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.

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?

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
