I still got my stock rims and tires in my garage. Maybe I can just throw those bad boys and have a little fun.

 

Nice Burnouts! Car sounds great! I like the flames too!

What's the Gtec giving you on 0-60 and quarter mile?
And what all mods do you have?

Thanks again for the video. Nothing wrong with ******* out some old tires before getting some new ones, I do it all the time.

 

flames are usually caused by momentary rich conditions... when i would let off the gas at the race track going into a corner, or when shifting hard, my cars usually blew them..


yea, DR's don't last long as it is, but that is just a great video.....

 

I was going to complain for how large that posted pic was.....until I made it my desktop wallpaper. Nice.

 

That's so funny, the photographer thoroughly enjoyed the comment.

My mods are mostly listed on this site

And more pics of the after-effects of the burnout are here

RE: got this topped.........Look at Peter from APS's AVATAR

 

LOL YEAH!! All the FRONT TIRE feathering issues were caused by burnouts!

I do think Z's are "profiled" somewhat..The police do it and I feel like some of the dealers do as well. Consider this when reading some of the dealership saga's.

 

Duh, the Z's pretty much the same thing as a Maxima or Altima, and they're front wheel drive as well right?

And the comment about Peter's sig, I say, that's a good one as well, but I'm more concerned about video evidence of the burnout, not the marks on the pavement.

So, you've all had a week now, let's see some competition.

 

on my 04 when I pulled the fuse the car shut off...they must have changed something, so I had to learn to do it with the fuse in

 

wow that brought a tear to my eye, it was beautiful man... I'm buying my wheels and tires in a few weeks, you've inspired me to blow the living shiit out of my OEM tires. lol I'll film it and let you know when its posted... =)

 

Here's a few practice shots, with the fuse still in...

 

That last pic is sweet!

 

Why thank you, thank you...

 

Love the SHAVED look...

 

That looks like $600 worth of tire damage sitting there!

 

YO thats the best shi# I seen man, nice.

 

yea, why?

 

he's doing what you HAVE to do in order to get good traction at a track...Burnouts are essential for decent 60 foot times.
I agree that you should not go to your nissan dealer complaining about your treads being down I also would NEVER do this type of burnout on street tires since it's somewhat useless...you get dr's put them on before you go to the track and do the burn out.

 

The Z has drive by wire and it is programmed to take away power (around 30%) when you hit the gas and the brake pedal at the same time...why? beats me...and so it makes standing burnouts very difficult, hence bad traction = bad 60 foot.
In order to trick the computer you can take out the Brake light fuse and so the DBW will not be activated when hitting the brake and throttle making it it much easier to do a standing burnout.

Now as I stated before I believe they changed that on the 04's because when I took out the fuse I immediately got a cel when I hit the brake and throttle and the car actually shut off leaving me very embarrassed at the track....so I just had to learn to pump the break and revving up a bit higher and burnout with the fuse in place.

Now the real way to do this is by using a linelock which is a solenoid that keeps the front break on once you hit a button while on the break and then you can revv without wear and tear on the rear brakes and you can burnout really well...now unfortunately due to ABS in our cars installing this is a nightmare and might not even work because of the stupid, horrible, retarted drive by wire which I will never understand why this was done to us in the first place...

Hope this helps
