Would be better if you knew when to shift.

@tyhicks2 The wheels were still spinning when the tach hit the rev limiter in 1st... If I shifted earlier, 2nd gear would have picked up too, out of the power band, and 0-60 would have been slower... sooo yea, I know when to shift

not really a launch but its a good way to burn rubber till 3rd gear. if ur car has enough torque..

[BOB24502]

@maxboy01ae I'd probably need 400+ whp to burn tires in 3rd

hey BOB do you ever get rattles and pinging sound from your nissan 2003 at 1/5k-3k RPM? I do and I don't know why. nissan tech did diagnosis and give me the problem and quote. how reliable are they?

[BOB24502]

@tainle Also, if you have a rattle around 2k rpm (not a pinging), and it only happens when the engine revs down, it's most likely your pre-catalytic converter (most likely the one located next to the firewall). I had the problem. nissan quoted me $1400 to repair it... I bought the part on eBay for $280 and had a local exhaust shop put it on for $75...

I hope this helps you save some $

@BOB24502 rattles and knocking noise when accelerating and add gas. no sounds if no gas is added. i seemed like more pulling forces cause the rattles/knocking. i took it to my friend and he did a oil flush and it a bit better but pinging is still there but not as loud as before. temperature is a big factor.

@BOB24502 the nissan tech say: there was wear inside that cause a -15degree off and should be at original +5degree. probable cause is a wear and they suggest i replace all tensioners. they printed a list of chain tensioners, tensioner, slaves tensioners. cost about $750 in part. and $1400 in labor, with taxes hit me about $2400 insane price. does this car ever need tensioners change at 100k mileages or so?

[BOB24502]

@tainle My car used to ping around 2k rpm at half throttle... I used to have a short ram air intake that sucked in lots of hot air in the engine. I then switched to an injen intake that introduces much colder air and the pinging is gone. I also changed the intake air temperature sensor which helped a bunch. Another mod I did which helps further reduce the intake air temperature are NWP engineering phenolic spacers.

What did nissan tech say the problem was?

@123chunhou the "x1000 area" is the tachometer. it shows how many 360 degree turns the crank makes every minute. the red part is known as the "redline" . when your rpms are in this zone it means the motors internal parts are moving at their maximum speed and are undergoing a lot of stress. in order to get out of redline you have to change gear or let off the accelerator.
