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

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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
