Hopw the hell do you do it?

I don't care if youc all me a noob etc, but i don't know.

I'm not talking about leaving 11's on the ashphalt.

I'm talking about how you keep the rear wheels spinning whilst stationary.

Thanks.

OK, so basically...

On the strip, depending on whether your car is auto or manual...

Auto - One foor firm on the break and then other on the accelerator (try not to rev car above 4000rpm)

Manual - Dump Clutch to get wheels spinning, then begin to apply the break

On the street - Drive like a normal road user!!! save tyre shreading for the track....

none of this hoon behaviour shit as it gives Skylines a bad name!

Another way you can do it is hold the brake on with ur right foot then use your heel of your right foot to work the accelerator. Have the car in like first gear and hold some revs with your right heel then let the clutch out reasonably quick.

Use more or less brake with your right foot so that you hold the car still but not so much brake that you stall the motor.

Yeah but as above you are best keeping that to the track.

Na you dont use handbrake. Your skyline is RWD unless a GTR so you only want the front brake on to hold the car still. There is a thing you can buy called a line locker which connects up with the brake lines to stop pressure getting to the rear brakes so when u put you foot on the brake only the front brakes will work.

This is however not legal on street cars.

Ideally you want no braking on the back wheels so that you can do stoppies easyier.

the easiest way is the heel/toe trick.

just keep it at about 5000rpm. if you are running streety tyres there is no need to do a big smoke burnout. just enough to get the water off is all. if you are running slicks then you need to get heat into them so a bigger burnout is better. that is where changing into second helps. you get the tyres spinning faster which creates more heat.

the handbrake only works the rear wheels so there is no point using it for the burnout. you can use it to load the motor up on the start line though if you are in a manual.

i wouldn't try starting in second unless you have a good clutch or crap tyres.

Thanks mate.

And i don't do it on the street.

To be honest, i need to learn how to drive the car before i even start trying to act like i know how to drive.

The reference up there was just so you guys know what i meant :laughing-smiley-014:

Now i can afford it, i'll stick to the tracks and skidpans to be a HOON :)

If you are in the wetbox its quite easy. No need to dump the clutch then reach for the brake pedal. Just heel and toe your loud and brake pedal, Lightly on the brake is all you need, second gear, a enough revs to be around boost and slip the clutch. If your diff works well you wont go left or right so concentrate primarily on your tacho. Just float the revs below the limiter till you feel the tyres start to bite. You are now good to go.

Dont snap your foot off the throttle, ease it off whilst taking your foot from the brake. Easier on the car that way.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
