Squeal While Bedding-in Ebc's

Hi,

Just put EBC Greenstuffs and some new rotors and I am getting a massive squeal(loudest I've heard brakes squeal on a car) if I brake below about 15 km/h. This doesn't happen for a bit after braking from speed, or the first stop or two. It also didn't start happening till about 80km after I put the brakes in.

Should this be happening while the brakes bed in? In the instructions for the pads it indicates there may be a bit of noise for the first 500km but it should die down over this time. It has been doing this for 300km now and if anything today it was worse.

I have taken the car out and done the few stops that I usually do to bed in.

I know the steps to take to get rid of the squeal but I'm just wondering if there is any point until I'm past the 500km mark.

Did you machine your discs before putting the pads in or at least rough them surface up with some course 50 or 90 sandpaper ?

I put EBC greens in my car recently without doing anything to my discs because they are in great condition. Now, my breaks squeal a bit under light breaking until I get some heat into the discs, then it's all quiet. If they do start to squeal, I'll machine the discs.

In my 32, I used to get brake squeal everywhere except the track with Winmax, NISMO, Ultimates and Endless SSS pads ( had machined discs or new discs each time also ) so.........

I cleaned "everything" I could but still...........

I didn't install them because I didn't have time but I think that was the problem. After playing with the pads to try and stop them squealing with no avail I bought some stuff from CRC that you spray on the discs themselves to actually stop squeal. That worked so I guess the shop didn't machine them, next time I'm just gonna wait till I have time and do it myself.

Stuff you spray on the disc itself ? :P Thats a new one to me. Will be interested to see if the results last.

I tried the stop-squeal that you spray on the discs but it doesn't seem to have helped. Couldn't get to the inboard side of the rear discs because the heatshield goes all the way around, but I did the fronts both sides.

Yeh I'm pretty sceptical about it but the 'spray' wore off the rotors very quickly and just left a few lines where I guess there were imperfections. If these wear at the same rate as the rotor I can't see it being too bad.

I had the same squeel as well after fitting EBC greens and machined discs...its gone now...only happens occasionally when I reverse the car out of the garage early in the morning while its cold.

Hope you enjoy the brake dust that comes with it :D

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
