You really think so? I found my 595's to be great. I was never lost for traction when I didn't want to be and they gave me some great launches on the skidpan. Just need to see the test of time now, but for 167 a corner, great value even if they only last 20,000km.

Its a matter of trying them and seeing how much better they are.

Sure for the money 595s are great, but if you want ultimate traction in a street tyre theres plenty of other options not too far from 595s pricewise.

I've had a second hand set of Conti SportsContact2s on the fronts for DECA and I was very happy with the way they performed.

If they were that good second hand, i'd like to see how they'd handle like when new.

I had the least understeer with these tires this DECA then any previous DECA i ran with different tires.

I'm running the same KU36's on the s14 as Rus and a big big fan of them.

def better than the 595 SS and the older RS.

that said I will be moving to the newer 595 rs-r when this set gone from those I spoke to def the tyres to run.

Me too, I ran 595's at the recent DECA and thought they were good for traction and with cornering.

What pressures are you running in yours?

Not sure what pressure, I haven't checked them since I had the tyres fitted to the wheels (couple weeks ago). Probably about time I gave them a pump :(

Admittedly I haven't tried the others you suggested but I've judged these ones against high end street tyres ($250+) that I've tested in the past and they came up pretty well IMO. At the same time my car is only producing 165rwkw so when I launch on boost I don't need a huge deal of grip to get moving.

Awesome Day!

So good to cut loose off public roads.

anyone know where we can find the footage from the legendary dude that was sticking the camera on the side of the cars?

also people having problems watching this:

'I have put up some in-car videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/tekjim#p/u'

OK Ladies!

Results are HERE

Great work from Russman taking out the win overall!

Also notable mentions for the little Lancer and MX5 getting right up there against the "big boys" :blink:

Other than that good work by all.

I Had a great day even though it was bloody hot standing out there on the long wang.

I will say though, its very interesting to see the difference between the fast and the slower times in the way people are comming into those stop gates.

I was on the long wang but I imagine that it goes for all the other gates during the day.

On that long wang finish, some of you guys could have knocked off sometimes up to 5 seconds I reckon if you just attacked the finish gate a little harder!!

In most cases that would have moved you up from mid-low field right up within in a couple of seconds or so of the front runners.

Somthing to keep in mind for next time :(

Also thanks to Tim, Shane, Mark & Russ for rides during the battles!!

Enjoy!

Looks like another great weekend. Shame Icouldn't be there. How was the after hours shenadigans?

I'll have to get the car down for at least 1 this year. Frysie, I hold you personally responsible if I don't get down there!

go Russman! and also well done to the Clive in the Lancer for taking out the highly contested "NA challenge"..

some of my times were slower in my second run compared to my first run... usually it's the other way round for me, something to improve on for next time I guess.

p.s. for Pat: Z32>R32, 3.0L>2.0L and NA is best :(

    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
    • Yeah, the plan is to just put some black rubber vacuum line caps over them to "hide" them a bit I don't want to trim them in cause I need to put the OEM box back on at some stage
