what types of semi slicks are out there?

So far i have seen the dunlop and yoko's, and the bridestones mentioned above sound ok. Whats the other options, since i am hunting for some too.  

thanks all

I use Toyo RA1, I like them. My 180SX runs 58.50 at QR on them and my GTR runs 59.4 on them and the Supra ran 60.6 on them on Saturday,[same 4 tyres on each car!] but the best part is they are CHEAP. They don't go off and all mushy like Azena's when overheated. But buy them in something like 16 inch, I use 245/50/16. Keeps rolling mass down.

i got DJ01 on and i can say these tyres are absolutely AWESOME i've driven all the other brands and nothing comes close. Also it's the tyre by choice to nearly the entire field at this year targa tasmania, how do i know? i was there!!!

I figured the SO-3's aren't a race/semi slick tyre, however if they offered comparable value to the RE540's (like lose 1-2 secs over sprint circuit but last another 15K), then I'd go for the SO-3's since they are cheaper in long run.

If the RE 540's are e.g. 5-10 secs faster over sprint circuit and last just as long as SO-3's (being careful with them on the road), then I'd go RE540's since they are also cheaper.

MR33 - I want a price for the 245/40 18 RE540's

hungry06 - Who makes DJ01 and how much are they for 235(245)/40 18's (preferrably 235s).

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
