How Do I Launch An Automatic?

[kelumzi]

Automatic skylines owners, how do I launch? Hold the brake to a certain rev, then release the brake..?

I'm asking this because I almost lost to a maunel civic hatchback... a honda ffs cheers~!

[Murry33]

best way to launch it is practice!

[Modena]

Over drive OFF, power button ON.

Step on the break, rev up to about 2000-2,500 REVs.

Let go off the break and step on it.

For a stock converter practice with various revs between 2000-2600rpm, & also don't rev till the last few seconds otherwise trans temps will soar faster than you can say 'V-TEC power yo!'.

Yeah... also don't do this shit on every set of lights lol (I mean at the track)

I have an Automatic... I chosen it as a preference as Auto's launch just as good as Manual if you know how... and in a straight line (with good mods), Autos will beat Manuals...

HEre's what you do...

OVER DRIVE OFF, POWER BUTTOM PRESSSED, MAke sure you are running High Octane fuel (I personally like BP'S ULTIMATE)... Put it on DRIVE... Hold the BRAKE... REV TO AROUND 3,000 RPM's... LEt go of the BRAKE, step on it until around 4,000 RPM's and then pull it back to 2nd Gear to maintain the REV's at around 5-6,000 RPM's... then you just hold on it and pull it back just before you redline it... this is pushing the car to it's full potential.. most races are quater mile... do the above right and you will OWN....

thanks guys. been meaning to ask this question but keep forgetting that i wanna know. is it possible to do a standstill burnout in an auto as well?

[dilmah]

I've always wondered about that... how does a burnout work in a AWD car such as the GT-R? Is it even possible without wreaking the ATTESA and seriously heating up the oils in the diffs/clutches?

[DECIM8]

get a auto shift kit too .. will enhance changes if you running tip tronic

[TurboX]

If you are going to push your auto at the lights by holding high revs on the brakes, you should first fit a auto trans cooler because you will be generating a lot of heat which is the best way to kill an auto trans. A few hundred insurance against a few thousand for repairs.

I've always wondered too how the Autos do it, as I'm in a manual I dont get it.

If you put it in DRIVE and rev to 3000 and hold the brake, wouldnt that just make the car do a burnout while at a standstill?

Then if you let go of the brake you'll just get wheelspin and take off?

it just sucks when you dont have boost until like 4000rpm...

high stall converter will be my friend i think!! haha

If you dont rev over 2500 revs the car just barely creeps forward. Hence why in the auto revving around 2000 rpm is the best.

When you let go off the brakes, you will hit boost much quicker (3500 revs) hence a better take off. At the end of the day if you have good tyres, there wont be a big burnout... however this all depends on like I said tyres and how much power you run.

My car is stock btw.

Keep that up and u will destroy ur transmission in no time.

Fully depress the break, then fully depress the accelerator and u will start spinning the wheels (or maybe 1 if u have a worn out lsd . Back off before u change gears or this will stop the burnout.

if its a 33 i use to use the snow button so it stalls up and launches in 2nd i found that the best way.

personally I just dont bother. If you *must* be fulli sik get one of thoes awd -> 2wd switch's that go's in the fuse box, if you have a 32, or dont bother, if you have a 33 - 34

Use the handbrake.
