Take it back to the paint shop and get a performance based re spray

3000 RPM at 100km/h? I have never had a stall, but isnt that a bit high still? Probably the auto bow is fecked, so when your trying to spin them its revving but not kicking in ? I dont really know though, I havnt actually done a burnout before :| haha

No offence but it must be ur driving or technique. I got a n/a mf5 28spline locker. and she spins like crazy. Rear tyre sizes make a difference. 235 on 17s vs 205 on 15s Also do you have rear disc? Although if shes still only a single pegger all of the above shouldnt make a difference. Post a vid??

it revs at 3000rpm at 100kph, duno if thats normal, never driven a car with a stall b4. but i brake and accelterate, jump on n ogg brakes while still accelerting and it wont budge a bit, if someone jumps out n lifts rear, yes it will spin fine but by itself, nothing, itl do it in the rain sure but it wont in the dry, i no how to do a burnout, iv done plenty b4 in my n/a vx and vl, its just this is stupidly odd as to y it wont go. and i have ceptors with brand new tread, which shouldn make a diff

the trans is probably stuck in second..

Stalls to big for your power.

just vice grip the rear lines lol if that doesnt work, well match in the petrol tank is the only solution

get a manual

needs nos

pump the rear tyres to 45 psi. Yeah my mf5 na can spin second with a lsd :/

Like freeze said.. NOS! its the only way. and if that doesnt work like ekul said match in the petrol tank lolol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

gears work fine, its only a 2500 stall?? engine is stock vlt

Try this buddy Warm your car up check your oil in your transmission if there isnt oil top it up. If the car still not spinning when your trying to do a standyy, im guessing your transmission could be slipping. My s13 is auto and the thing used to slip and sometimes in drive i would rev it to 7500rpm and the thing will just roll like when you slap your car in drive and the thing moves very slowly with out steping on the gas good luck, its strange how a vl wont spin wheels lol my car used to be a ca18de auto 1.8L single pigger diff and spin! lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

get rid of the whale from your back seat the fat bitch is weighing you car down lol only joken its def your torque converter had this happen to me few years ago changed and it was fine

my n/a used to spin 235's... both... that was before the 3.9's
