what types of semi slicks are out there?

So far i have seen the dunlop and yoko's, and the bridestones mentioned above sound ok. Whats the other options, since i am hunting for some too.  

thanks all

I use Toyo RA1, I like them. My 180SX runs 58.50 at QR on them and my GTR runs 59.4 on them and the Supra ran 60.6 on them on Saturday,[same 4 tyres on each car!] but the best part is they are CHEAP. They don't go off and all mushy like Azena's when overheated. But buy them in something like 16 inch, I use 245/50/16. Keeps rolling mass down.

i got DJ01 on and i can say these tyres are absolutely AWESOME i've driven all the other brands and nothing comes close. Also it's the tyre by choice to nearly the entire field at this year targa tasmania, how do i know? i was there!!!

I figured the SO-3's aren't a race/semi slick tyre, however if they offered comparable value to the RE540's (like lose 1-2 secs over sprint circuit but last another 15K), then I'd go for the SO-3's since they are cheaper in long run.

If the RE 540's are e.g. 5-10 secs faster over sprint circuit and last just as long as SO-3's (being careful with them on the road), then I'd go RE540's since they are also cheaper.

MR33 - I want a price for the 245/40 18 RE540's

hungry06 - Who makes DJ01 and how much are they for 235(245)/40 18's (preferrably 235s).

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
