i know this is pretty much a topic for another debate thread but.......... i've read multiple times from multiple different sources that doing a "burnout" on street tires is pointless. best thing to do is either avoid the water box all together so your tires don't get wet, or just do a quick spin (as opposed to a car enveloping smoke screen) to clean the tires off.

ok... debate!

Yes, avoid the water box on street tires! The water gets in the grooves of street tires and will only hurt your launch. With street tires, there is no point to do a big smokey burnout...a little spin to get any debris off the tires and you're good to go.

With drag radials/slicks, the water box is useful. It's lubrication to get the tires spinning for a purposeful big smokey burnout. These tires respond to higher temps, resulting in a better launch.

Tried burnout without using the brakes, worked everytime. VDC off, Blip throttle to about 3k, ease off clutch, mash accerator pedal. Easy mode

Yeah that's pretty easy. Unfortunately the car doesn't sit still for a long smokey one but whatever. How many sets of $300 a pop tires do you wanna burn through anyway in this economy right?

NewYorkJon34 · 04-21-2011, 06:11 PM

^ya no smokey burnouts which I learned can not be done unless that fuse is taken out. But at least I know the brakes are not needed. Better "burnouts" to come after I get the S/C

so my mechanic friend didn't believe me our 370's cant do a standing burnout without taking out the brake light fuse. he's like lemme show you how it's done. he tries twice and of course the brake kills the power. so he actually believes me and pops out the fuse and tries it after. smoke show ftw.

i wish there was a easy fix for this. cause there are times i want to have some fun on a straightaway but my tires normally arent warm enough so launching even at 1500rpm makes the car judder like a fwd. 'spinnin ain't winnin' unless u gettin slideways wo0 wo0

but is there a reason for why nissan decided to design the z so it can't do standing burnouts?

Their intention wasn't to kill burn-outs, it was to prevent run away cars. If the throttle pedal was giving a bad reading (a la Camry) then it would be easy to stop the unwanted acceleration by hitting the brake. You are going to see more and more cars with this feature.

Personally I don't see it as a problem as most of the times you would want to do a standing burnout would be in a safe place where you could pull the fuse. If you wanted to go crazy you could wire a switch inline with the fuse.

Correct. A simple relay with a toggle switch should do the trick!

It's not completely crazy....

I removed the stop lamp fuse, my brake lights went out, ABS and slip lights came on, but it still kills the throttle when I tap the brake??

RAMOS · 11-19-2015, 09:54 PM

Traction control off?

Crowtribe · 11-19-2015, 10:45 PM

Yep, I'm not sure what the deal is. Unless there is another fuse or something that needs to be pulled as well, I really don't think Nissan would have changed anything for the nismo

I have a '12 Nismo as well. That brake light fuse is the only thing between you and that burnout. Make sure you're pulling the right one.

I have the same issue with my 2014 Nismo...
Brake fuse being pulled doesn't work....still kills power to motor..I'm thinking a line lock is the only option Ryt now
