yeah i cant wait to hear reviews on the KU39 as im forever looking for that tyre that puts down decent power, doesnt need heaps of heat to work, nor sets sail in the wet- nor costs mad money like pirellis, contis or bridgestones etc as i do give them a hard time n chew them quickly

I liked the KU31 so a bit of an improvement on them would do the trick for the cost...

  • 4 weeks later...

I just got a set of nitto invo's they are great from cold they are extremely quiet and they put down my 450hp extremely well! They are amazing in the wet as well! Great all rounders but probably no good on the track

At the moment I've got 235/45/17 all round Kumho KU36 front Goodyear Eagle F1 back on my '96 R33 GTSt. They've only got about 1mm to the tread wear indicator so looking at some new ones. Just after some normal street tyres nothing too expensive got about 190Kw ATW.

These Nexen N6000 look pretty good value.

Thought of Achilles ATR Sport or Federal SS595 but from what I've read these are pretty crappy and the Nexen N6000 are much better.

The Kumhos are grippy but a little noisy. The Goodyears are very grippy and quiet. In the wet both good if you go easy on the throttle.

Drove my mates S15 recently wrapped in Federal 595 RSR, will have to say they grip better than his Falken RT615 Azensis tyres. Amazing grip for street use, I would imagine they would have excellent performance on the track too.

Nexen 3000's in 275 are farken awesome!!!!!

If you dont like traction and just wanna slide around like a retard on boost :woot:

fark that, Ling Longs or Triangle or Kenda are the way to go.. I went to skid pan years ago with kendas.. that was funny

Lol the Nexens light up but make no smoke :laugh:

I test this theory on private roads only :ph34r:

Has anyone used Federal 595-ss recently? I'm wondering what the new stock is like. I want to run them all round in 205/50r16 for Matsuri on 8" rims, does anyone have any of the fresh stock? It's been so long since i've run 595-ss I can't remember what the grip was like.

why not just get RSR's for a little bit extra? i havent heard much good about SS

I'm considering RS-R for the front.. It's for drifting, I was tempted by the 595-ss all around to try a 'balanced' approach instead of running a steer tyre with much more grip up front.

I couldn't afford RS-R all round.

not sure what you are hearing, or from whom sydking....but I run the 595SS on my stagea and they are an excellent daily tyre.

yes they are not a semi slick (like re55s) or even a semi semi slick like (595RS or KU36), but they are a very good price/performance compromise for daily use.

plenty of NSW club members are running the 595SS due to the very good prices through the club, I don't know anyone who thinks they are not good

Wonderful. The last time I used them was 3 years ago and I don't really remember what the grip was like for a performance perspective.

I think I will go with the 595-SS again, see how they go on the track. Should be an interesting change running a neutral / balanced tyre combo instead of my usual Advan AD07 front and second hand crap rears.

hmmm I did say for street use, right? for me the only tyres worth using on a track a proper semi slicks. everything else is just frustrating when you try and get the most out of the car. even the semi-semi slicks like 595RSR or KU36 really don't cut it on the track

I have 595SS on my car atm, in the dry they're great for what they are but in the wet they are horrendous. Even going around a tight roundabout in 2nd and a light poke of the throttle my R33 boat is like the titanic.

Mind you, I'm running 275 wide rears and the rubber was built late 2010 with 90% tread

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
