I have APS twins, ACT clutch, light weight flywheel, EVO TT exhaust, Invidia test pipes, and MT ET drs. When I went to the strip last I would go through the wet box spin a little to get my tires wet, pull up drop the clutch at 5k and power break it. The RPMs starting dropping I would ease off the break, but then the car would start pulling forward, this was bad because the tires would barely smoke if at all. I was thinking of trying dropping it in 2nd to get a faster wheel spin, but i'm afraid it will bog down and fall on it's face. I know if I get my tires warmer they will hook up a lot better. Anyone else with drs do you drop it in 2nd?

 

no one?

 

Julian from MRC had some nice burnouts in the video between Phil and him.He's probably real busy but shoot him a PM

 

My DR's don't smoke that much with a first gear burnout but the stick pretty well off the launch.

What are your 60' times?
What RPM's are you launching at?

 

MT ET DRs require little to no burnout. Are they still spinning too much during your launch? If so, you may need to feather the clutch a little more.

 

the best 60ft i have had is horrible like a 1.99 I should be able to get it a lot lower. I'm launching at 4,200

 

Thats your problem! Launch between 5500 and 6000 rpm's and get back with us.

If your tires are spinning at 4200 then either the track prep is horrible or your tire pressure is way too high.

 

thats a problem with a lot of the tracks that have a Friday street car night . They dont prep the track at all , and its harder than hell to get under 2 sec 60 ft. and the times are slow .

 

I run 15psi air on my D'Rs.

 

pull ur rear brake fuse, problem solved

 

I had 16 in mine, tried the first run with 18 and it wasn't working.. muzzy are serious?

 

Yes, he is serious. Pull the rear brake fuse.

 

If you've got enough power a 2nd gear burnout shouldn't be out of the question.

 

I have the same problem at the same track. Bristol Dragway. They dont prep the track worth a damn for the street fight nights. Since they just had Pinks All Out this past weekend you should try to get some runs in 350z 2nr, Tuesday or Thursday where the track might still be prepped some from that. I got an 11.9 with a 2.0 sixty. Had the same problem doing the burn out, guess ill try pulling the fuse to the rear brakes.

 

Do you know what fuse it is? I'm afraid the weather won't be good for them to have street fights any this week. Which sucks pretty bad, what night are you going down? It would be fun to run ya.

 

Its in the fuse box next to the clutch...it says Brake on it (look on the fuse box locator on the fuse box door). I did it last time I went to the track and I could do a burnout for as long as I wanted. Just remember to put it back in before you leave...

 

Is it safe to run the car without it? haha I mean can I stop haha

 

removing the fuse dose nothing to your braking power, all it does is eliminate the circuit that lights the tail lights and lets the computer know when your useing the brake...and its called "brake lamp" fuse ...you brakes are not affected after you remove it...removing it allows you to burn out because the comp does not think your using the brake and doest not cut the throttle as it usually does

 

Just make sure you put it back in before you leave the track, or else you may get rear ended.

 

I actually think I blew that fuse when trying to do a burnout. My lights only light up when I brake, and my plate light doesn't come on.
