Juggalo Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 So my son has bought an early 350Z after being impressed with mine. However, he intends to strip, lightly mod and track it. We drove down to his storage yard, and he tried to do a burnout, but couldn't. The power just drops, and a smell of clutch even with the TC off. I had a go in it and the clutch is very good. Bites where it should, etc. Any idea what could be the cause? I won't even think of doing it in mine, so I can't even suggest if this is an issue with his particular car or if it's a safety feature.

nowhereboy Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 From what I gather the limited slip diff kinda makes it hard to do burnouts. Welded diff seems to make it easier. (I might be wrong on this), burnouts ain't my thing, I like my tyres too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 If you can smell clutch then the clutch is slipping, there's your answer to where the power is going I had 305 wide tyres, combined with grippy tarmac it meant zero wheel spin no matter what I did, it still wouldn't slip the stock clutch. I guess it would it you revved the absolute tits out of it and dumped with no where else for the power to go... But why would you do that.

Richf Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The 370z shuts the throttles if you try and do a burnout when holding the brake pedal its a function of the abs , if you pull the abs fuse it will do one just fine , dunno if the 350 is the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Cheers guys The 370z shuts the throttles if you try and do a burnout when holding the brake pedal its a function of the abs , if you pull the abs fuse it will do one just fine , dunno if the 350 is the same I've passed it along, He's going to look into that. That sounds similar to what's happening to his Zed. Disabling the ABS doesn't sound to clever to me in these things though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colesl4w Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Make sure the clutch is being dumped as fast as you can. If you come off too slow it will heat up too much and slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djtimo Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Need to pull brake fuse to do burn outs. Brake pedal being pressed limits the drive by wire throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
