Need help with burnout on 5speed....with Nitto's

2003gt · Aug 6, 2004

i just got my nitto 555r's on, 315/35/17.......

i went somewhere deserted to break them in and get used to launching, but when i go to do the burnout.....i can't get the rear "left" tire to break loose.....

i rev up, pop the clutch and hold the break.....the right one takes off, but i can't get the left one going.....

any suggestions would be appreciated......

thanks

you might be having some issues with the rear end, more so that technique. sounds to me like some clutches are worn in the rear end

Why are you doing burnouts in your new DRs?

heat cycling

2003gt · Aug 6, 2004

getting them warmed and sticky.....learning for the track.....i don't think my clutch is going bad.......still shifts right.....but stock rear end.....i have plenty of HP and Tq to get them spinning......

scalder · Aug 6, 2004

That's EXACTLY what my car was doing at the track right before I launched and snapped a 28.....BUILD THE ARSE END NOW!

2003gt · Aug 6, 2004

what do you suggest for building the rear

70stangcoupe · Aug 6, 2004

Yeah, it's gotta be a rear end issue.

Moser 31 spline axles and 4.10 gear?

2003gt · Aug 6, 2004

na...no 4.10 for my daily driver.....maybe 3.73.......

how much do those kinda axels run ?

i watched a guy destroy his stock rear end doing burnouts on DR's and his car did exactly what you say yours is doing before it went. i agree with scalder, build the damn thing up ASAP if you are going to keep doing that.

no, no, no.....the clutches in your rear end, not your actual clutch. it sounds like they are about shot

Agreed..that was the last thing mine ever did before it went snap. Your next launch could be your last. It's pretty much agreed that it's luck of the draw w the stock rear...some people haven't had any issues after hundreds of passes...then, there's me on my 3rd pass ever w the car and boom! Get an Eaton, DL or Auburn Pro...some 31 spline axles and you will probably be okay for a while.....OR JUST SPOOL IT!

2003gt · Aug 6, 2004

now, when it says 8.8 33 spline.......190 each....do you need 2 i'm assuming......and what actually to these do.....i'm out of my element here

2003gt · Aug 6, 2004

are you guys talking about just buying new rear axels.....or what ????

Well, you will need new axles....31/33 spline...Moser, Strange...your choice...PLUS you will need to get a new differential....Eaton, Auburn....once again your choice..

While you are back there get a girdle and weld up the axles and torque boxes too!

It sounds like you broke your posi. Right tire fire is hilarious! I would suggest building the rear up before you break it and need a tow.

Hey 2003gt, this happened to me...and a tow from the track that's 40 miles away from home ain't cheap....plus peace of mind is worth a lot!

Actualy, I have a 2003 GT as well.. Everytime I go to do a burn out I only leave 1 tire mark.... The left one never puts anything down, Ive had the car for 2 months... It's brand spaking new and I'm only at 5000KM's
