Here enjoy some poetry

"So sit down my children

I've a story you see

Of good money squandered

On my r33

'Twas a warm summer evening

I laid eyes on her

It wasn't to angry

The sound of her purr

A sad '25

Lay under it's bonnet

No turbo in sight

I should not of bought it

But big plans lay in store

For the R33

To make it a monster

Powered by LS, not RB

I cut and I hacked

And I swore black and blue

And turned this poor car

Into a thing owned by few

It lives! I cried

As the LS erupted

This car has a soul

A soul I've corrupted

I fear no RB

As I roll down the highway

Stuff the conformists

I did it my way"

To much time on your hands..

Btw I like brakes

brembos from other cars ie R34 GTR are a poor upgrade...........save and get a big brake kit........I'm not a fan of Chinese brakes hence why I have AP Racing 6 pot brake kit

Brembo F50 / GT kit, Endless, Trust / Alcon all quality brakes but expensive

Mmm, much monies....

Shall have to get saving!

Yeah, money isn't really an issue at the moment, it's just a matter of time saving it. Car isn't going to be tracked seriously though, so I doubt that i'd get value out of a big brake kit. Get the impression that the R34ones are a little overpriced (cause R34, cause brembo), the 33 ones look like the ticket.

Edit: they're the same size anyway, didn't realise that.

edit edit: reading over old threads. 355mm rotor and caliper kit, 2006, $10000 bucks. :O

R33 brembos are not the same size as r32 gtr brakes. 325mm vs 296 R33 ones work easier than r34 ones because the bolts are the correct size.

yeah, I meant 33 vs 34, same rotor size, different caliper mounts, same pads.

for fr and rear yes. just upgrade the fronts to start of with then do the rear IF you need to.

After having a big front brake the rear brakes do not need to work as hard anyways so for occasional track days (even than occasional) rear stock calipers will suffice.

My Front APs cost less than 4,5k IIRC

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
