hey guys

in the process of upgrading the brakes on my 33

as r34gtr brembos are hard to come by i would like to use the sti brembos on my car

so i know the rears of the sti fits up onto the rear of a r33 but what rotors do you use to make it all function and what brake lines do you use

the fronts i know doesnt fit so i will have to make some dog legs only issue is what is a good size rotor to use for the fronts i am running 17inch by 9 inch drifttek wheels all round +30s

cheers guys i hope there is alot of info on this

cheers

to make em fit and do it properly

step 1 : jack car up

step 2 : unbolt wheel

step 3 : smash drift tek to pieces

step 4 : go buy 33gtr brakes

step 5 : bolt together

step 6 : buy decent wheels

step 7 : lots better now

how much power u pushing? wat power u planning on going to?

33 gtr brembos will be quite adequate enough for street and anything you can throw at them

cn28s are on the cards need to get rid of my gtr seats first and get some buckets

in terms of power car is making 440-450 rwhp so need bigger brakes than 33 gtrs

anyway fronts are sorted got a set of 34gtr calipers and rotors so all good

just need to sort out the backs now

I think what Sydneykid is getting at is why is the caliper better...

The 33 sumitomo caliper is quite good and is 4 piston, as is the STI brembo, however, if your only going to increase the rotor then why not just upgrade the rotor size and retain the 33 calipers?

There will be minimal difference between the STI 4pot and the 33 4pot... IMO unless this is a serious track car? especially when your using an adapter to obtain a bigger rotor

Correct me if im wrong though...

I think the main reason is if he has Brembos on the front, it'll look a bit weird with standard calipers on the rear, so with the STi callipers its the same all the way around.

And I think it is a track car, but its the sexiest damn track car I've ever seen!

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
