Default Did My First Doughnut Today

Well iam kinda new here. But went out to lunch today and took a buddy.
So we had like 10min extra so went around the back of the store and dumped it at 4,000rpm, And BAm like on ice Doughnut city.

Kinda cold out so dont think it took much tread off.
Could belive how perfect of a circle it made.
Just wondering if anyone else has fun doing these every once in awhile.
Have 06 Enth. 6mt Nismo Exhuast and Nismo Air Intake

Wait until you price the rear tires and those donuts won't be so much fun anymore.

i agree with the above statement. its fun... but tires are 'spensive.

ima get a set of 19s and put some avs es100s on those for good treadwear, daily driving. ima keep me my stock 18s and throw some sticky tires on those when i wanna get crazy.

lol..this reminded me about my friend trying to donuts in front of a hooka shop with his ae86. But before he did it, he asked the owner for permission, the owner said yea go ahead. So, then he started doing donuts, 2 min later, the owner came out yelling:"NO STOP! I THOUGHT U WANT TO BUY SOME DONUTS"....lol..we were all like..wow, no comment. hahaah

I'd be less worried about buying tires and more worried about breaking somthing else. As fragile as 350z clutches seem (from what i'v been reading alot lately) i'd be afraid i'd burn somthing up doing doughnuts. What exactly does doing doughnuts put strain on and if you do them say once every 2 months would there be a big risk of messing somthing up?

Just curious. I'v always driven FWD cars and when i get my z i'd love to experience doing some doughnuts but if its at the risk of tearing somthing up i'd rather not.

There's no possible way you can fry a clutch by doing donuts... Unless your a complete moron...the clutch is engaged and a foot should only be on the "most rightest" pedal. The only thing you wear while doing donuts are your tires. Unless your bouncing off your rev-limiter for 10+ seconds, you'd b murdering your motor.

Stock clutches are VERY stout. Anybody who stays NA and cant get atleast 40K out of them is retarded, and cant drive a stick properly.

BTW-donuts with a manual wont burn your clutch
