Hell you guy's, talkin bout cheap parts.

I went to nissan today and paid $83.00 for the full set, and both operators commented they were the cheapest "disc brake hardware set" they have for nissan's.

Who's getting taken for a ride here, i quoted CRZY32's part no's which were correct, i pay $83 he gets quoted $72. Hmm, sure is dear to live in Sydney.

Hi, really sorry for digging up this thread, but I wanted to ask if those anti-squeal shims are worth having?

I got quoted $146.87 + gst for the factory hardware kit

(Part Code: 41080K

Part Number: 41080-21U25 "HARDWARE KIT - FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD”)

that MerlinTheHapyPig posted.

So those of you that have these shims on your skyline would you say there worth it? Do they really make that extra difference?

I’ve had new slotted rotors and pads fitted on my R33 GTS25t and the brakes STILL squeal :O

Will these 146.87 + gst shims save my ears and the peoples ears down the road and the birds that fly away when they here me braking?

Someone look up prices/part numbers for a set of front shims for R33 GTR Brembos for me :O

Can have mine Andrew when I pull them down soon. I never use them. Occasionally you need to give pads a decent heat cycle and use the right stuff on the back, like moly grease, very thin.

Endless are just crap and will destroy your rotors, but you'll have plenty of pad left.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
