Going from a modded 1G turbo awd to a barely stock 2G NT fwd I thought id be finally getting my tires loose in 2nd, even with alot less power .. but NO. I think its odd why I cant even chirp 2nd gear at all, I know its slow as a dog, but why anyone?
 
I can just about always chirp second, all i gotta do is shift at 6K and CHIRP she goes :D

My mods help that somewhat, a stock N/T would have problems doing that.
 
Completely stock 96 n/t here. I can chirp tires at about 5k. Not much trouble, brand new clutch thou, migh help.

Could possibly be a transmission problem. I used to not be able to chirp second because the teeth on my second gear were bad.

Well I just got done replacing the trans fluid, and it doesnt seem to be silver color like the gears were grinded nor a hint noticed its just real dark from typical wear.

Only time I;ve actually chirp 2nd in my surprise was when i was during cornering at an intersection from flamingo rd. into The Strip here in Vegas 1-2 shift @5.5-6k rpms LOL

Probably from someone trying to show the whole world just how poor they are at manipulating a manual gearbox by "chirping" the tire.

This is a performance site.

Chirping has nothing to do with performance.

If you are keen to make barking chihuahua noises with a car, get one that doesn't have the weight of the entire driveline over the traction wheels. Or, start reading the Clutch Replacement and Transmission Rebuilding threads.
