Squeaky Brakes

Hey guys, i just picked up my car from the docks and whenever i brake, i get a very loud squeak sound. Now im thinkin its just that the discs have corroded abit on the outsides and there is alot of dust shit etc on it.

Now do u think this will go eventually or is there a way to clean the discs?

Thanks

get ur brakes checked out ... it might have lots and lots of rust on it ... get them machined if need be too ... doesn't cost that much ... maybe 40 bucks or something like that ... check out your pads too ... doesn't compliance do these things?? anyways give us some pics of your car mate :D ... i'll see u out on the streets :D its a red colour right??

Well I've only driven mine from the docks back to the dude who complies the car but mine were also squeaky. Pretty bad. But they did have rust. Would this be all thats causing it? You sure machining them is only $40? How long would it take and any old tyre place could do it right?

I reckon benm is right. I had a similar problem - after driving my 33 very hard through the mountains for an hour and a half my brakes were screaming. Got the discs machined and the pads relinished coz they were glazed. Quiet as can be and bite much harder now. Cost about 100 bucks all up.

    • Yeah, so I think that is the point. If you presume a 25% lower reading on a chassis dyno than what the engine is making, then the most you would see from a 720HP engine is ~550wHP. "Lose" a little more because AWD dyno and the number will be lower. Call a hub dyno "wheel HP" and you should see higher numbers. But the horses would be a different size. And as Murray says above - an imposed 90% DC limit drops 550 down to 500 straight away. 80% takes you down to ~450.
    • Sounds reasonable to me.  Do you know what your injector duty cycle is? I guess everyone has their own personal limit as to how high they want to flirt with 100% duty cycle, but who knows what your tuners limit is. Maybe they like to cap it at 80%? Now your injector CC to HP conversion has a 20% hair cut on it, then through drivetrain losses, yeah 500rwhp seems ok to me.  If you plan to spend on your GTR, modern injectors and a modern ECU will go a long way! 
    • @GTSBoythanks for replying. That's realistic and I always believed in the injector-hp rule of thumb. I am however making way less than that 😕 My guestimate/goal for the setup is a reliable 500rwhp, R33 gtr, seems realistic enough doesn't it?
    • 720cc injectors can only support about 720 engine HP. Maybe a little bit more. 600rwHP is, um, a plenty big chunk of that number. Probably running to the top of your fuel supply.
    • Hi gents, sincerely asking you guys the theoretical or actual power figures expected from the setup below: HKS Y pipes & 80mm cat back, Sard (denso) 720cc injectors, DW300 pump, R35 MAFs, Twin HKS 2530's (stock headers), Trust intercooler, stock BOV, stock intake plenum & TB's, N1 oil pump, MLS head gasket, forged pistons, poncam B's, Power FC, pump RON97, nismo coppermix twin plate, 18's on 265 rubber. So I've pretty much listed all that matters with regards to making and putting the power down. Asking as I may or may not be getting the full potential of my setup (bottom end was running 600rwhp on a different car). I have done numerous Dyno sessions with slightly different setups but more or less the same outcome which leads me to conclude (reluctantly) the setup is maxed out. Will share graphs but would like you to share your input first for better effect. Thanks in advance, guys!
