Have you even tried this in the Z yet? Engine power is cut by the ECU when brake/gas is used simultaneously.

I'm running street radials Falken azenis and my z is manual so when you power brake the power gets cut off.

Ive done this in my Z at the track and it really wasnt worth it on my street tires. All it did was burn more tread off my tires faster. If you were running DR's or slicks than I'd say go for it.

then you dont need to do a brake stand at the track if you are running street tires

+ 1. This will prevent the ECU from knowing your brakes are on, thus not cutting power off.

Look in the chapter entitled Tips for Teen Driving. It’s all right there.

the fuse is a 10A fuse. i believe it is located approximately on the bottom right hand side. To the right of the fuse picker in the first cluster of 3. its the first fuse that has the 10 on it. located in the bottom row. If you still have trouble, you can buy a haynes do it yourself manual, complete taredown book and they are located in advanced auto parts stores. The book will show you everything you need to know about the fuses. Im me personely if you still have problems. I cant stand these know it all E-thugs!!!!! And of course the fuse panel is in the drivers side kick panel.
