Lesson on how to do a J turn

[Exclusivelibary]

ya wanna put it in neutral before you turn in an automatic to put less wear on the tranny

[KZWolf]

does this mess up the transmission? Im using Audi S6 Automatic.

[eduardoig17]

@KZWolf hell yea that fucks up ur trans. my friend messed his up doing pretty much the same thing

[mrLioneMafia]

automatic?

[MsLucasracing1995]

haha she had a helmet on 

[Xeron05]

@MsLucasracing1995 Think its a dude.

[CriTacticalDriver]

Sorry to burst your bubble friend, but you executed the maneuver very sloppy, hands all over the place, the car does not look perfectly aligned. You specifically and erroneously told you trainee (1:03) to use the back window and not the mirrors, when in fact is just the opposite. This technique can be performed flawlessly using only one hand while the other stays on the shifter in preparation for the next move (dropping it in D). Watch your (unstable) posture and the hand in top of the wheel.

Hey Buddy, your check engine light is on.

[Andrew88Morris]

@silvermediastudio if corse it is hes driving an alfa

[MHunt1000]

I was where the video was shot yesterday, doing exactly what he did!!!!

[MrBullya]

does the j turn do any damage to your car?

[NeufNeufUn]

@MrBullya in manuals no, in autos yes.

you're not suppose to change gears in an auto (gears in this sense park, neutral, drive, NOT 1/2/3/4) when you have ANYTHING above 1k revs. doing above 1k, going form neutral to drive like in the video, causes your half shaft to tear the spleens in the transmission. doing it to much can result in requiring a new transmission and new axles, among other things, like tire wear from being sideways.

[taylorferry7]

It's like a heart attack for a car.

[JTMies]

Sloooooooowwwwwwwwwww

[moham7ad]

your doing it wrong. your supposed to do a 1/4 spin on the steering the opposite way of the direction you want the nose to go, then crank the wheel the opposite way just like you showed here in the video. doing the 1/4 will help the car lose its balance so you can perform the maneuver in tighter places

[Engineer9736]

@moham7ad that's called an Scandinavian flick, it's not a real necessary thing to do, it just helps a bit loosing traction.

[moham7ad]

@Engineer9736 "doing the 1/4 will help the car lose its balance so you can perform the maneuver in tighter places" and a Scandinavian flick is not a j-turn. its what i described but going forward... a technique used in rallies to initiate a drift

[Engineer9736]

@moham7ad i didn't say a J-turn is the same as an scandanavian flick, i said it helps to do it. It's all about weight transfers. Steering 1/4 to the left transfers all the weight to the right, then you steer completely to the right which causes to slam all the weight to the left. This puts the traction of the wheels onto the limits. Once you remove your foot quickly from the trottle, the rear wheels will break hard enough on the engine to loose traction, and the rear will turn completely left.

[moham7ad]

@Engineer9736 i don't even know what we're arguing about... we're saying the same thing over and over again, lol

[23Belligerent]

It's fun in a standard!

[MrLowAltitude]

I wouldn't do it on tarmac with my car! Sure nothing will happen but it puts a lot of stress on the front suspension and wishbone bushings. And it's not very healthful for the transmission too...

If you don't want to wreck anything, try it on a snowy or slippery place. It's huge fun on snow, believe me!

[FelixH7]

that is so easy, go and try it! i'm serious

everybody can do it and nothing will go wrong ;) plus its fun!

[ViperVenomACR]

this car is an opel vectra well in this case a vauxhaul

[miloskujovic]

@ViperVenomACR Vectra A :D bi have one it's good for handbrake and fun at park lot too :)

[Hashpotato]

its an auto waste of time

[tudorgui1992]

what are the chances to flip the car?

[4everkilla]

@tudorgui1992 For you bout a 100% :p

[tudorgui1992]

@4everkilla oh really?:)) well, fyi i tried it and it worked.. i mean i didnt flip the car.. i wanted to know for sure that it can be done without flipping the car, cause it wouldn t have been nice to come home with the car wrecked

[StuntingSteamMcQueen]

Kinda sloppy. Way slow on the second one. Poor verbal instruction. Steering looked panicked and out of control. Unprofessional attitude. Looked like you were trying to impress the bird. I try to leave positive comments but this sucked. lol

[oranw]

yh golf wooohoo lol

[frostedflake753]

things you do with a rental car.

[SupportDavidsfarm]

i think its the 0:42 "nice"

[SupportDavidsfarm]

theres something annoying about this guy

[dannyboyinxs]

@SupportDavidsfarm I dunno, he actually made it easier to pick up than some of the other videos! ahaha then again, i actually like the english accent soo...

[alexthepalix]

Try double clutching it into 1st if your having trouble grabbing the gear.

[BourneJ1691]

you can shift it just fine without braking, but you have to shift to neutral the moment before you turn the wheel and then shift into drive at about 1/2-3/4 of the way through the turn. if you dont, you lose tons of speed and it can hurt the transmission. trust me, ive done this numerous times in automatic cars.

[ld309]

Definitely not an Omega. It's either a Vauxhall Cavalier or a Calibra... For the type of driving being done here, more likely the Calibra.

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

You only have to do that when coming out of Park I think. The manuals tell you to use the brake pedal but you don't *have* to in order to switch from reverse to manual - taxi drivers do it brakeless all the time.

[Dn2kproductions]

It looks like a vauxhall omega and they can take a hell of alot of terrorising hence why the police still use them.

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

It's not an Omega I can tell you that for sure, it's not got a Vauxhall steering wheel. Either a Skoda (unlikely) or an Alfa Romeo, I think.

[bakinblack1]

How the hell do you do that without braking coz it is auto right? Can't be good for the car :/

[Ohyewildthong]

No, seeing is this is in the UK odds are it's manual.

[Dn2kproductions]

its an auto lol

[robertmlock]

He says it is auto right at the start.

[billybobpeach]

@Ohyewildthong He says its an automatic

[KingofComputing]

you do it at the poing where the tires aren't turning much.

[jabareapc]

i threw my shoulder out doing this...lets just say a volvo s40's steering is a tad bit heavy to do this ;)

[jabareapc]

no, technically u CAN switch it w/out braking, but...not too good for the transmission. however, once or twice shouldnt hurt it too much

[GuitarmasterSK]

you can do it with a FWD, cant you?

[timk1764]

yup

[witegetobro]

aka the best way to fuck your transmission.

[emopope]

Ya I was thinking.. that car is going to be FUCKED up

[Jej171]

@witegetobro ya, you're right. but how fun it is is worth it,

[RealLiveProductions]

@witegetobro it could also save your life

[sweetlikeADAM]

@witegetobro No

[BoUrnNe26]

It is also called the bootlegger's turn. It was done all the time in the Dukes of Hazzard tv show.

[Mattarrowz]

handbrake turn

[Dawudosman]

i used to do that all the time, until the cops saw me and gave me a $150.00 ticket....

[leyland005]

dont give it the biggun .. :L

[blackhawk777]

i liked how he looked at the trainee when he did it.

[MicaiahM1989]

damn... I'm bored right now too. thats not good.

[insanetkd84]

can you do this with an automatic or do u have to have manual?

[mousek801]

Automatic works fine. Right as you crank the wheel one way or the other hit your gearshift into neutral and when your going forward hit it one more time into drive.

[insanetkd84]

thanks

[shelleyhaley]

awesome!! if u hear on the news that a silver vw attempted this and died...it's me!

[movieaddicted]

I find it easier to do in an automacic since you don't have to press the clutch, thus beeing faster and smoother!

[christ7272]

they are in an automatic in the video

[LifesaGardenDigit1]

Bloody good show,mate.

[1337ASM]

its fine u noob...

[guitaristwagner]

is it possible to tip your car over if your only doing 30-40 mph?

[cheesewaxed]

Not unless you are in an SUV. Or, if you hit something. Check the road carefully for rocks etc. before starting.

[localauctionsonline]

No you dont use brakes at all. Just reverse to drive and punch it when you do it. Feel the drift of it and go that way.

Feel free to check mine out, I tried to hit 60 doin it but was just a little shy and rear suspension was completly broke off.

[colinbrennan]

do u use da brakes or handbrake at all?

[disturbedproject]

just curious cant this fuck up your trans

[asprey92]

Nice1. sum day i will try that, and most likely fail!
