For what i was quoted a tyre... LoL Nope, Goodyears it is.

Goodyear what?

If youre comparing the 595RS-R to the Goodyear Eagle F1 then youre making the wrong comparison...

Eagle F1 = Street tyre, comparable to the regular 595, not the 595RS-R which is a street legal semi slick track tyre.

If you compare the 595RS-R to something like a Falken RT-615 or a Toyo R888 you will notice that it isnt expensive at all.

Just to bring some life back in the thread.

The latest Motor magazine has a comparo with the Federal Evo's and Federal 595RS-Rs.

They don't perferm the best being 5-20% off the pace of comparable tyres tested, but they retail for 40-60% less. Get the mag and have a read.

Maybe we should offer them a skyline to test the tyres on next time instead of a shitty hatch.

Sorry about the late replies to any PM's... I have just arrived back in Oz from my trip to SEMA in Las Vegas and I have nearly 30 PM's to reply to... I will get around to replying to all of them soon.

Thanks for your patience :blink:

    • My crystal ball says that when they replaced the pads, they didn't replace all of the brake hardware (could be a missing shim, pin, spring, etc).  Finding a low dust pad should be very easy. Have a google for things like, low dust / soft pad compound / easy on rotors. Your dust primarily comes from the rotors getting eaten up by the pads. 
    • I think old mate is going to continue to hold out for awhile at that price
    • OBD1 is a catch-all term for pre-OBD2 which could have basically any connector design and protocol. I really don't understand this attitude against using data logging for issues that can be multi-causal and subtle. A no-start situation or something like that sure the scan tool does nothing but if it runs like shit it can often be a sensor issue. When a friend of mine reliably had issues with his N54 not able to stay running eventually I narrowed down the issue to a faulty fuel pressure sensor. Only way I could do that was a scan tool to look at the fuel rail pressure and see shadow codes for fuel pressure. Then check against a pressure gauge. Is reflexively firing up the data logger probably a bad habit? I guess, it can encourage people to not listen/observe but on these old OBD1 cars just taking a log really doesn't do anything by itself. You still have to synthesize everything you know and think about what it all means.

    • Yeah saw that video on YouTube. But he got a R grade (repaired) high mileage model and proudly advertised the fact it was super cheap and no doubt with issues. I wouldn't be going the cheap and nasty route.
