Performance Question

[Daboss]

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.

lol your kidding right. Doing a burnout is rocket science mate and its hardly a performance question.

School holidays are here again i see...

[paulr33]

[eMsta]

hmm....take it to a multi level carpark and try it there...

no no - just kidding - dude, your gonna start wrecking ur car sooner than u think!

[Col-GTSX]

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

Can you start off in 3rd? I haven't been to the drags since I got the manual installed.

i did a burn out with my 1982 civic once - with about 100 of nM of torque - it torque steered violently.....

Edit - incase ppl dont realise i was just joking

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

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.

well said michael

[AlexCim]

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?

Start car (make sure you car is dead cold), put it in second engauge clutch, hold accelerator flat for at least 3 minuets (bouncing off rev limiter) then drop clutch.

Should be real good for your car.
