Hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone could recommend some good brake specialists around the metro VIC area... I am in the SE suburbs but would probably drive up to Darwin to get my brakes to stop squealing so bad! A cop almost wanted to defect me for them today! load of Cr*p! SOOO I promised him I would see a brake specialist as soon as possible... so I am being a good boy!

Thaanks!

racebrakes are in north melbourne, 2 seconds from the city

they should be able to help you out

the squeak is from the compound of the pads you are using

try different pads, bed them in, fry em and away you go

thanks bud, any others you can think of?

and I have done soooo many things.....

some new crappy feddro pads.....nothing... changed to bendix general under some advice that ultimates are too firm.... did nothing... machined the rotors... did nothing... changed to ultimates... nothing... anti squeel stuff.... nothing... shimmed... nothing... sanded pads back to a bit more rough... lasted 5 mins... I am sick of it!!!!

lots of disapointment!!!

are you using all the shims behind the pads?

i also used racebrakes, they've moved to yarraville now.

Thanks for the help guys, I ended up going to brakes plus in Burwood today, they were very handy and installed some premium QFC pads in the car for 140 bucks including labour...and so far so good :ermm: no squeaks... Im bloody happy....for now :D

Try Lucas brake pads better than ultimates can take like 600 + degrees and does not squeel and good on your rotors, i use them on my skyline silent as no problems, only down side is allot of brake dust but i dont care about brake dust only squeeling matters for me and i clean my mags when i clean car so who cares, also you should try the maintenance part of the forum under brakes and suspension and search it up lots of threads about it buddy

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Br...gs-t169972.html read this thread all about brake pads and if they squeel i payed like 100 + for my pads i spend more to get good quality dont use cheap ferodos

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
