12.9 @ 106.9MPH ALL MOTOR Maxima!
I was really excited when I got this slip! A lot of hard work has paid off right here.
Ran a couple of other passes, but could not get the car to hook. All passes were around 106-107MPH.
Runs were made at KCIR. Density Altitude: 1712 feet || Relative Density: 95.08 %

Here are the mods:
Fujita intake
3" exhaust back to a single magnaflow muffler (Still running the stock exhaust manifolds and stock cats)
NWP spacers
NWP Block off plate
15lb Lawnmower battery (only cost $25 at walmart)
26x11.5-16 ET Streets mounted on FD RX7 wheels (super lightweight)
Lots of weight reduction
Blue tape rear "diffuser". (Blocks off the air gap between the gas tank and the rear bumper cover. Reduced drag a lot. When you see honda civics with holes in the rear bumper, this is pretty much doing the same thing. Diverting the air from getting trapped in the rear bumper. I gained a lot of mph from last time with this being pretty much the only change.)
I didn't use the spare tire skinnies this time, as this track would not allow it.
Really simple setup with very little money invested.
My goal was to hit 12s without headers and a tune. If I can get the car too hook, it should run some 12.7s in the near future.
Here is the good stuff:
Maxima in "race" trim
Me and Harold's(Grey99max) beast! Harold is living proof that this 12 second pass happened.
Here is the motor, nothing special.
Here is proof of the stock manifolds
Here is my amazingly ghetto but functional "diffuser"
Gained ~2mph with just this change.
Here are the slips:
Spun a little bit on the launch. I was super excited when I got my 12.9 slip.
Spun quite a bit on the launch.
Spun a lot on the launch.
Car feels really good. Absolutely lights up the street tires on the street.
Let me know what you guys think!

nice, job. Have you weighed the car yet?? ruff estimate? How much lb of weight reduction have you done? sorry for the million questions but if you can get that in a maxima then i would think a 350z could get it to.

Nice ET and trap. I thought about taking off the mirrors and closing up the cavity in the rear bumper a few years back, but never got around to it. Glad to see you benefiting from them.
