After having a look at Ashneel's link, I suggest everyone take due care in what they proceed to type in this part of the forum.

This goes for you Luckiee and anyone else replying.

Awww Eug..... But but but....

seriously, this is probably your first car, so i guess i can understand that you want to be able to do burnouts, we have probably all been there at some stage of our life, and alot of us probably still do them.

word of advice, practice.... once you get it skidding a bit you will get more confidence and get better at it. dont compare your 2.5l against a commadore for wheel spins, you loose, but if you want to do it, practice and you will get there.

You will also get new wheels, brakes, gearboxes, rims (from gutter rash) and the list goes on and on... bare that all in mind when your having fun

what is the actual purpose of having to want to do a burnout?

why be so god damn stupid? im sorry but i just dont see the need to do a burnout.......but thats me maybe its because i cant justify wasting my 800 set of rear tyres on doing a burnout - let alone the amount of load the car is out under when doing a burnout.

why try to prove something like that? so u can be in the "in club" to look cool???

like i said maybe its me, but i really dont see the need for it. have i done a burnout in my car...no....has someone else....yes.......but once and once only is enough for my little car.......i dont want to put her under that sort of pressure again.

i dunno maybe people should respect their cars a bit more instead of trying to be heros and do burnouts and shizz......

my 2 cents

peace out.

question: how does using the gears on an auto gearbox cause less stress??? if only you would be cause stress being auto your holding the revs out computer wants to change to the next gear but your preventing it. eventually your box will get really sloppy and you will kill it

I'd wager most of us love doing a burn out, just for the sake of it too (from time to time). As far as where it is done, if you do it on the road (and get caught) more fool you. As we all know it is illegal and quite possibly dangerous too. As for stress on the car, sure it will stress it. But so will drag racing (on the strip) and so will circuit racing (on the circuit). Every time I go to the track I break something. It's what happens. That's what a lot of our cars are for. The real question is why would you (one) come onto this forum and say silly things, then have a big tantrum when everybody (understandably) gets stuck in. Such a big tanty in fact that it way as well have been a hand delivered invitation to get stuck in. I say due respect was shown to him. Gawd bless him.

i agree Cara, most people just do it once to get it out of their system. Other than that the only 'logical' reason I can see is to warm up those tyres prior to launching.

and i think that is a logical reason for it........the only proper reason for doing a burnout realistically is that i saw no other need for it.

but if u want to get it out of ur system then go and do it on the track or at a drag meet - do it legally

ok so your not interested un hooning yet your trying to rip it up on the streets

ummmm

ok what you can try is this http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fl...ar-t254132.html if you keep flat sticking it will eventually rip up.....you gearbox lol

I'm glad somebody spotted it... You're still here mate? Didn't get the answer you were after? Feel free to lose your license and/or confiscated Nissan, our roads are safer without you :P

just a little off topic but say someone was doing something illegal and someone else videotaped this someone on a mobile phone and the first someone got the second someone to send it to him and now the first someone wants to get the video tape off his mobile and onto the computer?

the someone cant just transfer it for some reason and it only comes out as noise on the someones computer. anyone know a program that someone could download of the internet to convert someones moblile phone videos onto the computer.

cheers (someone)

kinda embarassing driving a skyline that can't rip up

Isn't it "kinda embarrassing" driving a non-turbo R33 anyway? Not quite as embarrassing as driving a Skyline with a slusho, but its still not something to go bragging about.

That's a very slippery slope you're yelling down. The very same thing could be said about people tarting up entry model cars as show ponies and dyno queens, when the money spent could have been put into buying a good car to begin with.

To the OP, when I find that traction is not high on my priority lists I tend to use a bit of this on the tread face.

Unlike diesel or other lubricants, getting caught by the cops spraying this stuff onto your tyres isn't as plainly illegal....not that you'd be doing such a thing on a public road. It also scrubs off pretty quickly too, so after you engage in your drag strip warm-ups and go home it should return the tyre to normal.

You just need to try a different media player. I forget which one usually works. Should come preloaded on your machine.

Simple google search would turn up your answer.

^^^ vlc player?

Can't rip it up ?

Try scissors, you'll be able to cut your licence in half with little effort.

Stall it up mut.... then she'll rip :D

don't know why people think non turbo skylines are so slow, obviously the turbos are faster.. but for a P plate friendly car there quite zippy, i beat all the other usual p plater cars easy with mine (fords commos etc) only other decent cars are the light weight worked VTECs lol.

P.S on the track ofcourse.

Does pretty much everything, and it's free, no catches. Been using it for quite some time now.

my car is a good car and has been from the start thank you very much.

Haha, gotta love it. everyones like "umm what your doding is illeagal, but try this. should help"

fact is. your in an auto skyline man, its just not built to do stand stills, if you were drifting it would be a difforent story but even then your in an auto which is no good for drifting anyway. Your using the wrong car for the application.

that said, its a matter of factors ie. too much grip, the car is fairly heavy compaired to the power, and it really doesnt help that you dont have a clutch.

Panda.

That's a matter of perspective, which is my point.

After all, that's what hardparking Civic drivers say about their rides too.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
