did it on mine 2000 Max Se.

okay..so could you describe in detail how you do the 1st to 2nd to drive thing? thanks.

racing tips with automatic.. at a standstill you must first put the gear to Neutral b/c there are pressure in the brake lines which take out added power from torque. you can feel the brake pedal go all the way down, when it does put gear in Drive with Overdrive off. Rev at 3000 rpm and when light changes off you go! have fun!
