If i were you i'd buy Vu's... Slotted are really a waste of time and money unless your either pushing big power or circuit racing.... 33 gtst's have exceptional brakes for everyday/hills and even light circuit work :D

gettin vu's on friday :)

just need to get brakes and hubs now :D:D:(

well this is soprisingly conveinient haha! im in need of some 5 stud hubs for the rear of a R33 too haha!

does anyone know if you have to use GTST calipers with the 5 stud hubs or will the GTS calipers still fit up no probs?

no you could keep your old calipers why

1) why

2) why

3) you would need to re drill your 4 stud rotors to suit 5 stud (not a hard task)

yeah go slotted,

1 the rotors will be brand new

2 slotted ftmfw!

get steve to get you qfm pads aswell, worked sweet in my 33, so they will be more than enough for your 33 :)

what are the qfm pads like are they good ive always used ebc red stuff.?

cool might hit you up in a few weeks steve i will give em a go ive been using ebc red stuff for a year now great pads only down fall is dont use cheap brake fluid or it will boil real quick

the red stuff dont squeal when upto temp and it has a beding in compound on it too are the qfm similar to red stuff

i have No idea how they compare to the red stuff as i said mine squeal possibly due to a wrong bed in process

lol Mitch its ok power will be better when i get the rest of the most to make the turbo's full potential

no you could keep your old calipers why

1) why

2) why

3) you would need to re drill your 4 stud rotors to suit 5 stud (not a hard task)

or pick up a set of R32, S14, 15 rotors as they are all 5x114.3 by 280mm the same as the GTS, not sure about the thickness though, but as Steve said they aren't that hard to redrill and it would probably work out cheaper (through growly :wink: :wink: ).

I also agree with steves first two points;

WHY and WHY.

QFM are fine i have the K550's I'm not sure if i didn't bed them in properly but when up to temp they squeal a little

Same with mine... when they heat up they squeal ALOT.... its kind of annoying, not really the sound itself but more the fact everyone looks at ya thinking WTF lol

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
