heya....

when i drive my car, with the windows down, at speeds around 30 - 40km/h, there is a screech screech screech kinda sound. frequency increases with speed.

i kinda figured maybe one of the brake discs were warped and were periodically just rubbing themselves on the brake bad henceforth the screeching cause under braking, the sound doesnt come.

could it be nething else?

only happened recently when i got the front shockies changed.

have you had the disk machined yet? not sure what sound is like, but were the shocks them same as what was replaced? if not the wheel might be warped and rubbing on the shock... what kind of clearance is there???

Some pads (probably factory pads, not sure but mine had them either way) have a metal bracket on the inside, which touches on the metal disc when the pad gets low. This will make a metallic screeching noise which is really annoying. Either the noise itself is meant to be the warning or it was originally designed to hook up to a circuit like on some cars (but not apparently on Skylines) that show a light in the dash to tell you when the pads are low.

Screeching could be many things, this is just one possibility. Usually it's glazing or something.

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
