i hit speed limiter today

[-The Stig-]

It must be the poor quality, but that clip sounds just like the other clip you posted a while back of you mashing out.

In other words, it still sounds stock.



Anybody else feel the same? I know it's not, but it just doesn't sound it in the clip.

[codebrn]

that sound clip is kinda odd..it should be longer..and why don't you just record the sound and not video of you driving down a random street.

i get everything from black, to blue, to green, to purple. to me (and the pics i shot) it is mainly dk blue and color-shifts between purple in the day and black at night.


AWESOME!!! I LOVE MY CAR COLOR. it's pimp.

that's funny, it looks very similar to my paint and that was called "black emerald" but mine was definitely green.

this pic doesn't do the paint justice, i'm sure yours is the same way, but you can kinda see how it's not one solid color especially where the sun is refelcting. it looks much better in person. they defintiely had some nice paints available for these cars. my friend just picked up a 97 max and he got the blue-grey color, which is also very pimp, i must say

If you think 127 MPH is bad, my Vision is limited at 110.

BTW: Nice kill!

Good kill, I cant wait for some better sound clips. 8]

whats even funnier is that today, when i came out of walmart i went to look for my car. i walked right past it... i thought it was green! lol

its the best sound clip i could get. in real life its louder. its not a huge difference but it does sound mean in real life.

nice

i found out it wasn't the speed limiter, but the clutch - http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/u...ex.cfm/id/2214

problem with the friction material.


it happened again today. i came across a brand new 350z. some old guy was driving it. im not going to make a new post about it because i will probably get buttraped for saying that i beat a 350z, but i think i took it at about 115 i was about two car lengths ahead (from our 60mph start in 4th gear). coulda happened if it was an auto, because the 5spds only run 14.3's. hit 119 and the speed instantly dropped to less than 110. same thing that happened when i raced the maxima. owell.... i shouldn't be going that fast anyway, and i usually win races before 100 anyways. past that its just for show

So way does your clutch slip at high speeds and not at low speeds?

I doubt the 350z let you win. My friend has a completely stock 2003 350z with 6speed and we beat a I/H/E Eclipse GS-T on the freeway from an 80mph roll to 130mph. We were about 10 car lengths ahead.

350z's are insanely fast on the highway... they'll do well over 140mph and not sweat it.

Yeah that's how it works. Weird aint it? Your clutch will start to slip in fifth, then it will go down to 4th, 3rd, 2nd, then 1st.

So this is a early sign that he is going to need a clutch? I tell you I learn something new here every day

only when i hit 119mph, then it slips

the clutch has about 2k on it. its pretty damn new. i know i beat on it a but since i put it in but its very strong.

it only slips in 5th at very high speeds, and that's a known problem with the 95 clutch. dumbass me i researched this before i bought the car, clutch went the next day (i bought it with a bad clutch), and then my mechanic put in the 95. i wish he woulda put one in made for a 96 since it was corrected that year, but i thought nothing of it. i thought they recalled the 95's and replaced it with the 96's. i guess not.

owell no going over 120 by me at full acceleration... i just gotta remember to take my foot off the gas when i hit 115 so it doesn't put any extra wear on the clutch.

i dont know man. i researched and the 5spd's are supposed to run 14.3's with a good driver, and my car's hitting about a 14.5 with my driving in it. if it's an auto i think i may have taken him. i believe the 6spds are faster

The 350z doesn't come in a 5 speed manual, only 6 speed manuals. They come with a 5 speed automatic.


A 350z will out right murder you in every vehicular contest. I have seen the power of a 350z first hand and I'm very impressed.


And I hate to say this, Cause Mark you're cool but... How do you know you're hitting about 14.5 in the quarter? Have you been back to the track yet with your new bolt ons?

This Matt agrees with the Matt above. 14.5 in a fwd(Max's are fwd, right? correct me if I'm wrong) would require ~220whp. That's quite a bit. Are you making that? Isn't a '95 like 225 FLY hp stock!? That's a huge jump! A 350Z is no slouch, like he said. I too have experienced their go first hand.

no, there have been a lot of maximas that hit 14.5-14.6 with about 220 at the crank. maximas run 14.9 stock (my 15.4 was done three days after i bought the car and i was still learning stick. that was almost 6 months ago). couple that with a ypipe, intake, and 2.5" exhaust and you're easily running a 14.5. with fwd's there's less loss to the drivetrain than with rwd.

take this guy, for example. just a ypipe and intake and he ran a 14.63. and i have a 2.5" exhaust on him and a sts. and he was pulling 2.4 60-ft's, i pulled off a 2.2 and 2.3 when i went last.

and with the z, edmunds says it runs a 14.6 with the 6spd. so i guess the 5spd is slower.

you haven't been in my car . also one of my friends who has a z28 was looking to buy a new car a few months ago. he test drove the z... with an auto. he took it out and said he wasn't impressed. then a couple weeks later he drove the stick. didn't like it much... decided not to get it. i heard z's take mods real good though.

see above. the ypipe is a mighty bolt on. i plan on going in a few weeks when track opens up. i haven't been able to go because it's out of season. im going april 9 to norwalk right when it opens.




remember there was an old guy driving the z too. maybe he didn't know how to drive

Road&Track got it to do 0 to 60 in 5.8 and 1/4 of 14.4 @ 99.7mph

Car and Driver got it to do 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 14.1 @ 101 mph.

you haven't been in my car

I don't have to, It's a Maxima.

also one of my friends who has a z28 was looking to buy a new car a few months ago. he test drove the z... with an auto. he took it out and said he wasn't impressed. then a couple weeks later he drove the stick. didn't like it much... decided not to get it. i heard z's take mods real good though.

Well, if he's coming from a Z28 of course the Z won't be that impressive. In a straight line, the Z28 has better downlow punch. Take the Z33 out on a twisty road or out on the freeway and he'd probably really enjoy it.

remember there was an old guy driving the z too. maybe he didn't know how to drive

I tend to believe older people know how to drive better than younger people... mainly cause they've been around longer. Not always true, but around here there's a 70+ year old lady driving a 1997 SLP Z28 w/ LT4 and 6 speed. She tore up a GT Mustang... Funniest thing i'd ever seen. I was cheering like crazy.
