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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
