Here enjoy some poetry

"So sit down my children

I've a story you see

Of good money squandered

On my r33

'Twas a warm summer evening

I laid eyes on her

It wasn't to angry

The sound of her purr

A sad '25

Lay under it's bonnet

No turbo in sight

I should not of bought it

But big plans lay in store

For the R33

To make it a monster

Powered by LS, not RB

I cut and I hacked

And I swore black and blue

And turned this poor car

Into a thing owned by few

It lives! I cried

As the LS erupted

This car has a soul

A soul I've corrupted

I fear no RB

As I roll down the highway

Stuff the conformists

I did it my way"

To much time on your hands..

Btw I like brakes

brembos from other cars ie R34 GTR are a poor upgrade...........save and get a big brake kit........I'm not a fan of Chinese brakes hence why I have AP Racing 6 pot brake kit

Brembo F50 / GT kit, Endless, Trust / Alcon all quality brakes but expensive

Mmm, much monies....

Shall have to get saving!

Yeah, money isn't really an issue at the moment, it's just a matter of time saving it. Car isn't going to be tracked seriously though, so I doubt that i'd get value out of a big brake kit. Get the impression that the R34ones are a little overpriced (cause R34, cause brembo), the 33 ones look like the ticket.

Edit: they're the same size anyway, didn't realise that.

edit edit: reading over old threads. 355mm rotor and caliper kit, 2006, $10000 bucks. :O

R33 brembos are not the same size as r32 gtr brakes. 325mm vs 296 R33 ones work easier than r34 ones because the bolts are the correct size.

yeah, I meant 33 vs 34, same rotor size, different caliper mounts, same pads.

for fr and rear yes. just upgrade the fronts to start of with then do the rear IF you need to.

After having a big front brake the rear brakes do not need to work as hard anyways so for occasional track days (even than occasional) rear stock calipers will suffice.

My Front APs cost less than 4,5k IIRC

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
