i still have issues with my brakes,

apparently our mechanic says we dont need new brake pads cause there is heaps left, and u dont need to machine the disc brakes unless ur goin to put on new brake pads. so i guess i have to wait until my pads wear out.

The issue is that there is only one sqeak coming from one wheel not all. Front right. how can i get rid of this squeak without replacing brake pads or machining em (according to my mechanic dont need to do it now, its a waste of money). The squeak doesnt happen all the time only sometimes. Not hard or soft brekaing it seems to do it at a specific point.

do i buy a spray or something? HElp please?

dood you will prolly find its the rear right though it very much sounds like it is the front right

i have the same issue, changed pads tiwce now and machined the disks

nothing seems to work i have been told it is because there is very little braking done by the rear etc, i wish someone would just fix this sh*it

hey maybe DBA steve can sort it out

If the discs are glazed you should probably machine them anyway because the glazing doesn't help your stopping power.

You don't have to replace the pads just because you machine the discs, you do however need to sand them back so they're flat. Get some 80 grit emery and sand the pads back until they're flat again. Be careful you don't chamfer them off on a strange angle. Also wet the pads before sanding so you don't inhale any of the fibres.

The anti-squealing compound helps but doesn't always work 100%, especially on the harder pads like RB74's.

Hey Champinco you still having this problem? Im having the exact same problem. I just got my car yesterday and unfortunately after about a 100k its started squeaking. Not a normal squeak but more a crackly squeak like brake pad dust or something? And its only comming from my front left.

Did machining it help?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
