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...

dave ;)

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 ;)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
