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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
