hey guys,

i just had a brand new set of toyo T1R 255 on rear and 235 fronts put on.

everyone seem to be saying they are grippy for street tyres.

i am slipping every time when i put the pedal down. even on 4th gear. the light on the dash keeps popping up... do i need to drive it for another few hundred kms b4 it will start to get grippy?

or do i need bigger tyres? 265 maybe?

my car does not have huge power. i do understand if the wheel spins on first n second but this goes straight to 4th gear.

shed some light please.

cheers!

dynoed the other day 280rwhp. tat why i am curious aswell. its not a huge power, but y the "SLIP" light keep popping up.

was driving on the freeway yesterday n when i drop to 3rd & 4th, pedal down it slips. every single time.

I dunno how you could be spinning in 3rd or 4th with 280rwhp mate. I have cheapy nangkang 245s on the arse of mine and it wouldn't spin even in 2nd. Stab the clutch yeah sure you get a bit but wouldn't 'spin'. That's with 270rwhp in a lighter car.

are you refering to the slip light on your tacho as in an Active LSD?

slip light on the top of the tacho.

the car is a r34 gtt and it comes with the tsc(traction control)

How stiff are your springs?! lol

I'd take a guess here and say your traction control may be playing up.. when the light comes on, can you actually feel the rear wheels spinning? or is the SLIP light coming on with no wheelspin? May be a fault. It's also possibly something to do with your ABS as the wheel speed sensors can affect the TCS.

Why don't you turn traction control off and see that your wheels won't spin....in any gear for that matter unless you clutch dump it or power over in a corner, especially with T1R's. Otherwise it's probably as stated already and your clutch could've seen better days.

edit: added info

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
