No reply. No time slip. Credibility is in jeopardy.

Yeah, for years I rocked the DSM's and went pretty fast in my 2nd Gen. I got a bike after that and dumped it at the track 3 years ago landing me in the hospital for quite a long time. There was a thread on the .org about that too lol.. Dad has been pretty active there for years. It's funny people assume that because my father is active there and racing his car that I'm 15 or something. Even though his profile says he's 61 people just assume I'm a kid living at home with my folks lol...

As for the track...when you go back on sticky tires, burnout in second gear. (you'll need to remove the "stop lamp" fuse next to the dead pedal to do burnouts).
So is this what was stopping me from doing a burn out even with the VDC off? I tried to do one and notice the car was acting funny so I just didn't bother after that. I thought maybe I was doing it wrong or something. I had a Pathfinder years ago and could do burn outs in it (for fun...) and didn't have any problems so I couldn't figure that out...

VQ35 Swap, Nitrous, 4th gen trans, UTec, full 2002 wiring with working variable valve timing, cams, headers full exhaust, 350z intake manifold with Mrev2 spacer etc, performance torque converter, welded diff, slicks, weight reduction, LOTS of tuning etc etc etc... It's a full jam car. Basically every thing you can buy for power he has. The pistons/rods are stock however.. Dynoed 285whp plus nitrous. That run he sprayed 100 out of the hole and another 100 in second gear for 200 total on a dual nozzle NX kit.

Why doesn't embedding youtube ever work for me?

Exactly. When you touch the brake....the electronic throttle cuts. Pull the stop lamp fuse and you're good to go.
