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.

oh derr im a retard i didnt realise the Re55s were like semi clicks. my bad sorry i thought they were one of the sports range tyres. jeez i feel like a retard haha

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

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
