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.

    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
