Hey guys, I have an 03 Lemans orange 350z and was wondering if I can burn out being automatic. Its time for new tires anyway. I would appreciate it if someone can help.
If you wedge a stick of butter between the road and the front of the rear tires, and then jump in the car and floor it - i'll bet you break 'em loose. Then, you can throw some unpopped popcorn on the hot buttery road and have a poppin-fresh snack. On that note, I'm kinda hungry...I'll be right back. I hope I still have some popcorn kernels...

yordi2217 NO problem spinning the rears. Even with the AC on. No fancy pedals are required if your Z is performing up to it's normal capabilitys. Just turn OFF the traction control so the computer doesn't kill the power when the tires start to slip. I recently bought new tires (Nitto Neo Gens) for better traction which they do provide. BUT... Floor my 03 and the tires spin like crazy. Somtimes the rear will drift right or left depending on the street surface so I don't drive like this very often but heck, it's hard to always drive conservative and I didn't buy the Z to just hang back with the pack in traffic so GO FOR IT!!! Just not to often or you'll need new tires every 6 months. :D
if your tires spin like crazy they're not providing much traction. i had some nitto 555s for a short time and hated them. no traction at all. i spun through a few intersections on wet roads.
Conversely, I had some soft Kumho Ecstas that would never break loose, even under WOT through first gear. But they wore out very quickly (ie. too soft).

I'm glad I'm out so I feel less pain over posts like this, although it would still tear me up if I discovered my old Z was being subjected to this nonsense. Maybe it is - I hope not.
Perhaps it's time for a moment of silence for yordi's poor, unfortunate, innocent car.
