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.

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!

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 :(

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
