New Rims Or Brake Upgrade?

[simpleboyy]

hey guys ive just got my first skyline r33 gts non turbo s2 and was wondering if i should get the hub and brakes changed into the gtsts? or at the same price get new rims the volk te37 look alikes in the 4 stud? but ive got a spare set of stock gtst rims, soo if i do the brake change i can use the spare set but its stock for the same price i could just get 4 stud te37 look alikes in 17s,

i dont know guys what should i do?

You should get gtst brakes and rotors and change to 5 stud rims.

I'm with and3_3, get a 5 stud pattern it opens your options up for future upgrades. I know that's what i plan to do once i get mine...if =p (nah should be very soon though currently offering on one)

yea i think my brake is going to give up soon the old owner really killed it i dont know what he did but the rear left brake makes noises when driving at low speeds im not sure if im going to keep this car after i get my fulls or should i just turbo it? a bit hetick though may as well get the gtst? im still half hearted but i reckon at the end im going to end up getting new brake pads and machine the rotors or get new brakes, and also i some times go mountain driving on the week ends soo yea its hard, grip or good braking.......

Brakes FTW.

Also, there's more and better rims available in 5 stud.

look alikes??

:s

I would go the GTS T upgrade for sure... look alikes they are sure to b heavy and probably give u less performance then anything. I know its easier to get these rims and im sure the car will look mint in them... but no one should say no to a good brake upgrade... especially if u r having trouble with yours at the moment... its what stop the car you know... haha

besdies some good tyres like the pontenza series on gts t rims will give you more then enough grip on the road...

then save and get some geniune rims... lets say something like P1 buddy clubs haha...

and as everyone is saying... yes 5 stud does give u more rims to look at.

yea i guess so lol looks like ill be getting the brake upgrade hahahah cost a fair bit 700 hubs front and rear and gtst brakes off a series 2

i was thinking of doing it my self save a but of $$$$ has anybody done it them selves? is there any thing i should be more careful of, or any pointers would be most helpful to me oh and after i've done this i dont think i would be getting new rims very soon lol money money money lol i asked a tire guy and he said the enkei or advanti rpo3 or rpo1 would set me back almost 2 grand for a set with 8 or 8.5 up front and 9 or 9.5 at the rear, im trying to get it as wide as possible but would 9.5 inch by 17s fit in the rear? not really sure about it.

700 bucks aint a bad price. Take you time, do it right and do it once. There shouldn't be any problems. Just make sure youve got a socket big enough to take off the rear hub nut (I think its about a 36 - 38mm ), and a really long breaker bar for it.
