I think he's refferring to the backing plates that go on the back of the pads? I got new pads the other day and they squeal like all buggery, the mechanic said he can get some in from japan that would cost about $60 or so. Which reminds me I gotta call him and find out if they've arrived yet.

Cheers

Hi dude. Please don't use caps. It is hard to read and implies that you're yelling.

The 'squeeler plates' are called shims. You can buy Anti-Squeal Paste to help keep your brakes quiet. Works a treat.

And to all fellow SAUers, the things that make your car slow down are 'brakes'. If a plate falls onto the kitchen floor, it 'breaks'.

Amen!

And where would we find such items? I think i'd like to give this a go. Sometimes mine squeal badly, sometimes they don't make a damn sound! =-/

Heya Steve.

I use CRC Anti-Squeal Paste. It's orange goo in a bottle with a nozzle like you'd see on a tube of silicone. I found it at Auto-One in the same place you find CRC Brakekleen, CRC Carbycleaner, etc. Just keep an eye out for a small orange bottle. Slap it everywhere you like ;) But the best place is between the pad and the shim. It's super sticky and doesn't wash off clothing. It's about $10 or $15 I think.

I guess it just stops any noise caused by the shim vibrating against the pad - ie. squealing. It made my (otherwise universally noisy) RB74 pads completely silent.

That anti-squeal paste is good stuff and works a treat if you have shims or backing plates on your brake pads. A few other things to consider are that alot of brake pads have an audible warning built in to let you know when the pads are getting low. This usually consists of a piece of metal that rubs on the disc rotor when the pads are low. This can sometimes be bent during installation and cause it to prematurely rub on the rotor causing an audible sqeal. Another thing to consider is the high copper/metal content in the pad which will also cause squealing.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
