2006 Nissan Maxima (J31) 0-100km/h VQ35DE

[alfagomma2]

Bought a 2010 Maxima 350 Ti (Teana) last month. Goes very well (fast) considering I'm still running it in. I can feel the impressive torque and acceleration any time I plant the foot. Other cars back off if they are trying to pass or sneak in front - just blip the pedal and you leave them for dead in no time.

any car with a cvt is a giant snowmobile, best

[SLYTS6]

i have a 2006 Ti Maxima and the CVT is actually very good. what surprises me with the CVT is that it is actually very quick off the mark for a luxury AUTO sedan.

[nesicmediaserver]

Couldn't agree more :-)

[MPowerArmo]

cvt sucks ballsssss nissan i luv u but that cvt shit has tooo gooo

[ANTHONYMACRI101]

dumb fucking cvt tranny shit mann

[bridgefa9]

will yall do a stock exhaust video? im thinking about getting a 2006 Nissan Maxima SL for my first car! well my parents are buying it but is it a good first car?

[TadSpencer222]

Standard figure for 0-100km/h for a 350JM is 7.5, if I'm not wrong. For the 230JM, it's 10.7 and for the 200JK, it's 12.5

[TadSpencer222]

My Daddy owned a '04 Cefiro 230JM (Maxima to you). What's the trim level of your Maxima?

[nesicmediaserver]

My '06 Maxima is in the Ti trim line. In Australia there are only two lines, ST-L which starts at $35k AUD, and Ti at $40k AUD (Ti is similar to the 350JM trim line). BTW I'm averaging 11.0L/100km with my 3.5L engine, so it's not too bad - and I often drive with a lead foot!

[TadSpencer222]

Lucky you. That's why we sold the car off in place for a puny Merc C200 Kompressor with some tiny little 1797cc engine.

[hkpoctb]

You're a fucking dumb ass, "Smartkid".  Your name draws a high degree of irony, because you're anything BUT smart. In 2006, Nissan started equipping Australian delivered Maxima's with CVT. Get your fucking facts straight first. Cunt.

[TadSpencer222]

Alright, alright, no need to quarrel. Peace.

[smartkid1985]

its either you have an 07 max or your lying because the 04-06 maxs only have manual mode

[nesicmediaserver]

This Maxima is an Australian-delivered model, and in 2006 they introduced the CVT transmission. The Australian Maxima (which is really a Japanese Nissan Teana) is different to the U.S. built Maxima.

[smartkid1985]

oh, in the u.s. here they delivered CVT to the 2007 models

[nickyriz78]

cvt dont have gears .the 06 max dont have cvt in it love the 06

[newyorkzplayas]

cvt transmission sucks a**, 6spd ftw!!

[JDKmedeng]

6spd ftw indeed.

[epicvelocity]

CVT literally makes it sound like the poor Max is gonna explode due to the fact it holds it at redline...

[AquAcid]

CVT sounds so fucken weird. Manual transmissions for life!

[hirudold]

Man I got the same car, why did it with the AC on?

[nesicmediaserver]

The climate control system was on, but not the AC, so the system was just blowing air from outside. Probably should have switched it off though - as well as the VDC.

[shawtiee1085]

can u make a video of the speedometer and tachometer 0-60...thanks

[EmceeEric]

There's no way you were going 100km/h there, nothing was moving past your car THAT fast.

[nesicmediaserver]

It only looks slow because the digital camera I filmed the footage with doesn't have a very wide-angle view. Also, the G-Tech meter that timed the run is calibrated to stop timing when the car reaches 100km/h, which is detected using its inbuilt accelerometer.

[DAILL2DEF]

wow....that sounds weird as hell lol....no gears huh? i guess that's the future though

[sunnyjason]

It got a CVT gearbox which doesn't have "GEAR" in stead of a metal chain

[DAILL2DEF]

is it more fuel efficient? does it perform the same as a usual tranmission at higher speeds?

[sunnyjason]

Yes, it is more fuel efficient b/c it can keep the rev at the most efficient band. And yes, it does the same performance as the a normal gearbox

[DAILL2DEF]

wow....i'm gonna have 2 drive 1 and see for myself....i mean, the 5 speed gets pretty good mileage, but if it gets better, then i might wanna check that out, especially if it's the same performance

[darkstargtx]

damn you got one slow max.... i can do that in the low 6 seconds...

[nesicmediaserver]

I'm guessing you own a US-built Maxima - mine is the Japanese-built 'Teana' which here in Australia is known as a Maxima. Same VQ35 engine, but it's only tuned to output 228hp, compared to the current U.S. version at 255hp, so thats where the difference in performance would be (plus my takeoff technique in the vid was straight flooring from idle with VDC on). Still this car in Australia beats any of the locally built 6-cylinder large sedans from Ford, GM, Toyota and Mitsubishi, so I'm happy!

[DAILL2DEF]

damn....yea i have a 2004 so that's the 265 hp engine and the standard 5 speed automatic; i actually grabbed that 1 instead of the cvt's cause unlike other ppl, i like the shift shock lol...that's crazy that they detune it to 228...doesn't matter, car still kicks ass ;-)

[hirudold]

The J31 Teana is an Asian model focused more on urban driving and fuel efficiency, the VQ35DE inside the Teana reaches its max. torque 34kgm/333nm at just 2800rpm

[TadSpencer222]

My Daddy's J31 230JM was a fuel guzzler.

[carsfanz]

CVT is non stage transmission le..as what mountexplorer said...motorboat..haha...i prefer auto one...

[Mountexplorer]

This sounds like a motorboat...

[nesicmediaserver]

Haha, yeah it does sound a bit like one!

[Deth420]

Isnt there a Manual mode for this nissan though? Ive seen a vid with an 04 CVT Transmission and he was pullin that shit to its extent through 2 gears and it sounded amazing for a japanese car, why not just use it in manual mode man? shit looks like its got all the torque in there.

[nesicmediaserver]

It's got a manual mode, but the response time is slow and ultimately since it's a CVT its always going to be more efficient (both acceleration and fuel wise) in normal Drive mode.

[Phukedcunt]

Odd but my j31 without CVT recorded around 6.5 on a gtech , try turning the VDC off .

[nesicmediaserver]

I'll have to give that a try. I reckon with it off, and the revs at the right level I should be able to bring it down to below 7 seconds.

[Rfsancho]

CVT = Continuously Variable Transmission

Basically there is a drive and driven gear, they both have cone shape on inside

When one opens, the cable between goes more in, and the other closes so the cable goes more out

so driver gear can close to open cable and driven opens , for a low gear setup. and vice versa for a high

It never shifts, it never shift shocks

CVT has infinite gears so to speak

Its quite amazing too

But its pure shit because they cant take high torque

[MALOSINZ]

Not bad mate. The CVT sounds funny though eh - no shifting, sounds like it's staying in only one gear the whole time.

[azizt16]

welll it kinda is

[ssdwellah]

Actually it isn't staying in one gear at all: it's basically the opposite. It's varying gears continuously such that its more or less staying in the same RPM the whole time, not the same gear.
