hey hey.

my stagea has developed a rather annoying and embarrassing problem.

under braking, the RHF wheel squeels, and when not braking, it will continue to do so for however long it feeels, sometimes it wont, most of the time, it will.

now atm i cant get the wheel off coz i dont have access to a compressor. bastard mechanics.

what can be causing this? is it the caliper not releasing?

shitting me to tears.

last brake test showed it had about 60% all round if that matters, and it looks like there is plenty of meat left on the pads. discs need doing tho.

cheers

Probably just the disc but maybe your caliper needs overhauling? Sounds like its not releasing hydraulic pressure somewhere in the system...

it sounds like your inside brake pad,they are the ones that make the constant schreeching sound when driving,i used to work at automasters and i can tell ya they dont really check the pads well,especially the inside ones,i dont know why they make it constantly considering the problem is LESS pad but from my experience it does,hope it helps

wear strip? I have seen these protruding from some of the cheaper pads after they are about half way worn. The only way to know properly is to take off the calliper.

Why do you need a compressor? Kinda gonna be stuffed if you get a flat tyre in the midddle of nowhere aren't you?

Just put a socket and breaker bar on it, stick a long piece of pipe over the handle and then stand on it, if that doesn't work maybe you should think about some new wheel studs because the chances are they will be stretched to all buggery. If anyone ever tries to tighten your wheels with a rattle gun again, smack them across the back of the head with it. That shit should be left to the race cars :D

thanks guys

gonna check out the pads.

have to borrow an extention bar n shit.

cheers.

Standard metric "Johnny wheelbrace" plus 2 foot (30cm) of aluminum tube, nominal bore 25 ~ 32mm 2mm wall thickness maybe, (ex scrap bin) will do the trick. It's all about controlled leverage, ;) handy for repelling boarders also.

My 2c.

Cheers GW :banana:

Edit : Too many beers.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
