R33 Gtst Brakes Need To Replace Asap!

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.

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

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 :)

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
