what are some good brake pads for street use and a weekly "mountain run" ? without spending a fortune...

oi Grant re: red recaros, got pics? how much for just 1 without rail?

QFM HPX, under $100 for a pair. Trader on forum.

Do not recommend for track work. Glazed them after a couple of laps

Don't get the QFM A1RM pads either. Mine screech so bad i'm considering getting rid of them. There are much better options out there i'm sure.

not a good pad for daily. Killed my brand new rotors in 30,000km. They squeal because they arent up to operating temps and eat through the rotors really badly. I did fix the squealing during regular driving by properly bedding them in on the freeway.

wtf are you two on about.

The r32 does not have a boost solenoid. Only the r33 does.

Pull out the bleed valve and reconnect the hose. Not rocket science.

A single hose from the actuator to the turbo. Done.

Epic lol if you posted up a WTB thread for a r32 boost solenoid. May as well ask for headlight fluid.

noted

lol @ headlight fluid

and, jeeeezzzz you and kris really love going at it.. arguing like a married couple and shit

Does anybody know if a rear strut brace will do anything on an r33? I've heard them make feck all difference.

have you already upgraded your swaybars? They do the most in handling. Best bang for buck for handling.

You will definitely notice a difference with new swaybars.

internet is serious business

lol homos

top gear causes outrage among muslims

seriously, the syrian doods that saw them when they rocked up in the curtains just had a laugh.. no idea why those bearded f**k tards think its so bad

Yes, this is true. You basically have to bed them in every week which is a pain in the arse.

Swaybars are next on my to-do list. I really wanna upgrade some of the bushes as well because I like the idea of a car that feels really tight, like its just rolled out of the factory. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to achieve this?

just start replacing the bushes with adjustable ones. ie. front/rear camber, castor, power steering rack bushes, subframe locking bushes. Bundle that with some swaybars and a decent wheel alignment and car will be handling like its on rails

Id get swaybars first, see how the car feels/handles and then start replacing bushes (if needed)

Thanks mate, I'll be getting my rental bond back soon, so it will be time to do some shopping ; )

How much would I be looking at for those bushes as mentioned?

have a look at project mu brake pads, i went with the b-spec ones in my old car and loved them.

i'll look through traders on here see what they've got

not selling separately, sorry

rude

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
