Hey there allsorry to hear bout Steve was great guy, "He will be missed." I just have a quick question about when a skyline burnouts. I have a 95 r33 gts-t and I want to know what gear is the best to do a burnout in 1st or 2nd. Its completely stock and whats the length the burnout should go on for it you fang it real hard also when you are driving it really hard when shiftinh from first to second if u hear a little screeching of the tires does this mean the engine is runnin well and would you normally hear tht same little burnout when shifting from 2nd to 3rd or is this just a 1st and 2nd thing remember its a completely stock skyline. Is this normal? Andif it isnt tell me wht is please. Thanks.

Hey if a car cannot handle a redline dump and burn for atleast one set of tires then you didnt build it stong enough...

LOL

I busted my old clutch at willowbank doing a 3rd gear burnout... The crowd loved it, I was really impressed. But whats most impressive is that i did it in a controlled enviroment.

what you want to do is get your right foot completely sideways so it's across all 3 pedals. have them all nailed to the floor, then start by sliding off the clutch abit, now you're doing a burnout, use your left foot or knee to nudge the gear stick into second, as the smoke builds ease your right foot further along so now your just on the gas and powering along with a nice smoke trail. then you will have performed the perfect burnout. it will take some practice. give it a go and let me know how you get on with it.

Now your asking about the best gear for a burnout?

Are you serious mate?

By the three threads of yours so far, it seems you are one of the reasons we enthusiasts are being targeted.

I suggest you re-asses the reason your purchased the car

I remember years ago in a ff&r* a turbocharged pulsar SSS where the journalist said that he did a standing start 5th gear burnout, which i dont really think is possible, you may need get an r34 gtr 6 speed if you want to beat that.

*I do not endorse the reading of FF&R

maybe he is asking for the drags? for warming his tyres up.

Depends if you have an auto or manual.

Auto - Put it in 1, mash the brake with your left foot, stall it up, slowly release some brakes until the car is just about to start moving forward, your wheels should be spinning by now, release brake when desired.

Manual - Put left foot all the way in on the clutch, dial up some revs with the right foot, either slip off the clutch or dump it, quickly put left foot on brake to stop you moving forward, spin all of first and then quickly shift into second (fast as possible to avoid moving forward or loosing revs) and then continue with foot on brake in 2nd. When you want, lift off the brake and forward you move.

yeh, need hellavalot of power to start them in 2nd gear :(, ive seen a guy do it in a pretty much stock supra before, but i got no chance in the line, modified as it is. Was a struggle hitting it from 1st to 2nd, whilst keeping the wheels spinning stock, haven't tried recently, performance tyres +90kph not moving = about $50 of tyre every 10 seconds =( Lucky i get free tyres from dunlop/goodyear i suppose

Speaking of rooted clutches, is mine shagged if i cant hit it into 3rd from 2nd whilst still spinning? My mates got a property up at diamondcreek, and even on wet pavement, i couldnt hit it into 3rd, it would just rev out like it was in neutral, bummed clutch or to-be-expected?

How do school kids find this site? Shouldnt they be buying a gemini or cortina for their first car. At least it would be one less import to be wrecked.

thats better for us more parts to pick out from hehe LoL

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
