hey guys,

i'm looking at upgrading my brakes on my n/a r33 with gtst brakes, been looking around the forsale section for a while but not much luck.

so i wana find some skyline wreckers around the S.E suburb area that would possibly have some r33 gts-t brakes

i have seen the sticky at the top of the vic section but its fairly old and none of the sites seem to work

any help is appreciated,

thanks, leigh

just be careful if you do go there.. make sure you do ur research on prices and what to look for interms of wear and tear... I have had a few things done through them before and they are pretty dodgy....occastionally though they are really good on prices if you know what you are looking for.

good luck with it....

personally I have done this to my car...if you cant find it for a decent price or decent condition just wait a little... unfortunetly for whatever reason we skyline drivers have a fair few accidents and these parts are almost always for sale in wrecked cars..

what exactly am i asking for? what did you do?

for a 5 stud conversion also so im looking for:

hubs, rotors, calipers and do i need brake booster? or gtst lines / control arms or anything like that?

well.. mine was a little different to everyones else's..due to being a gts4 I had to find the 2 front complete arms off a gtr (not easy to come by) i already had a full set of gtst calipers ready and some stock rotors... so I didnt need much else... except for just some simplye gtst rear hubs....

that way I did the full 5 stud conversion and brake upgrade at the same time...

if you were going to do it.. you would need the front hubs (or do what I did which was alot easier and get the complete front arms-apparently made it half the job at the front for the mechanics) rear hubs... rotors... pads.. gtst calipers..brake lines.....brake fluid? thats mainly what comes to mind...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
