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

[bezender]

but seriously......

slotted look fkn cool

gettin vu's on friday

just need to get brakes and hubs now

[Jack88]

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?

[Damo_R34]

ahh he finally goes 5 stud Well if any of you 5 stud kids want rims, i got some for sale

[bezender]

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)

[R334door(s2)]

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.?

[Madaz]

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

[R334door(s2)]

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

[DamageInc]

cheers for the help and the parts steve !

your car has good power !

[Madaz]

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

[D_Stirls]

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: ).

I also agree with steves first two points;

WHY and WHY.

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
