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.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
