Mate I don't think you can really compare the Direzza DZ101's to the RE55's.

If we're comparing road tyres, I'd put the DZ101's against Bridgestone S03's, and I'd still prefer the bridgestones because they're damn good tyres!

But if we're talking R compound semi-slick race tyres, I prefer the RE55's over Yokohama's or any other brand.

Please don't hide this away. I had terrible trouble finding the old thread last time I went looking.

It's cheaper for me to use your connections and ship them to sydney than it is to buy them here with a club discount from a club sponsor, let alone from any other shop up here.

It depends - but not ages.

Put it this way - I usually do say 10 track days a year and go a for a number of spirited drives but otherwise rarely use my car and I still go through 2 sets of these a year.

But without track days I'm guessing 10,000-15,000km's only.

I've had them for 1.5 track days and around 6,000 kms total road use.

I wouldn't expect them to last any more than 3,000 kms of road use plus a track day.

Oh and they're a very noisy, tramlining, irritating road tyre. If your car doesn't hit the track then I would spend a few more bucks and get a good road tyre (say ContiSport Contact 2s or Michelin Pilot Sports) that are simply awesome on the road and will last 30,000kms

thanks matt do you know how the compare against the dz101's

Sorry ot get off topic paul i don't know what rims size you hav but Dz101's in 225 50 16 and 235 or 245 35 r17 have been discontinued so this means the 16" version have dropped to $220 ish from $300 mark but if you go to a beaurepairs or anyone with big dunlop dealership you can get them for a good price :cheers:

but yest can't compare to re55's

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
