I was at my friends house on Sat and he was telling me about this video of a first gen doing a three minute burnout...OMG that was awsome. I don't know if it's been posted here before, and since I have only a 2nd and 3rd I never come here. If it was I'm sorry, but I couldn't find anything on it when I looked.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about one of the videos from 3rotor.com

 

yeah that is the one! It is amazing!!!!! I was rolling on the floor after I watched it!!!!!

 

Its awsome. The fact that the crowd goes wild when the engine blows makes it even better.

 

I don't know, but I think the point of doing that burn out was to make the engine blow up. A lot of throttling+high rpm with no speed tends to overheat the oil quickly and not long after a engine failure. Yeap, I loved that video, I have it downloaded. Wonder what mod's he had?

 

I have had the video a while and was wondering why the engine made the load buzzing sound right before it blew. What happened?

 

Too good! It's even the same color as mine



The buzz sounds like to be the fan eating the radiator...

What is the lump on his hood? Is it stock, and if so, what is its function?

Curious minds wanna know.

 

That's f*ckin' sweet!!!!!!!!!

 

Obviously you have just set your eyes on it for the first time.

 

Bjurr, can you post the video in the downloads section of the forum? I clicked the link but it says "page cannot be displayed"

 

hahaha that was the greatest thing i've ever seen!!
his hood just popped off!!! hahaha
pooor seven

 

he must have had some sort of rev limiter in that or something?

 

sure he had a rev limiter - the engine itself *L*

The hood bulge looks like an air intake.

 

That is a great video....I'm about to show it to my friend for the first time. I'll post his reaction.

 

You can hear the buzz for a second, then it goes away, then comes back solidly and poof.

 

The engine doesn't blow, the clutch does

 

Yeah, like peejay said lol. Rotaries dont explode like that, but their clutches sure can. That guy is lucky he still has legs.

 

That's one of the best 1st gen vids I've seen. Except for that commercial from like 1980 about the sports car with a 0-60 of 6.2 seconds!

 

you want funny - look for the datsun black gold commercial. ROOFLES!

 

That video is CRAZY!!! I'm surprised that the seals lasted that long!

 

killing rotaries is fun ...

 

Hey peejay... no-one gets it lol.

 

I think the hood popping up at the end is the finale. I bet this guy planned this for a long time to win the burnout contest, but I for one dont think the motor blew. I think what you heard was the air intake sound with the hood up at the end

And he definately had line locks on that 1
