I blew my diff up the other day and got another to replace it with.

Here are the pictures of the brakes that the previous owner of the car thought was simply "a worn gearbox making all the noise"

Min thickness stamped on the disc is 8.4mm

I have AP Street Sport pads on my car, they were suppost to be low dust, but I think it would be impossible for them to produce more dust. I really want to see the pads, I have a sneaking suspision the mechanics may has stolen those pads, and put crap ones in, dodgy.

Greg. :devfu:

Well,

I think EBC is pricewise... If I'm selling my car, the mechanic who does RWC will ask to replace the pads anyway (all of them wanna make money), so I gotta replace pads coz they're almost due.

I can hear metal schreeching a bit when moving forward slightly n applying light brake

yeaowch!

Kinda makes you wonder though when they keep pulling you on "minimum thickness" when u get your brakes replaced when in reality the disc in those photos never shattered after all, even when it was half the recommended!

I can imagine the cool sparks on braking.. dudes would probably just be looking at the sparks flying off going "wtf?"

Yep, some ppl dun deserve to drive a car...

I met someone who bought his R33 +/- 8 months ago from an overseas student who just left the country. The previous owner never even changed the oil since 1999!!!

That's bad....

Spoke to the wrecker again today (Datsall in Lilydale) and he said the front brakes are the vented type and the entire disc on one side of the vents had been ripped off by metal/metal contact.

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
