As a lot of you know, some of us ACT SAU'ers are BIG supporters of Federal tyres and I am always looking for someone to help promote the product...

Federal Tyres are a seriously under rated product that deserve a lot more exposure ---- Thats why I am STOKED to say that the father of drift and owner of Option magazine - Daijiro Inada has built his new project car and Federal 595 RS is his tyre of choice!

These photo's were taken recently at the 2007 SEMA show in Las Vegas and are out of a recent american tuning magazine, the video was at Tokyo Autosalon 2007.

For those who dont know who Daijiro Inada is... Google him and you will see, he is famous for bringing drift to the world scene along with the drift king Keichi Tsuchiya...

Daijiro also built the original Stream Z which you will know from Gran Turismo 4 - a high speed 350Z capable of over 400kmh...

ONLY THE BEST CHOOSE FEDERAL TYRES!!

Old War Torn has had a real relationship with that 350z, maybe hes found a tyre that wont delaminate?

- Delaminated the rears, spun car at 300 while down shifting in 2003

- Forgot to redline the car in 5th to 6th gearchange loosing time in 2004

- With a new WRX rear end to prevent cambering when the car squated in 2005, forgot instructions and ran off the end of a track in qualifying putting JUN boss Koyama-san in a kneck brace.

JUN and Top Secret built the car, not Daijiro if im not mistaken. He just keeps crashing it :ph34r:

Just another update on Federal Tyres...

The official launch of the new Federal 595RS - R was held in Taiwan recently... (See link)

http://www.driftworks.com/articles/Driftin...-Taiwan,32.html

This new development will be available in Australia soon (probably next year) and is a re-inforced, slightly softer version of the existing 595RS, which means that it will be better for circut racing and hillclimb as it will gather heat quicker, but it will still maintain the consistency and reliability of the 595RS that we know and trust.

For those who need a tyre for drifting it will be better aswell as the carcas construction is stronger meaning less flex in the casing... Note: if you plan on drifting on 595RS-R you will need to have some serious power at the wheels because it is a pretty sticky tyre :P

Attached are some piccies of some drifters from Taiwan and the USA testing the new tyre... Looks good when its smoking!

Enjoy.

Go Go Daijiro!

Last volume of option I watched had him driving in a D1 car with his head sticking out of the sunroof while the driver belted it around the track :whistling:

Back on topic, I guess I might have to look into a set of these federal doohickies once the rubber i've got at the moment don't stick no more.

I'm pretty impressed with the 595's. I actually feel safe to drive in the wet now...lol

I have not got them to lose traction at all yet.

Thanks, Mick!

We couldn't agree more, we have far better traction with the 595's in the wet than all other tyres we have here put together.

That just seemed like one of those dodgy late night commercials where people get payed to pretend they actually mean what they are saying :) jk

Ill try em out when the Toyos run out.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
