Because I joined G35driver.com long ago, way before there was even a G37, and since I am a Premium Member at G35driver.com which is part of this website, I have some rights which transfer over... I will upgrade my membership on this side someday; I had just renewed my premium membership to G35driver.com before Hurricane IKE came and took my G35 coupe with it.

VDC off, Put in Sport Mode, Rev to about 1500rpm and let go of brake. Just remember that you are wearing you rotors when doing this. But, like someone else said, you only live once. No point in owning this awesome car if you are not going to drive it to its full potential. Why watch videos when you can do it yourself?.........Otherwise, get linelocks.

The G35 has never been able to do a burn out at all since it came out. Neither has the Z car. VDC never fully disables itself. When you try to hold the car in place the ABS tries to stop the rear tires because the front is not spinning. The only way to successfully do it, is to pull the fuse to the vdc/rear brake lights and this will allow a full burn out.

Just because you have a 5AT doesnt mean you cant do burnouts, drift, donuts. It just takes more skill and practice. Extra parts help too.
Also, I drove a G35 as a loaner car when I was getting a oil change and I hated it. IT felt to light and I broke traction everytime I accelerated from a stop. BOOOO!! It would be easier to do a burnout in a G35 5AT then in our G37S 5AT.

A burn out is defined as spinning the wheels by dumping the clutch or mashing on the gas as hard as you can, to create smoke. This will not harm your rotors.
A brake stand is similar, but in the sense the driver will place their clutch foot on the brake pedal and their other foot on the gas pedal to spin the wheels and keep the vehicle in place. This will harm your rotors in the rear. The only reason this would be needed to be done is to heat up an R compound race tire to gain maximum traction. Using this on a street radial will only make them greasier and result in less performance and traction.

Sorry but you are incorrect. All G35s can not do a burnout without pulling the fuse. Even the 6mt can not. You can not sit there drop the clutch in a 6mt and get on the brake while spinning the back tires or the engine will die. The ABS kicks in. Video above proves it. Treys 6mt had the fuse pulled and it's a 6mt.
You can launch the car and spin the tires like mad in a 6mt or a auto as long as the brake is not touched and TCS and VDC are off but you will be moving forward.

I own a G37s now so what are you defending!
I've probably forgotten more about modding and racing Nissan's than you may ever know so I am sitting here laughing now...
Go back an think of your next come back...
Brake torquing wears auto transmissions, these cars were built to launch with little or no wheel spin... Just use common sense; it's a trade off if you do it!

I had my G35 6MT for 92K miles and all you do is gas an let the clutch out anywhere over 3000, the wheels will spin, and if you held mine to the floor it would continue to spin all through 1st. and then for a very long way in second, then again in 3rd. (of course you have VDC off, that is called a NO BRAINER!).
You don't need to get on the brake; what for, its not an automatic???
