Go do a track day that always gets the noise out of my brakes

good idea.

though this begs the question - did j-baby bed his brakes in properley?

j-baby - try this (check via the search button... hint hint, newbie:

Find a nice stretch of road, and apply the brakes as hard as possible without locking up from 100+ kph (110 is the legal limit) to about 10 kph. DON'T STOP - just brake hard. make sure you release before

repeat it a few times...

Ever since they changed my rotors and pads it has sqeaked. They fixed it for 3 days then it has gotten worse. In the begining it was rock in my calipers but now its beyond that and im running out of options.

could be brake dust, or maybe the backing plate could be touching the rotor, could be a rock in the caliper, Is it only when you apply the brakes?

pretty much straight away coz i have to reverse out of my drive way and its starts from there. it sounds like metal to metal but im not convinced it is. i dunno what else to do :blink:

do the brakes squeal all the time, or just till they warm up ?

coz cold brakes squealing is very common.

I had the same problem as most skyline drivers. The best fix for the squeeling brakes is to go and buy a couple of cans of brake cleaner and some crc anti squeel (red silicon).

1)pull pads and anti squeel shims

2)clean the shims, pads, pins and caliper with the brake clean. (make it all look like new)

3)roughen up the surface of the rotor with some 80grit sandpaper and do the same to the pads.

4)on the REAR ONLY use the crc anti sqeal, put it on the back of the pad and down the outside edges of the pad. (the rear pads have a lot of lateral movement and by doing this it minimises this movement and therefore less sqeeking).

5)Put the brakes all back together.

I use bendex advance as they are constructed from organic material rather then metal.

      Nismo front and back LSD

      What’s wrong with 2.6 first gear? I’ve done lots of 2nd gear starts from almost a dead stop and it just requires more clutch slip. A 2.6 first gear would be easier than that. I feel like the stock first gear is only good for severe traffic congestion where you need to be able to do 5 kph idling in first gear. Out in the US 120 kph is a very normal speed to be doing on the highways. If anything it’s slow, I regularly get passed by CA highway patrol doing that kind of speed. Out in the desert and plains even 18 wheelers are doing 130-140 kph. I would be less down on the Getrag if not for the fact that they cost north of 10k USD used and you’ll spend probably another 5k on a rebuild at least. I got my FS5R30A from Nissan for 1.5k USD. The cost of building one is maybe an extra 3-4k if you keep it reasonable. The final drive change to account for the 0.793 6th gear is also a pain to deal with.

      Coilover touching front upright arm?

      Usually the lower mount has a thicker/wider side, see image of the right side of the lower shock mount. Don't see why a couple of washers wouldn't do the same job.

      Counter opinon. Having both an OS gearset car and the getrag 6 speed, will take the 6 speed for the street all day long thanks. First gear on most gear sets are ASS, the bloody gear you spend heaps of time in on the street too.   I run the 4.11 and it is fine at 110, (not sure who gets to do 120)  I do find the gears a little short and doing a 3.89 setup.    Anyway back to your question, running stock LSD rear, love it. Tried an S15 helical rear, it was aweful. In the process of doing a quaife front on advice as part of the 3.89. Seems like a good option. Let you know     Car is 800awhp and mostly street.
