I figured since I posted right after him and my points hit on his points in his post that people would understand I was talking about kyles post. Obviously you are no rocket scientest. Sorry for the "attitude" but when you make a post that seems to look down at me I'm not going to be polite in a reply.

Apez spin is turning the wheel to the lock, left or right, and doing a burn out. The car will spin in a circle which it spins on the apex of the car. Generally that apex is dead center. So instead of standing still and roasting the tires the car spins like a top while roasting the tires.

If i got it wrong someone pipe up.

Ha! Sorry man. No water on those tires. I always pulled around and backed up to give myself enough room to do that.

That's with a welded center diff by the way which makes it even harder to do.

i have seen plenty
gt-r32,gt-r33,gt-r34 skylines do burnouts before they go down the track

realize the braking system isnt 50/50 per front back
theyre usually 80/20 or higher/lower

so (guessing) dump clutch, slam brake pedal and hold it to the floor, while flooring it--and the rear should break free more than the front and burn rear tires
