hey, im interested in doing the 5 stud conversion on my r33, however i cant find any complete guides on doing so... or more to the point, a complete list of parts needed to do it.

ive searched and found a few threads on it already, but so far, most of them have been saying different things about needing to replace parts of the braking system and what not.

also would anyone have all the parts to do the conversion sitting around for sale? :D

cheers for any points in the right direction XD

Get the turbo's 4 piston calipers with the bolts!, and rear 2 piston setup with 298mm rear disc and drum for the handbrake. The whole rear hub setup will have the handbrake stuff on it.

Then you need to see if the center spline of your driveshafts that runs through the rear wheel bearing is smaller than the turbo version...

i did this mod on my 4stud r32

got r33 turbo rear hubs and r32 front hubs, came with brake calipers, rotors and handbrake cables still attached

i found my driveshaft spline was the same and fit the turbo hubs

u need a big socket to undo the driveshaft nut from the hub, think its a 36mm socket

i upgraded my brakes at the same time and found that once i went for the first drive i had no braking pressure, adjusted the brake pedal where it connects to the brake master and i got brake pressure,

if u do upgrade the brakes i ur brake lines may have banjo fittings where they bolt to the caliper so you'll have to work something out

thats random, i sold sajid_arif those wheel hubs like a month ago, apparently they got damaged in the post, seems like they must be alright now, i bet they were always alright he just decided he didnt want them anymore so tried to make an excuse for refund. LOL

Didnet want to start another thread, Could a Brake upgrade be done on a R33 GTS4 without a 5 stud conversion, Say rotors and calipers of an AWD stagea?

Been trying to look for the Brake sizes aswell with no luck, info appreciated

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
