Theres a problem with my brakes in my Skyline, which i bought 2 weeks ago. 1st week of running it was fine, but now at slow speeds the breaks make a very loud screeching sound. I will hopefully be able to take it to the ppl who had a look at the car before sale to make sure everything is OK. Does anybody know what the problem could be?

most probably just worn pads. The screeching noise is there by design to advise you the pads need changing. If your thinking about upgrading your rotors ( say to slotted ) now is an idea time to change them , as your going to need to remove the calipers to put the pads in

Hmm i had the same problem with my old 33, i put bendix ultimates in they were so noisy, mechanics could not quite them down, so i had to change them to a softer compound.

Thanks. hmm that must be the problem then, so a softer compound i take it is working fine then?

Softer compounds will also generate shitloads of dust for your rims. Sometimes shit (such as tiny stones etc) get in between your rotors and pads which will also generate noise, just give it a quick clean with a big pressure hose or something. It helped on my brothers rexie.

Ultimates are dusty as anything...

Thanks for all the responses guys..

The pads are new, so its not due to any wear/tear, just that they are racing pads with a hard compound. I could get the softer compound, yet it will get dusty as ppl have pointed out, so yeh.

I decided to give it to the mechanics, they said they will sand it and apply some goo and said that it should reduce the noise, yet there is no guarentee of it not reccuring in the future.

Anyways im glad to know that it is a common occurance and that there is nothing wrong with the brakes. :P

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It鈥檒l be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
