it may very well be. i'm too poor to buy a fly-looking helmet with graphics on it, so i bought a 2nd-hand one from salvation army. there's "speed-holes" where it got cracked, and the scratches provided better airflow

Hey 350z-Jim,

Congrats on your Dad's win. That Street warz was a 12.5 sec + class as far as I know. Is the max running that fast? What does he have in there?

Its a VQ35 with all NA mods. The car can run 12.1 if he rev's it out. Its automatic and he made up some box that controls how the tranny shifts and what RPM. So he dials back the shift point from 7100 to 6000 to make it run slower at 12.5. Its a VQ35 on a 4th gen maixima auto tranny with a Z intake manifold and a whole bunch of performance stuff (headers, ypipe, manifold spacer, UDP, cams, Z10 torque converter, etc etc.... the list goes on and on)

It has all the normal NA stuff we do to our cars plus he hardwired in a UTEC to the maxima ECU and tunes it himself. Dad was an Engineer before he retired for the military so he can figure all that stuff out. He's more of a reverse engineer I would think...

WOW! That is fast. Is he running DR's? What is his trap speed on a 12.1 run?

Can he do those mods to a Z? Pretty amazing.

1 car that did stand out of the crowd was a red NSX with the engine moved behind the seat where you can see it tru the backwindshield.....sexy .

lol, sorry don't mean to be an ***, but thats the funniest comment I read in a while. The guy didn't move his engine to the back.

The NSX 's engine is always in the rear.

thats nathen's car from team toyo, all nsx models are MR since the 1st model came out from late 80s. they usually have a engine cover that go under the trunk lid so you wont see the engine. nathen dont have a choice to put the cover back since he has the SC installed and to show off his GruppeM charger cover

Yeah he is Jime on most forums. He posts here as well. Most guys in the nissan world around here and especially the maxima world know who he is. Nobody really has been able to beat his time or make more power NA from a VQ than what he has done.

He is retired so making power on his car basically is his full time job...
