Changed front brake pads, because that is where the noise is coming from. its the right hand front wheel. i look at the pads and they still have a lot of meat on them, but changed them anyway with some fero's or whatever they are, but still no luck, was ok for like 2 days, but now squiling like crazy again. went to supercheap picked up some spray to clean and take away noises brakes, still no luck.

what do i do now? i pull up at the lights and once im almost stopped ( 10k's a hour ) this horrible squiling starts until i slam the brakes hard!

any idea's?

thanks

Itll be the discs, feel up and down them for uneven-ness and cracks. new pads will last for a bit until the cracks in the rotors cut into them and you get un-even disc/pad contact again.

You need to take the pads and the discs off and take them to a break specalist and have them machine the rotors and chamfer the pads. If the rotors are gone beyond the machining point then you will need new discs, I recomended DBA Slotted, or if you want to spend more money, DBA Slotted + Dimpeled, which are also gold passivated and zinc treated.

My front brakes were fine but would squeel like a pig just as the car was coming to a stop. My front rotors were glazed due to overheating and needed to be replaced (too thin to machine).

I had the same problem, i got my rotors machined as i had plenty of meat left on em... solved my problem too

I have this problem, I had my discs machined and pads replaced and they were noisy as hell, I took the car back and they looked at it and when I got it back they were better but still noisy..

stock rotors and Lucas pads, I havnt been back since because I have a problem with assholes pretending they know my car.

I'll be trying the spray then if that doesnt work I'll pull them down myself and do them myself..

they were bled , and are standard brakes. ive tried anti squil spray but no good. might go for slotted discs i think, thanks for the replies

I've got project mu slotted rotors and endless pads and they squeal. Having slots doesn't stop it squealling.

Many pads these days squeal especially performance pads under light braking.Generally if the rotors are machined and the pads bedded in properly it will lower the chances of squealing.If you have the metal shims still on the pads take them off and try the stick on anti-squeal which goes on the back of the pad.These are available from Race Brakes Sydney for about $10.

If you have performance pads or the brakes were not bedded in properly it may be to late though.

I'm actually not sure what my pads are (haven't had to change them yet) but I've personally found that my biggest problem is when my stock rotors get wet. They get a layer of surface rust almost instantly!

First few stops they squeil at low speed, but after that they're ok again.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
