cause i know for sure his is an automatic....

No, but the only I30 that had the option of a manual transmission was the Touring model, aka I30t. Probably like 5% were ordered that way in any case.

do you guys think a Dinan high flow throttle body would do a lot in my car? It says 7 HP gain, but will I feel any difference?

the 325ci is going to swoooop the i30. The kid thinks his car is sooo fast. Is it possible that it runs 6.9 0-60? Guess whos taping this from the beemer Yet we better get a camera with a good zoom, and i better learn to film wats behind, becuase im going to have to film this nimrod when hes 10 car lengths behind us

[03 Dinan 3]

that's a good idea
I recommend a 20x zoom...
he'll be way back there....crying...

You have a stick??
What year is the I30,i know the 2000 model came with 227 horsepower and the newer ones came with the 255,they are basically the same thing as a Maxima only a little more luxirous.Dont sleep on the 227 horsepwer I30,i would say you would be neck to neck if both were stock and you have a manual gearbox but since you got some mods you might pull ahead.If its the 255 horsepower I30 then i bet my money on the I30.

it's the crappy I30
his 0-60 runs APPARENTLY are 7.0s....BS
mine's faster than that and I'm pretty sure I'll take him..

and yes my car is stick

They either came in like 190 or 227,i dont think the 227 horsepower I30 is that much slower then your 325

[03 Dinan 3]

it's a 2001

Whoa whoa whoa, I posted my thoughts expecting it to be one of the older models. That is the 227hp one. It will be a lot closer than you think, especially if you're not too experienced.

[03 Dinan 3]

I'm pretty experienced...I've driven manual for a solid 2 years now, and I'm pretty consistent with my shifts

[Mikester]

yea i thought it was an older model too

Yeah i was confused,i thought you guys were sleaping on the newer I30s.I think if hes a good driver then he should pull slightly on the I30 but nowhere near destroy him.

I35s= 255hp

[lvan]

older aaa hehehe If you screw with shifting you will be owned. As that guy said Maxima Nissan engines are powerfull. Also 325 is like what not even 190hp. Were you talking about 10 cars lenght to beat him. Hmmmm not sure how hehe

[03 Dinan 3]

I originally thought it would be a close race...
I have about 200HP now with my Dinan upgrades

Don't get me wrong, you WILL win. You have a weight advantage, RWD traction, plus the gearbox. Just don't make a mistake.
