besides brake dust, why would you choose the k500's over the k750's?

If you're not doing track, then you wouldn't need K750's. The way I see it, you get a better pad for only $35 more.

what lines would i order for a R32GTR with R33 brembos all round? cant imagine it being at all different to normal lines...

Yeah just the standard 32 gtr lines will fit.

Thats the same setup i have on my car

so by better pad, you mean the k750 over the k500??

i do have a track day coming up on march 14th, but realistically i would be doing maybe 2-3 track days a year. Would this warrant though going up to the K750's??

I assuming there is also a trade off in 'rotor wear' from the k500's to the k750's?

Yes by better pad I mean the K750's over the K500's.

If you're doing track days, then I would strongly recommend the K750's. The K500's aren't designed for track.

Yes, there is a trade off in rotor wear from the K500's to the K750's, however I think its negligable.

You'll probably find your brake fluid will boil well before the pads reach their max temp. If you're going track, get some Lucas brake fluid.

hi i just need pads..will the k500s fit the stock setup? and is it good just for street driving? noise wise compared to the stock one? thanks

I'm assuming by stock setup you mean for a 33 gtst?

Yes, K500's are ideal for street driving. They produce no extra noise.

Cheers

    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
