I don't know those tyres, but their FZ201 are good dry tyres at a comparably very good price. I've run both the softs and mediums and both were good, although the softs obviously are for short runs only. I found the mediums terrible in the wet though.

I did a search, found FZ201 are Federal. Found also that the FALKEN RT 615K are not strictly a semi slick but high performance buffed tyre suitable for the street and track.

Whilst UTQG isn't the be all/end all... They have a rating of 200.

So they are really just a high performance road tyre that let you run in the "street" classes for various events etc. Same as a AD08 / RS-3 (both of which are a better choice if going down that road).

It doesn't have a "K" on them anywhere, the Falkens have a 200 treadwear, the AD08s on my 32 have 180 treadwear and the difference between the RTs and AD08s is unbelievable, but what you pay for AD08s new you would be better off getting the Federals Duncan mentioned earlier

I looked at those Falkens when I bought my Federal RS-R's all the reviews pointed to the RS-R being a better tyre for the money, in my case with only 235 17s it was only $640 for a full set. The UTQG is 140 on them as opposed to 200 for the Falkens.

I can say of the RS-R's that new they are at least as quick as worn out RE55s on my car and they last longer than proper semis as they are a high performance road tyre rather than a genuine R comp. I've heard that they can struggle on heavier cars though and will over heat quickly, less of an issue for me.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
