Vu,

Did you pull the squeel shims off the old brake pads and clipped them on to the new? 'Sometimes' its easy not to see the squeel shims on the old pads if they are dirty and full of brake dust.

Had a mechanic fit the brake pads and rotors up and yeah he did the shims - everything looked to be done well and bedding in was done according to the instructions from the brake pads. I'm gonna take the pads out sometime in the next couple days get some anti-squealing shiz into it see how it goes then... damn thing is driving me nuts!

yeah my EBC Redstuff (ceramic) is doing the same thing now....loud as with a medium pedal but goes away with hard braking and I used the stick on anti squeal pads to

ive got the same pads pete but i have not had a problem with them squealing did you bed them in properly.?

yeah they have that thin compound on them that requires light to medium use initially before giving them the usual bed in process (from 100kph down to 15kph several times till hot then cool down and repeat if necessary)

I haven't done that final process yet cause they were only put in 150 km ago but I think they may be ready for the final process now.........hope that fixes it.

On another note, do they bite those rotors or what.....very unforgiving even on initial grab and wants to throw you thru the windscreen everytime, lol

I dont know if thats meant to be done with my brake pads but hell I'm going to give that a try see if that works!

anyone keen to come bowling friday night? Salisbury Bowland, 8:00, $19 for 3 hours of bowling

Friday night is my Vili's and cruise night :) do you remember that place?? its where most of use to hang out on Friday nights :)

I put a chamfered angle on the leading edge of new brake pads to stop them sqeeling.... nothing over the top use a file and take the sharp edge away. it has alwayz worked for me :)

i did the same with my pads mick, made the squeeling stop enough for me to hear my dodgy wheel bearing on the front passenger side :)

i remember reading on here a while back that one of the SAU members works for CBC, any one remember who?

that could be a blessing in disguise.... not fun when they collapse totally :)

i have some red goo stuff that heslo luke told be to buy when he did my rotors

and pads,

never heard on squeel from my brakes, no matter how hot they got,

its still pretty much full tube, you can have it

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
