Default Tips on doing burnouts

I have just bought my 350Z and i wanted to know from allyou long time 350z owners out there, how to do the best burnout in the 350Z, step by step. Dont get me wrong i have done my share of burnouts but i just wanted to know if the clutch would be damaged.

The first step is to set up a reserve account for tires; these suckers are expensive & doing burnouts is gonna only go thru them faster!!

haha, first gear... while holding the clutch in you step on the pedal.. put it to about 3,000 rpm or 3500 with traction control off. when you let your foot off the clutch your transmission will engage suddenly and your tires will get all the power from your engine and spin your tires. Don't do this all the time it wears your clutch as well as your tires.. but for fun once in a while... that's how you do it.

don't rev much over 3500 or you can kiss the clutch good-bye!

word, alot of RWD cars with DR's have to do it. Its not a matter of showing off, its a matter of necessity for some people. Its function over form.
