OK friends, to prove how much these guys want these tyres gone, for every person that buys 2 or more tyres, your name will be entered into a raffle between all the other purchases from this GB ONLY, so VERY good chances of winning!

The prizes are as follows:

A Federal Motorsports Jacket worth $80!

And a Federal Motorsports Cap worth another $20!

Raffle will be drawn at the end of June.

And to those people that have already purchased tyres don't worry, your names are already in the raffle ;)

Remember, you WILL NOT find BRAND NEW, UN-USED SEMI SLICKS straight from the supplier to your door for this price for a VERY long time to come, if ever!

Anyone know what these are like as a daily driver on the road and also if they are suitable for the drags?

I drive my Skyline every day and at the moment I am running Federal 595RS-Rs (the successor of the 595RS semi) on the street. With the recent rain here I can honestly say that they are much the same as a street tyre when it comes to the wet, if not slightly better. :ninja:

dooooof. 265/35/18's

caarn man, you can do it

You're right, I can... FOR CLUB MEMBERS ONLY TONY! :rofl2:

when I've joined your club lol you got these in stock... 255/35/R18?? want 4 <<<do i get 2 raffle tickets :D

Yeah they will be in stock, but they won't be this price, and no, no raffle tickets... well, I might be able to squeeze you in :sick:

i gotta say this is damn cheap for a damn good tyre! Ive had these on my car for 6months now and they are among some of the best tyres ive driven on wet and dry!

Ive never had this much confidence in any car in the wet before

What would be the best for 17x8 for front and 17X9, not looking for super low profile.

Ideal fitment would be 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear if you are after maximum traction, but you can vary anywhere between 215 - 235 on the front and 225 - 255 on the rear safely (depending on the tyre)...

It depends on what type of driving you are planning on doing.

i put the 235/45's on my 17x8's. whats the ideal hot temp for these? i was trying to keep em around 40psi on the track as i wasnt sure how

hard the sidewall on these are?

what would it be for 2 255/40R17 and 2 235/40R17 posted to QLD sunshine coast

It would be $420 as we are not offering 255s, only the 235s are available.

:sick:

Ideal track pressures would be about 34 - 36psi cold as they will pick up around 6 - 8 psi when hot... I have found that ideal temp for track use is between 60 - 80 degrees on the tread face.

The sidewalls in the 595RS are fairly strong but when used on the track they can fold under a bit, keep checking the sidewalls for signs of wear and adjust your pressures to suit. :sick:

OK fellas, as was promised, the prize draw for the jacket and hat has been done, and the winner is...

*DRUM ROLL*

ssxRicho!

A PM has been sent for an address and what size jacket you want :sick: Congrats!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
