Hey guys, another annoying thing... i just got all 4 discs machined and fitted brand new Bendix Ultimate pads all round... its pulling up perfectly now and I love the feel of the breaks... but the front drivers side squeals under medium braking... its so annoying! Even before i changed them it never ever squealed! I tried light breaking under throttle hoping to eliminate any debris but it stops for a while then comes back when the pads cool down…

I know most of you will say Bendix are crap but i have never had any issues with them in the past.. the spare parts guy recommended Lucas Brake Pads... but i stuck to the Bendix

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Hi there. I have the same problem on the front with the bendix

But only under light braking when it is raining. I recently had the

back done and asked why this happened. The guy said at some

point in time for about 8 months bendix pads that were made

in this period had this fault (nothing to do with the performance

of the pad). He said they now have fixed the problem. Not sure

if this true tho. Im still running them and they work well. Hope

this helps. :D

I have found the exact same issue on new rotors with Bendix ultimates on my R32. I spent a lot of time and consequently money trying to stop this squeeling. I have installed a shim kit etc but it's still squeeling.

Basically it seems that Bendix ultimates have changed somehow (or they manufactured SOME that were bad) and are now a pretty annoying brake pad. I'm trying to find a suitable replacement and will be asking Bendix compensate me for these faulty pads.

my experience

1. clean rotors with brake cleaner....really well

2. use shims on pads

3. use stop squeel glue on the pads

4. clean pads with brake cleaner if they get dirty too.

always be careful where you put you greasy fingers.

seems to be working well with dba rotor and utimates.....i did have them squeeling on my last brake change, so i pulled them apart....and did the above again....and been really good since.

Are the discs still above minimum thickness? I had trouble with my R33 fronts that were screaming with Bendix brakes. Tried everthing. When I took them off and was about to have them machined we found they were a long way under minimum.

By the book, there is about 2-3 mm between new and not to be machined. Put some DBA slotteds on. Screaming gone.

Ive had bendix ultimates on my fronts... I have done everything.. I'm not too bothered by it. I would never by ultimates again.. just a waste of money really.. could have spent my 80 bux better elsewhere..

By the way, the pads just glaze the rotors pretty much straight away, so your gonna get squeels, and yes i have used disc brake quiet to no avail. bendix advances all the way.. less dust, less noise, less eating away at my prescious rotors which are now way undersize.. oh well

I had nasty squeels even at low speeds and light braking.

Roughing up the pads works well (so there is no smooth flat spots where the dust gets caught)

I got a hack saw out and put light score marks diagonally along the pad.

haven't had the problem since.

well...

wont have the problem until the pads wear down so theres no score marks at least

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
