As a lot of you know, some of us ACT SAU'ers are BIG supporters of Federal tyres and I am always looking for someone to help promote the product...

Federal Tyres are a seriously under rated product that deserve a lot more exposure ---- Thats why I am STOKED to say that the father of drift and owner of Option magazine - Daijiro Inada has built his new project car and Federal 595 RS is his tyre of choice!

These photo's were taken recently at the 2007 SEMA show in Las Vegas and are out of a recent american tuning magazine, the video was at Tokyo Autosalon 2007.

For those who dont know who Daijiro Inada is... Google him and you will see, he is famous for bringing drift to the world scene along with the drift king Keichi Tsuchiya...

Daijiro also built the original Stream Z which you will know from Gran Turismo 4 - a high speed 350Z capable of over 400kmh...

ONLY THE BEST CHOOSE FEDERAL TYRES!!

Old War Torn has had a real relationship with that 350z, maybe hes found a tyre that wont delaminate?

- Delaminated the rears, spun car at 300 while down shifting in 2003

- Forgot to redline the car in 5th to 6th gearchange loosing time in 2004

- With a new WRX rear end to prevent cambering when the car squated in 2005, forgot instructions and ran off the end of a track in qualifying putting JUN boss Koyama-san in a kneck brace.

JUN and Top Secret built the car, not Daijiro if im not mistaken. He just keeps crashing it :ph34r:

Just another update on Federal Tyres...

The official launch of the new Federal 595RS - R was held in Taiwan recently... (See link)

http://www.driftworks.com/articles/Driftin...-Taiwan,32.html

This new development will be available in Australia soon (probably next year) and is a re-inforced, slightly softer version of the existing 595RS, which means that it will be better for circut racing and hillclimb as it will gather heat quicker, but it will still maintain the consistency and reliability of the 595RS that we know and trust.

For those who need a tyre for drifting it will be better aswell as the carcas construction is stronger meaning less flex in the casing... Note: if you plan on drifting on 595RS-R you will need to have some serious power at the wheels because it is a pretty sticky tyre :P

Attached are some piccies of some drifters from Taiwan and the USA testing the new tyre... Looks good when its smoking!

Enjoy.

Go Go Daijiro!

Last volume of option I watched had him driving in a D1 car with his head sticking out of the sunroof while the driver belted it around the track :whistling:

Back on topic, I guess I might have to look into a set of these federal doohickies once the rubber i've got at the moment don't stick no more.

I'm pretty impressed with the 595's. I actually feel safe to drive in the wet now...lol

I have not got them to lose traction at all yet.

Thanks, Mick!

We couldn't agree more, we have far better traction with the 595's in the wet than all other tyres we have here put together.

That just seemed like one of those dodgy late night commercials where people get payed to pretend they actually mean what they are saying :) jk

Ill try em out when the Toyos run out.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect
