Ok I have searched so please don't flame me. Nothing has shown up I. My searches with a clear anwser to my question

So obviously car in question s1 33 gtst. Standard rotors. (Fronts are ok rears have a little lip)

Brake pads have squeeled like a bitch when I got them. They have gotten worse (4 - 5 months of owning it). I remember having a quick look and they had heaps of meat so I assumed possibly shit pads it's only ever when it was cold. A few stops and she was fine

Now every light every stop it's loud and getting on my nerves

Now I drive my car pretty hard. And I drift on the occasion. Sometimes at the track. Sometimes at my personal area? If you want to call it that. (This car hasn't seen track yet.)

I don't intend to do any circuit racing or anything that requires the breaks of a supercar

So my question is

Is it worth the money to get slotted and drilled rotors. And if so what ones are worth getting? To suit my needs as stated above

And then the second is obviously what pads

I've always used bendix as far as I know. Trying to get something with minimal dust and ZERO SQUEEL

My budget is pretty mild at the moment. But if it's going to do me a great deal to get something a bit more pricey well I won't tight arse out

But i would rather not waste money on discs and pads that don't help my situation

I also do frequent burnouts

But I'm not the type to ride my brakes down mountains until they are cherry

Thanks in advance and please try not to flame me if that's possible

But srsly- slotted rotors are cheap as chips from places like RDA (or eBay) so u might as well.

Get a set of those, decent fluid and some QFM or Bendix Ultimate pads and you will be set.

Braided brake lines if you have extra $.

As for "zero squeal" - make sure u have the anti rattle shims in place, clean everything well when replacing and lube the pad sliders.

Or harden up.

GSL RALLYSPORT... Cheap and have some good gear...

Don't do dumb shit on the street, or at least if you do dont advertise it on this forum... Ever!

Naww dude,

Telling people you are hardcore is so hardcore

I have an erection at the thought of someone drifting a whale on the street.

This cannot be unseen :woot:

This.

I run Project Mu HC+ pads (a pad that isn't famous for being whisper quiet OR minimal dust) in my Riceline and the only time they "squeeled like a bitch" is when I am bedding them in.

Lol so I get flamed anyways. This is why people don't post on forums anymore....

As for drifting in other places

Blame the government and council I live along way from eastern creek. Oran park wasn't so bad until they canned it.

I live rural on a low salary. Most times it's on my property anyways.

People arnt stupid. I wouldn't be the only person who's cut loose somewhere other then a track. Just tried to give an idea. How much abuse the pads and rotors will see

Also whoever asked again

I googled all last night. Without a straight answer.

Hence this post

Well forget Google and get on the phone to GSL Rallysport and all the answers will magically appear :)

    • 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.
