R33 Gtst Brakes Need To Replace Asap!

Ok I have searched so please don't flame me. Nothing has shown up I. My searches with a clear anwser to my question

So obviously car in question s1 33 gtst. Standard rotors. (Fronts are ok rears have a little lip)

Brake pads have squeeled like a bitch when I got them. They have gotten worse (4 - 5 months of owning it). I remember having a quick look and they had heaps of meat so I assumed possibly shit pads it's only ever when it was cold. A few stops and she was fine

Now every light every stop it's loud and getting on my nerves

Now I drive my car pretty hard. And I drift on the occasion. Sometimes at the track. Sometimes at my personal area? If you want to call it that. (This car hasn't seen track yet.)

I don't intend to do any circuit racing or anything that requires the breaks of a supercar

So my question is

Is it worth the money to get slotted and drilled rotors. And if so what ones are worth getting? To suit my needs as stated above

And then the second is obviously what pads

I've always used bendix as far as I know. Trying to get something with minimal dust and ZERO SQUEEL

My budget is pretty mild at the moment. But if it's going to do me a great deal to get something a bit more pricey well I won't tight arse out

But i would rather not waste money on discs and pads that don't help my situation

I also do frequent burnouts

But I'm not the type to ride my brakes down mountains until they are cherry

Thanks in advance and please try not to flame me if that's possible

But srsly- slotted rotors are cheap as chips from places like RDA (or eBay) so u might as well.

Get a set of those, decent fluid and some QFM or Bendix Ultimate pads and you will be set.

Braided brake lines if you have extra $.

As for "zero squeal" - make sure u have the anti rattle shims in place, clean everything well when replacing and lube the pad sliders.

Or harden up.

Naww dude,

Telling people you are hardcore is so hardcore

I have an erection at the thought of someone drifting a whale on the street.

This cannot be unseen :woot:

This.

I run Project Mu HC+ pads (a pad that isn't famous for being whisper quiet OR minimal dust) in my Riceline and the only time they "squeeled like a bitch" is when I am bedding them in.

Lol so I get flamed anyways. This is why people don't post on forums anymore....

As for drifting in other places

Blame the government and council I live along way from eastern creek. Oran park wasn't so bad until they canned it.

I live rural on a low salary. Most times it's on my property anyways.

People arnt stupid. I wouldn't be the only person who's cut loose somewhere other then a track. Just tried to give an idea. How much abuse the pads and rotors will see

Also whoever asked again

I googled all last night. Without a straight answer.

Hence this post

Well forget Google and get on the phone to GSL Rallysport and all the answers will magically appear :)

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
