So my MPH is all good but im struggling with wheel spin so my 60ft is lazy.

Im on the left hand of the lane on this slip.

The right hand lane had drag radials on but I dont want to go there.  What is a good street tyre could be a semi slick but I want to be able to run on the street/summer driving.

R32 GTR with Stock 16" wheels and hunting the 10 sec pass.

Thanks.

How many passes have you done?

Don't be surprised if seat time alone does the trick.

It looks not only the 60 is a bit off so is the 1/8.

Which points more to seat time, tyres won't help there.

This, R/T is a bit sluggish as well

Achilles 123S are a pretty decent street tyre, a GTSt I tune almost hit 11s with "only" 123mph trap speed and very gentle launches because he was having axle tramp issues - doesn't sound that great, but ~12.1 in a RWD Skyline on 18" street tyres isn't too shabby even before you consider it still had some traction in reserve if it weren't for the tramp.

On nankang ns2000 tyres, the really naaaaaaaaasty ones with my hillclimb alignment in the car still i went 1.6 to the 60, 7.4 to the 1/8th and 139.9 to the 1/[email protected]. You have a 10 in that. Get the alignment sorted, drop your tyre pressure to 26 and try again

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
