You really think so? I found my 595's to be great. I was never lost for traction when I didn't want to be and they gave me some great launches on the skidpan. Just need to see the test of time now, but for 167 a corner, great value even if they only last 20,000km.

Its a matter of trying them and seeing how much better they are.

Sure for the money 595s are great, but if you want ultimate traction in a street tyre theres plenty of other options not too far from 595s pricewise.

I've had a second hand set of Conti SportsContact2s on the fronts for DECA and I was very happy with the way they performed.

If they were that good second hand, i'd like to see how they'd handle like when new.

I had the least understeer with these tires this DECA then any previous DECA i ran with different tires.

I'm running the same KU36's on the s14 as Rus and a big big fan of them.

def better than the 595 SS and the older RS.

that said I will be moving to the newer 595 rs-r when this set gone from those I spoke to def the tyres to run.

Me too, I ran 595's at the recent DECA and thought they were good for traction and with cornering.

What pressures are you running in yours?

Not sure what pressure, I haven't checked them since I had the tyres fitted to the wheels (couple weeks ago). Probably about time I gave them a pump :(

Admittedly I haven't tried the others you suggested but I've judged these ones against high end street tyres ($250+) that I've tested in the past and they came up pretty well IMO. At the same time my car is only producing 165rwkw so when I launch on boost I don't need a huge deal of grip to get moving.

Awesome Day!

So good to cut loose off public roads.

anyone know where we can find the footage from the legendary dude that was sticking the camera on the side of the cars?

also people having problems watching this:

OK Ladies!

Results are HERE

Great work from Russman taking out the win overall!

Also notable mentions for the little Lancer and MX5 getting right up there against the "big boys" :blink:

Other than that good work by all.

I Had a great day even though it was bloody hot standing out there on the long wang.

I will say though, its very interesting to see the difference between the fast and the slower times in the way people are comming into those stop gates.

I was on the long wang but I imagine that it goes for all the other gates during the day.

On that long wang finish, some of you guys could have knocked off sometimes up to 5 seconds I reckon if you just attacked the finish gate a little harder!!

In most cases that would have moved you up from mid-low field right up within in a couple of seconds or so of the front runners.

Somthing to keep in mind for next time :(

Also thanks to Tim, Shane, Mark & Russ for rides during the battles!!

Enjoy!

Looks like another great weekend. Shame Icouldn't be there. How was the after hours shenadigans?

I'll have to get the car down for at least 1 this year. Frysie, I hold you personally responsible if I don't get down there!

go Russman! and also well done to the Clive in the Lancer for taking out the highly contested "NA challenge"..

some of my times were slower in my second run compared to my first run... usually it's the other way round for me, something to improve on for next time I guess.

p.s. for Pat: Z32>R32, 3.0L>2.0L and NA is best :(

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
