yeh depends, do u have the stock suspension? if not you should change so some stiffer IRS stabilizers? drift pinaples, i had the same problem with my ss so i changed to some pedders IRS rubbers, also some stiffer suspension will help, if you already have this maybe it is just a case off letting the clutch go at a diffrent rpm range

yeh i got bilstein coilovers all round,other than that stock,

"drift of the mark" lol

possibly look at your technique

how hard are you hitting the break?

do you heal toe or use both your feet?

what kind of road are you trying it on?

what tyres do you have?

try dropping the clutch at different rpms

then again your clutch could be slipping or something might be loose on your drivetrain?

could be a number of things.. what car do you have btw?

???

i meant it dusnt do it when i just spin the wheels tryn to launch of the spot,it just wont let me sit on the brake smoothly with out bouncing around and making a banging noise,

r32 dude,i heel-toe,i know how to do a burnout,something just dusnt feel quite right,

gonna try my stockies on the rear as i have 18inch koning rims and they are extremely heavy they also have very grippy tyres on them,

theres a rubber stabilizer where the diff mounts to the body if that is perished it will probally be cause the diff to bounce a round, so is it everytime you do a burnout it happens when u first put it on the brake?

yeh its when i make it sit on the spot spinning the wheels, its more the diff that bounces around than the gearbox,gonna put it on a hoist sum time during the week and have a better look,cheers,

Studs being the top and bottom shock mounts?

the two studs at the top are broken,clean sheared off,not sure whether to get them fixd or buy new coilovers,probly get new ones,

*sigh*

was there really a need for that?

The Active LSD is annoying, you can feel it flicking between wheels alot :P

that's what i was going to suggest, mine used to do it like crazy, although mine had solid aluminium subframe bushes that made it worse.

lucky you discovered it before it was too late...

if it's anything like most coilovers, its just two studs pushed into the top hat, so you should be able to replace them cheaply. :D

my old car never had a problem grabbing 2nd

sometimes with a crappy dump of the clutch it shook the whole dash etc, but more revs solved that.

get up on high revs and then play with it on the brake. should be smooth when your stabbing the gas while on the brake, leaving a nice set of strips up some road :cheers:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
