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

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
