lcy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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!

eddieeeee-ro Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 how much power have u got? seems strange to wheel spin in 4th in the dry. i recommend yokohama a-drive R1s for grip!

MR 33 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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.

mattymagoo22 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 are you refering to the slip light on your tacho as in an Active LSD? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207483-wheel-spin-even-on-4th-gear/#findComment-3670982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcy Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 tat was what i reckon is causing the problem. but is the tsc( traction control) and the clutch related to each other??

lcy Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) 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) Edited February 24, 2008 by lcy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207483-wheel-spin-even-on-4th-gear/#findComment-3670993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
STATUS Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 there is no way you are spinning 4th. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207483-wheel-spin-even-on-4th-gear/#findComment-3671005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downforce Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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.

GTR-32U Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 mate to be spinning like that in 4th you would need to be making 600hp+....The amount of power you say you have wouldnt even come close....has to be something else...clutch maybe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207483-wheel-spin-even-on-4th-gear/#findComment-3672358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECIM8 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 +1 for clutch .. Slipping on the clutch = tcs light.. If youve still got a stock clutch may be the answer.

OFENSV Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 how does a slipping clutch activate the traction control? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207483-wheel-spin-even-on-4th-gear/#findComment-3672425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon-S14 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 im guessing that the sensor sees the rev's rise but the road speed remain the same, and predicts that it is wheel spin.

RBwhatever Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited February 25, 2008 by KeyMaker Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207483-wheel-spin-even-on-4th-gear/#findComment-3673221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trust33 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 id say its the clutch or a glitch. ive driven the maiden model 6.0lss and the traction symbol comes on on takeoff and im not even trying to launch it <.< as said u cant be having traction isues in 4th with 280rwhp.
