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 ;)

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
