Burnout question

[Nissan-S14]

Ok i dont know why this is a problem for me, but i cant do a burnout. I tried yesturday at atco, i droped the clutch at about 4000 rpm. then was trying to hold on the brake while holding the gas, now the car was still moving a bit , so not a good burnout. Am i doing something wrong?

[Fenvy]

it's harder to do burn out on rwd anyways, do you hear your tire chirp at all? maybe you have sticky tires with good traction so you don't do burn out as easy

I can do burn out at 1500 rpm on my integra and a really weak one on my 240sx around 2500 rpm

Unless you have a front brake lockoff setup, you will ALWAYS move while doing a burnout, thats just the nature of it. Just bounce it off the limiter and dump the clutch, should result in a burnout

[Touchdown038]

Please tell me that your tires were spinning while you were holding the brake and the gas at the same time.

Otherwise, I know why you can't do a burnout, and that's cuz you glazed your clutch.

burnout - revving and dropping the clutch and taking off while squeelingbrake torque - revving, holding the brake while holding the gas, dropping the clutch sitting there spinning the tires.

Your Problem - I dont think your pressing the gas enouf. Hold in the brakes really really hard. When u dump the clutch if your rpm's go down press the gas more DO NOT REPRESS THE CLUTCH AS YOU WILL DESTROY IT LIKE I DID. Now heres what ya do1 - Hold the gas n brake with one foot, the clutch with the other.2 - while holding the brake REALLY hard rev to 4000k3 - dump the clutch and you should probablly press the gas harder to prevent from killing4 - after tires start spinning, maintain 4000K rpm's and you should have a hell of alot of smoke witin 20 secs. (I attracted cops once. Too bad i wasnt there when they came)

To burn out.1 - Best to do on flat surface.2 - press clutch, revv to desired RPM.3 - depress clutch while revving.4 - if done right you will spin your tires on takeoff.You could prolly do it if your sittin there and you let off the clutch and press the gas real fast as i have done this a couple of times.

Its not hard to do a burnout. Now to get 2nd gear chirp on a stock ka24e.... thats a diff story but i can still do it.

[240Knightrider]

Its fun to do a 2nd gear chirp cause most people cant do it and they are all amazed.

[lofapoo]

My car doesn't move at all when I'm burning out, but maybe it's because it's an auto

You went to atco raceway yesterday? Hit me up on AIM: ge0man if you go again... WHta did you run BTW?

Thanks , ill try that , but i do have very sticky tires, and get very good traction from them, When i change my rear tires when i drift thats when ill try my burn out.

By the way my car chirps on 2nd gear 90% of the time, with these tires, and if i put my drift tires on, forget it i loose traction when i switch to 2nd.

Only second I can chirp 3third. hehehe nice and stiff clutch and probly blad tires too.

[thecrazyriver]

heres a stupid noob question, how can I chirp my tires shifting into second. This is my first 5speed so I am still learning, but when my friends can do it and I cant it just annoys me. Sorry to jack the thread by the way.

quick shifting thats about it

[StockerThanStock]

I have an auto transmission and if I give it more than ~2500 rpm from a stop the tires break traction.

It's not that hard... I did it the first time I tried about 2 weeks after buying my car (and learning to drive stick). In all honesty I didn't even think about it until my friend did it while he was driving my car.

brake torque - revving, holding the brake while holding the gas, dropping the clutch sitting there spinning the tires.

i've always called it power braking....o well....as for chirping 2nd i do that all the time with stock KA...

[drifter_for_life06]

2nd gear cherps are great, makes it seem liek your car could have a really built motor under the hood. but they are still pretty damn cool

[BaliLover]

2nd gear chirp got me pulled over.

I had a T-bird full of thugs staring into my car at my girl, so I took off the line a bit quick, and chirped into 2nd. Never exceeded the speed limit though. I end up at a light, and the T-bird ends up next to me. Hes reving, light turns, he takes off, I slowly roll from the line and let him haul way off ahead. I look in my mirror, and theres a cop, who pulls ME over. He let the T-bird, who exceeded the speed limit, and was trying to street race go.

He tells me he stopped me because he heard me chirp 2nd. I asked if I exceeded the speed limit, he said no. I tried to explain that I don't street race, and that I was trying to get some distance between me and the thugs since they kept staring into my car. He didn't seem to care, then moved onto to complain about my exhaust, saying that anything other than stock is illegal. Funny thing is, I had rolled into a classic car club meeting in a Wendys parking lot when he pulled me over. I looked around at all the side pipes and hearing the loping V8s loud as hell and had to restrain myself from laughing since he was complaining about mine.

He let me go with an exhaust warning, but tried to tell me he could write me for street racing because I chirped 2nd. Yeah, cops around here profile a tad bit too much.

[PhaneSoul]

hehehehehe.... thats why you keep the things on papers that say its 100% street legal....

[scruffy63]

and where would you get these things from???

[240SXer]

When I do a burnout I rev it up to about 4k (whatever it takes to to get the tires spinning good), then drop the clutch, and immediatly go to the brake, and hold it lightly just to keep the car from moving forward. Pretty simple. But be careful, it's easy to be spinning your clutch and not your tires and not notice. Here are some videos of me doing a burnout:

http://www.racingonthestreet.com/cars/240sx/videos

The videos are first second and third burnout...

I've got a ACT street disk and after the third burnout I did I could smell the clutch, it wasnt slipping but I think it was struggling to hold the power down good. I've got posi though, if you're only spinning a single tire it'll be a LOT easier.

I think street racing is only if 2 cars accelerate as fast as they can next to each other. He coulda prolly gotten u for improper start, and his exhaust warning was bs. I see so many cars around with all sorts of diff exhaust. We dont even have emissions testing in FL. I get stuck behind a car that's billowing smoke at least once a day, filling my cabin with noxious fumes that makes me wanna gag.

Where in CFL are you?

[240SXer]

With my Kumos i'd spin 2nd really hard, and third, it was fine in 4th

Right click... Save target as.. when you download the video..

Check that video out, listen to the spin, you can hear me spin really bad every time I shift, it's pretty funny.

[driftaholic]

i can chirp third. usually can't do it in the city though, need too much speed to do it between lights

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

HAHAH you were trying to burn out while holding the ebrake? Why do you think they put the clutch down to use the ebrake in drifting?

in RWD, you have power going to the rear wheels, none in the front. So, if your ebrake is in the back (hopefully you know this) it'll prevent you from spinning the wheels.

oh, and from the questions you ask, please tell me that is not you in you sig drifting.If you want to burnout wiht out holding any ebrake, get really really slick tires, or put 340 hp into your engine.

other than that, you'll have wimpy burnouts.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

lol, and chirping into 2nd, isn't that freaking easy? LOL it's not like its a big deal.

[240SXer]

Try chirping Nitto DRs.. That's not easy.

[bcar240]

I don't know about everyone else, but I do little mini-burnouts all the time by accident. usually in cinders or if theres dirt on the road or something, but I do it on clean asphalt too. nothing gets everyone looking at you like the sound of chirping rubber! I live on a gravel drive way and i can barely start moving without peeling out on the gravel.

[240Knightrider]

lol, and chirping into 2nd, isn't that freaking easy? LOL it's not like its a big deal.

I never said it was a big deal or some great accomplishment, just funny when others are amazed cause they cant do it.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

ahh ic hahaha

i read it wrong

[GEO]

my automatic chrips 2nd
