I can't get traction in first unless it is warm out

What rpm are you coing out of? And what are the weather conditions?

The tires are summer tires on the Nismo, And aren't that great in cold temps.

Most others opt to change to a winter set to avoid the issues the summer tires have.

How high do you rev and do you drop the clutch?

I'm not even talking about launching. Just mashing the gas pedal

Literally any RPM in first gear - the tires spin once I hit the gas pedal. This is at any temp below 50 degrees farenhiet (just estimating)
