I don't know why, but I really like drag racing the G37... it isn't crazy fast, but it sure is a LOT of fun and if I don't have a brain fart, it does OK for a 3700 pound sedan. This wasn't a planned episode, I needed to data log some sensors at a high rate of speed, so I went to the drag strip and brought only 1 GoPro. The next day, when I looked at the video, I thought I had a story to tell... the result is this video. Thanks for your kind words!

have you logged MAF voltages? I wonder what your peak numbers for MAF voltages are. My M37s maxes out with 4.4 V on both banks.

@MotorvateDIY

4 жыл бұрын

Hey MrMszuman, Yes, I did data log the MAF voltages during some of those runs :) • Run 1 (14.059 @ 100.8) bank 1: 4.27 volts, bank 2: 4.24 volts • Run 4 (14.068 @ 101.5) bank 1: 4.30v, bank 2: 4.45v I understand the M37 has a different intake, so I don't think it is an apples to apples comparison. If you use OBDFusion or OBDLink, you can see the airflow in g/s through each MAF. For some reason, when Torque shows airflow, it maxes out at 268 g/s. On run 7 (14.098 @ 100.2) max air flow of bank 1 and bank 2 was 291 g/s.

@@MotorvateDIY thanks for the data! My M37s is slightly modified: - intake: K&N panels and ISR silicone Tubes (between filter boxes and throttles) - exhaust: Cobra High Flow Cats, full exhaust Above parts are dedicated for G37/370z, so I think they can be almost the same "apples". I thought that the limit of 268.8 for MAF was a "factory" thing from Nissan :) Good to know that the OBD Fusion can tell the truth now :) I have been checking this in Torque Pro app so far and been frustrated when the MAF limit was reached at 6600-6700 rpm. So I am going to do some runs with OBD Fusion next time. THANKS for the tip !

Hey MrMszuman, My G37 has about the same air flow through the MAFs at around 300 g/s. From the books I have, this is how they estimate HP: 300 g/s = 390 crankshaft HP (300 x 1.3) 390 crank HP = 331 wheel HP (390 x .85) That looks to be about right when you factor in some additional power loss due to friction between the wheel and dyno.

Hey man, I also just recently bought a manual G37 and there’s no way I can do all those redline pulls without my clutch pedal pressure going softer immediately. The play zone remains the same, its just pressure after the play zone is a noticeable amount less. Although if I normally drive it, the pressure seems to come back. I guess it could be called variating clutch pedal pressure. Any thoughts on what could be the fix/cause? (Just some information about the car): - Clutch fluid has been semi flushed with RBF 600 using turkey baster method - The clutch fluid level does not decrease at all, and is at max. Although there is a lot of, what seems like chunks of black rubber at the bottom of the reservoir. - the car has 170k km on it Sorry for the long post, awesome video btw!

I've read from the experts that removing the cats should be one of the last things you do cause if you do them first without doing anything else you won't really gain any power.

Hey Anup Patil, Hmmm I didn't see any posts about the battery not charging... Anyways, the charging system on the G37 is variable and controlled by the engine control unit. (ECU) I have read that some aftermarket alternators don't work as well as the Nissan or Infiniti ones. Try this: Unplug the battery current sensor that is on the negative battery cable right next to the battery. This will disable the variable charging control, and the charging voltage should stay the same at around 13-14 volts.
