does anyone know how to do a good burn out in an auto max

 

spray the ground where you want to burn out. go over this wet spot and stop. lock up your e-brake. lay into the throttle until you get the desired burnout.

if you are talking about a rolling burnout, just do what i described above and disengage the ebrake and obviously keep foot on brake slightly so you don't get sling-shoted forward.

out of curiousity, as expensive as transmissions and tires are, why would you want to burnout in an auto Max?

many noobs around here of late.

 

Ive just seen people do it and I always wonderd how

 

1. engage e-brake
2. floor it
3. smile
4. disengage e-brake

 

cool thanks

 

I have a 2001 auto and dont think i can do a burnout just by puching on the gas...a chirp on occasions.

 

thats me too

 

trade for a 6-sp.

 

I want to or when my trans goes out switch over

 

Tires aren't cheap for these cars and your not doing your transmission any favor, especially if you do a burnout on a wet spot and then hit a dry spot.

 

In a newer (02 or 03) auto, from a dead stop, you simply turn off the traction control, put your foot to the floor and you will smoke the tire all the way to red line.

DAP however makes an excellent point and so I've only done this twice just to get my jollys.

Mr. P

 

you forgot #5: do it a couple more times. Then go buy new tires, since your tread will be gone.

 

...and #6 & #7 drive to Nissan and have new ebrake installed along with tranny swapped for new one, but nevermind all of that...

 

I have a 2000 Max Auto. I get the best burn outs when the tires are wet, no e-brake required.

When tires are not wet, if you pound the gas half way and then full way in a gap of like 3 seconds, the tires do peal.

Trust me, not a good idea to do. Killed my tires extremly fast and my tranny kinda jumps when it changes gears. Probobly mounts.

 

I use the recalled TL tires on my Maxima they fit right on so I tend to like to do big burnouts to get my car into diff magazines n shi.t- but I never send it in. I put my e-brake on, rev up to 2500RPM and slip out the clutch fast enough while reving up at the same time to 3200RPM and engulfing the car in smoke, then U shift into 2nd and smoke them I don't see how this is really all that hard on the car other than the tires ?

 

burnouts are over rated......neutral drops are where its at!

 

i hit a pretty sweet burnout today if i may say so myself. i have an auto but i was spinnin' em for a good 10 seconds before the car took off. ground was pretty wet and i only did it cuz im gettin new tires soon and there was quite a few attractive females who seemed impressed

 

i've only burnt my car out twice, but one time it was o so good, but i dont' recomment this method, i was stupid that night, so i tried it. Put the car in reverse, get goin pull speed in reverse, now throw it in to first and get one the gas, there was smoke everywhere, the whole cabin was filled wtih smoke anda ll the kids left where i had done it were coughing on the smoke it was great.

 

My auto can burn out as good as your 6-speed can.....

 

I end up doing minor burnouts when it's wet outside just because 1st gear has too much torque... I think I'm wearing down my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's faster than they should too

Freaking can't help it either... when I gotta pull out, I gotta pull out!

 

yea i do that all the time, but i don't consider it a burnout unless you see smoke

 

I'm with you!

 

Burn outs cost me axles, engine mounts, cvs and many tires on my previous car, but it was fun as beans.

Just neutral bomb it and look at it go.

 

If you want to see the best burnout ever, pour a little 5w30 on the tires, and light em up.

 

Some of that smoke was comming from your tranny :-)

 

Am I one of the few people who don't beat on their cars like this? I drive really fast, I race once in a while, but burnout?? NO WAY! I love my car waaay too much to do that.

 

yea that was when i first got it, it was a dumb move and i haven't done a burnout since my first month driving it

 

that was example #1 of why so many people here on the org have all kinds of strange **** breaking on their cars.....what is this, the Dukes of Hazzard?

 

Neutral drops?! There's no way in hell I'd ever do that to a car. When I had my boosted 200sx. I was doing burnouts and had a kid pull up next to me in his Accord. He decided to do a nice hard neutral drop. His car had to be towed away. They're EXTREMELY hard on trannies. For an even cooler effect get the car going about 40 and throw it in reverse

 

My friend keeps doing burnouts on his Mustang, but it's never failed on him in the 6 years he's owned it...also, mustangs being RWD, burnouts mustbe harder on their trannies ...ours are FWD...sohow can we kill our trannies?

 

You should rev your car in neutral and then slam it in reverse then mad drop it in low 1, that would be hot. Your tires would smoke and you would be super cool in front of all your boys, then your tranny would break and it would be phat yO. You would get mad props from your peeps and be King for the day till you have to pay for your tranny repair and then you would blame us. Now go read up on RWD vs FWD and you will get your questions answered....

 

He wants to do burnouts, didn't specify how.
