ok,

this is probably a really stupid question, but i was wondering the best way to rip a fat burnout in a manual.

Auto V8's are easy... doesnt take a brain surgeon to work that one out... but i want to be able to rip a fat burnout in a manual, without shifting off the original line.. any suggestions.

i have found a few different ways, but none are perfect and most the tail likes to step sideways a bit when im doing it...

I'm going to assume that this question is in regards to burnouts when warming tyres at a legal drag meet.

1. Push clutch in

2. Select a gear (1st is simple but 2nd warms up better)

3. Build up the revs to a nice high rpm. I recommend 8,000.

4. Drop the clutch and quickly move foot from clutch to brake.

5. Heat till satisfied.

6. Serve hot.

;):D:D:D:D:D:D

It's difficult to stop the back from sliding out, but it's something you just need to live with ;)

lol... the colt.

OR... adding to leewah (which is by far the easiest and most effective)

You can use heel/toe.

Use your toe to build up revs... then put down the brake... then bring off the clutch.

It's just easier to do leewahs ;)

I know what leewah has - but the person asking the question doesnt have what leewah has - get it?

Telling someone to launch at 8000 revs when their car doesnt go that far [from factory] doesnt make sense...

anyway who cares - I have a STAR ;) !!!

oh also, when you do this at the drags, how much tire tread does it take off... cos i reckon i took about half the tread off these brand new (3000km) tires in 4 or 5 burnouts.

Thanks - just wanting to know so when i get back to melb i can push the liner into a high 13 for my first ever official drag.

my 33 hits 8000rpm (rev limit set at 8500 for some reason) but i dont think i will go that far.. in my pissy 205 tires i only need to dial up 4k..

now getting a v8 up to 8k and dropping , that could be fun.. thats about 3000rpm over the red line :P

ok im back in here - for a minute.

I still dont think its reasonable to advise people to launch at 8,000rpm - thats my point, always has been my point. And 8,000 rpm wont be necessary or possible on the average "forum user's" car!

As I said, mine will do burnouts easily launching from 3,000 - 5,000rpm so why bother with maxing your revs out just on launch? Its going to climb up to the max rpm very quickly in 1st or 2nd anyway...

Dave I think I can safely assume you are not in the category of having:

A: A GTR

B: An RB26

C: A Worked RB26

D: A Huge Aftermarket Turbo hanging off an RB26

E: A 700HP+ engine

Maybe I am wrong. This type of setup probably does need much higher revs than your average liner to invoke wheelspin, though I am sure its fun!

My main point is I think YOUR original question [the reason we are in this thread] wasnt answered effectively, thus I tried to help. I also think a lot of other forum goes will be looking in here and trying to learn from the Q&A's

/end rant

HKSgtst - hover your cursor over the star and some magic will happen :( Works differently depending on star colour ;)

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
