New wheels, rotors and brake pads

[leech_]

Well Mark got his own thread so I am getting one too :wassup:

Finally put it all together and spent most of this morning and early arvo doing it.

Basically I have just cleaned up and resprayed the front and rear callipers in a glossy sorta black as they were dirty as hell and looked pov before so they look a little better at least.

then as some of you may have noticed I tried getting the rotors off the front well that got me in a good mood NOT till we worked out their was an easier way than how I was doing it initially Then fitted by DBA 4000 slotted rotors which I have had sitting in the garage for a good 2 months now. Then chucked in the RB74's put it back together.

Also my wheels arrived from Perth yesterday so I put them on too just the R34 GT-T ones but I like the look of them + they were about $1700 cheaper then the buddy clubs I was going to get anyways I still got to get the pics off the digi camera but will chuck them up when I can. I think I will need to lower it 1" just to make it sit a little better.

Oh also bedded in the brake pads and no squealing cheering... going off a few others posts about them they said the squeal like a bitch. I guess its a little early to make the call but yea all seems to be going good. Also I know it’s just been bedded in but I could not believe the amount of extra stopping power I had even just bedding them in compared to my old ones. its enough to send you through the windscreen if you aren’t holding on :kick:

peace out all

You should have filed off the raised nissan label and got some brembo stickers and put them on, real rice boy stuff. $0.80 for brembo's.

And what was the easier way to remove the rotors?????

[leech_]

lol tridentt i actually did sand back the nissan so its silver however i got to fed up with it after like 15 minutes of sanding and getting barely anywhere so it is silver but their are still a few glimpses of black. still better than they were before

but hey if i ever do it again i will take that into consideration haha

just use a little bit of thinners on a rag while the paints still wet next time, very easy

the 34 GTT rims look pretty sweet on the R33's, sonds like your cars coming along pretty nicely

Great rotor and pad combination. They work a treat!

[leech_]

Yeah but I had pictures

they are coming got them off the other pc though some didnt turn out that great

[Veilside R33]

so whats the eventual plan with the car Lee? how do you see it looking when its all done?

[Mark]

Leigh, where did you pick up your rotors from, and how much if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers

andrew,

i dont know in terms of looks its done pretty much gonna lower it an inch with some king springs. still gotta get the newautometer gauges then the boost T for the time being. The next possability is I am waiting on the newkon.biz dude as he is looking into intercooler piping for the hybrid coolers. if they come up at a good price i will probably get me one of them then a SAFC and i think that should do . Though yea considering i didnt want to do any engine mods i am a tad annoyed at myself i can never stick with it i always have to spend more ****ING MONEY haha oh well that SHOULD do it after that

also Mark i managed to pick them up for a bargin as a guy at super cheap borked up the price so he ended up selling them to me for $200 a corner. the next cheapest i could find was $240 a corner so gl if you can find them cheaper hehe

also pics will be up later tonight

[leech_]

well here are a few pics i appologise for the dodgy camera work

[leech_]

oh also dont worry i did prep the discs that sticker was removed properly also

[Gus-]

looks awsome. cant wait to see em in the flesh

[NJR 34GTT]

How much did you pay for the rb74s if you don't mind telling?

Looks shmick btw.

[leech_]

rb74s i ended up paying $153 i think delivered to me. they are normally $160 + postage but i did some of my typical bull shitting.

However i was a tad annoyed when i was chatting to the race brakes rep at summernats as he mentioned that if i am part of a car club which i mentioned SAU he said that he would do them for $130 for me so yea ring em up and you should be able to get them for$130 + postage which was like $10 - $15

[NJR 34GTT]

Now this might sound like a silly question, but is that for a pair or for the entire front set?

[leech_]

um yea its a silly question na jokes yea for the entire front set if it was that much per side i would have not got them

[NJR 34GTT]

Thanks mate will give them a call.

[MIVEC]
