If i were you i'd buy Vu's... Slotted are really a waste of time and money unless your either pushing big power or circuit racing.... 33 gtst's have exceptional brakes for everyday/hills and even light circuit work :D

gettin vu's on friday :)

just need to get brakes and hubs now :D:D:(

well this is soprisingly conveinient haha! im in need of some 5 stud hubs for the rear of a R33 too haha!

does anyone know if you have to use GTST calipers with the 5 stud hubs or will the GTS calipers still fit up no probs?

no you could keep your old calipers why

1) why

2) why

3) you would need to re drill your 4 stud rotors to suit 5 stud (not a hard task)

yeah go slotted,

1 the rotors will be brand new

2 slotted ftmfw!

get steve to get you qfm pads aswell, worked sweet in my 33, so they will be more than enough for your 33 :)

what are the qfm pads like are they good ive always used ebc red stuff.?

cool might hit you up in a few weeks steve i will give em a go ive been using ebc red stuff for a year now great pads only down fall is dont use cheap brake fluid or it will boil real quick

the red stuff dont squeal when upto temp and it has a beding in compound on it too are the qfm similar to red stuff

i have No idea how they compare to the red stuff as i said mine squeal possibly due to a wrong bed in process

lol Mitch its ok power will be better when i get the rest of the most to make the turbo's full potential

no you could keep your old calipers why

1) why

2) why

3) you would need to re drill your 4 stud rotors to suit 5 stud (not a hard task)

or pick up a set of R32, S14, 15 rotors as they are all 5x114.3 by 280mm the same as the GTS, not sure about the thickness though, but as Steve said they aren't that hard to redrill and it would probably work out cheaper (through growly :wink: :wink: ).

I also agree with steves first two points;

WHY and WHY.

QFM are fine i have the K550's I'm not sure if i didn't bed them in properly but when up to temp they squeal a little

Same with mine... when they heat up they squeal ALOT.... its kind of annoying, not really the sound itself but more the fact everyone looks at ya thinking WTF lol

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
