Just hopping by this forum. Can't say I did it long, but I did it quite a few times. My handbrake didn't work at all so I would just come to a complete stop with plenty of space, turn the wheel all the way, and just floor it and hold it there, it would start smoking pretty good. Of course if you have a working handbrake, you can just go spill some water over your tires, or drive into a puddle and drive out of it, lock up the handbrake, and floor it. The tires should lose traction easily and you'll be sitting there burning away at your tires for as long as you want.
None of these methods are good for your car. I wouldn't do them if you need to keep the car for long. Especially on a car that is that old, something will give evantually. Your screwing up other things besides your tires, including your transmission. I did this stuff, because I'm young, it was my first car. Now with my "new" actually used car, I don't do that much stupid stuff. Guess I care for it more. I didn't really care that much about my maxima.

who get's 70 feet in a 2nd gen? I'm sorry but that sounds wrong unless you douced the wheels with a **** load of water.
At the same time....there are vw's that make more power than 5th and 6th gen!!!!!

lol I was thinking more of the lines of a passat w8, stock 
hehe the 2nd gen maybe slow, but remember, back in it's time, not much came even remotely close to what the maxima can do...a import sedan putting out over 152-160hp was mind blowing then....when emissions was killing any form of power. But I agree, a 70 foot burnout is way out of the question for these cars. I would have to see it to believe it.

Before I got my new tires I cranked the E brake as hard as possible, dumped the clutch at 5000 rpm and held it till redline, shifted to second, and held it at around 4500 for maybe a minute. Lemme tell ya, after a bit the smoke starts coming in the vents, windows, etc. Boy does it smell like crap! Choking, coughing, etc... Car smelled like rubber for days, and there was even rubber particles all on the inside of the mudflaps

i havent been around for that long but ive been around max's long enough to kno
first of all ive lit up the tires on damn near anythin and to get a 71ft burn out, out of a fwd. and u would need some power commin out of ur max to get that. ive driven quite a few max's and come spring im parkin my 240 and gettin yet my 3rd 2nd gen.
now my first 2 max's i beat the **** out of the cars cause i was younger and didnt understand the quality of the car.
and ive done damn near everythin in a maxima. my word on it. from drifting, reverse 180's BURNOUTS (not to mention on everyother forum in known as LiteEmUp_Prof) and the nasty tranny killin J-spin
i'll tell u this no way in hell 71 ft or 50 on dry pavement. not happenin.
50ft in rain i can believe it if ur car is in good shape. i alone have left 40ft marks WITH the use of oil on the ground. i have left prolly no more than id say 15-20ft marks no oil on flat dry pavement. when i first got the car. they length gradually decreases unless ur upkeep on the car is more than adequate.
sry for the long post and good to see all of u guys doin good with ur max's im lookin for my 3rd n final max and hope to get it come spring. see everyone soon
