I was trying to show my friend a burnout in my Z but I screwed up. So I lined back up and tried it again and I got off to a great start. I revved all the way up close to redline and then shifted, peeling out in 1st, then 2nd. However, when I shifted to 3rd while my tires were squealing, my car just didn't rev anymore (kinda like when you hit the rev limiter). I'm 100% sure I didn't hit the rev limiter , as I was watching the tach the whole time. It was just when I was in 3rd, I pressed the throttle but it didn't give any gas. So I let off the gas and proceeded to drive like normal. Is something wrong? My car drives ok still, as I drove it a couple miles back home.

U REVED TILL REDLINE???!!! U dont need to do that to peel out.
First off burnouts are not to good on ur car esp on your tires.
Second if you rev to like 5k that should be more than enough. Just drop it and it will burn, feather the clutch and the gas to keep it burning without it going forward.
Why would u shift while ur burning rubber?!?! Your not moving much and ur shifting to second and third? Iono but that seems like a lot of stress on ur transmission and tranny.

No no! Let me reiterate. I revved to 3K, dumped the clutch and proceeded to press the gas until my RPMs hit close to redline (my tires were still spinning). I shifted to 2nd, pressed the throttle, and they kept spinning. Only when I shifted to 3rd gear did my car end up not responding. I never actually hit redline in any gear.
The last time I tried it (a few weeks ago), I never shifted out of 1st gear. I eventually regained traction while still in first but when I hit the rev limiter, my fuel was cutoff and I watched my RPMs fall to nothing. I figured if I just shifted to the next gear, I could still maintain spinning the tires and not have the rev limiter cut me off.

no, i know what he is talking about. i love taking my friends when it rains to do donuts and **** in the parking lots around here. with the lots slick, its alot of fun to whip the tail around, but u can't get it going that good unless u shift into second. but just like what he was explaining, when i go from second to third, no matter what the conditions are, it just nevers revs up in 3rd. maybe a safety thing from nissan or possibly our cars dont have enough power.

Dude.. Rev it to redline and let your foot off the clutch ASAP. You're simple not doing it quick enough. Practice time and time again and save money for your new trans as well.
Good luck with your ego trip.

And for the record, it is much easier to do a standing burnout than a rolling burnout. Once you have the car moving there is not as much remaining power to break traction with.

Of course, as Z-Stalker so kindly put it in his nice sarcastic tone, it's not good for your transmission. Of course, doing 1 or 2 shouldn't hurt.
Oh, and turn TCS/VDC off.
