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:

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
