nismoR34 - i think rob was just giving you shit for fun, not saying your wrong in pointing it out.. but on the other note - you'd have to be stupid to read "dail up 8000rpm" and then go and actually do it.... however, i guess some people take everything they read here for gospel ..

Ok, I do apologise for posting saying 8000rpm was a good place to drop the clutch.

In a standard R33 GTS-T, I would still recommend around the 5000-6000rpm mark as this will ensure that the tyres break traction and can spin up quickly and efficiently.

A burnout will take of the same amount of tread as travelling the same distance while rolling. The fact that you aren't moving anywhere doesn't make a difference.

Just a quick note to draggers who wanna warm tyres before running. Everyday street tyres are designed to operate most effectivly at a specific temperature. If the tyre heats to a point past this temperature, you will actually lose traction as the tyres have been slicked up.

I found that on street tyres, a burnout really isn't necessary as these tyres are designed to work better at a colder temperature rather than hotter. If you really wanna do one, simply a quick burnout without the brake would be sufficient.

That is all...

well stated!

I agree that street tyres are generally a waste of time for burnouts [tyre warming] - now tell all the officials at the various drag strips because they expect you to do one, though I suspect they just want to please the crowd or something...

I do need new tyres though - and a clutch!

Handbrake will simply apply more braking to the rear wheels making your engine need to work harder to fight against it. THe brake pedal has more bias toward the front brakes, hence better for rear end to spin. Try getting a line locker to prevent rear brakes from working at all. It makes burnouts a breeze. Then again, they already are, and also, tyres are expensive.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
