How bad is it to do a rev dump burnout in 1st gear? what is the proper way to do it? after rev dumping first gear, are you meant to put it into second while easing off the accelerator or can you flat shift it into second? I sat it on the spot for about 10 seconds in 1st gear and im pushing just under 200kw. Also, is it ok to just straight up rev dump it on second gear? Basically, what is the safest way to sit it on the spot

Not bad at all, we all do them all the time. Its the only way to launch a Skyline or a Silvia. And yeah flat shift is easy as, wait till valve bounce and pop it. Even third if your car is tough enough [c'mon u know it is!!!].

And finally, the safest way to sit it on the spot is to keep doing said burnouts till your clutch shreds. Then it will sit on that spot for as long as you want.......or until tow truck comes anyway.

I have 461kw + 1000Nm and no burnouts for me, reckon I will have to rev it till the valves bounce and step off, the only thing smoking will be my clutch, lol

Your tyres are too big for your 10 in rims. Stretch some 215s on and instant burnouts (if the tyres stay on that is...)

burnout is when you feel depressed and can't go on..............you were just pushed way too far and now your physically and mentally exhausted............bit like this thread really.

Do this, guaranteed good smoke:

  • Press clutch
  • Slot into 3rd gear (hold it in gear so it won't pop out)
  • Mash the accelerator, make sure it is bouncing off the limiter
  • Depress clutch as fast as you can, the faster the better

100% crowd pleaser, I did this at the SAU NSW Texi

Don't listen to this guy, this video clearly demonstrates how to do a burnout.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
