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:

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
