lol, then just do it without taking the brake light fuse out. Most cars do it without having to do anything "extra". Also dont be scared your not gonna hurt anything.

Im not saying UsafaRice does this, but this is typical of a driver hammering his car then head into Nissan and say "I don't know why my tires are wearing out so fast, is this covered by warrenty?" and then get pissed off when they tell him NO and then come on to these boards and rant and rave about how crappy Nissan is...

Ruins it for those who actually do have a problem with tire wear because Nissan thinks we are all doing this to are cars.... Im not saying not to enjoy the car anyway you want, but I think its a bad idea to post pictures and videos on here so people who are associated with Nissan can point to this stuff as reason not to honor the warrenty on our cars... We shouldnt give them ammo to use against us..

Just my opinion and maybe im wrong... but thought i'd say it anyways

or you could cheat like always did........

two step rev limiter locked at 5500 RPMS and making 12 lbs of boost + a line lock = big old burnouts at the track.....

and by the way, you do not want to do a burn out with street tires.... it will only make it worse. drive around the water box, and don't burn out

Wow someone needs a chill pill!! Nissan can tell when you have been burning out, and when there is a real problem! Nissan makes great cars but their service center is whats crappy, I mean come on it took them 9 hours to rotate my tires!!!!!

yea, when someone has melted the tires like he did to make those videos, it is pretty damn obvious (not to mention the fact he will be scrubbing rubber from his fenders and wheel wells for quite some time.....)

It's like 1/2 an inch thick in there. The way I see it is that it will be sound deadening until I get it cleaned up.

Those were DRs for the record, and I was at 7100 RPM for the burn. Notice there are no tread lines in the skid marks.

And Built2shredZ, the local Nissan dealer already knows that half my warranties are voided. I mean, they installed my Tilton.

I wonder if I am the only one here who doesn't understand why people do burnouts? Is there a point I am missing? Nothing personal, I just genuinely wonder.

Nice vids, your car sounds great. Is that the Greddy Evo with test-pipes? What other mods do you have done to car? And what did you run @ the track in that run, I couldnt read the time. Nice to see some Z being ragged every once in a while, lol. Damnit I havent driven my car since Thursday, Im going through withdrawl.

It was horrible. I spun through first and second and ran a 14.2 at 107. Blah. It's the Amuse exhaust and that pathetic showing at the track is the reason for the burnout "practice."

Ok, I'll have to do this. However, you should all understand that this takes some serious miles off the tires (like 1,000s of them) for that nice long billowy burn.
