my brakes squeal like wounded cops when moderate braking.... under hard braking, there's no noise, but under light/moderate braking...... sounds like a bad day in an Alabama slaughterhouse.

one suggestion i had from a guy at repco is that when my current pads were installed, they weren't bedded in properly and got cooked from using them too hard to soon, and subsequently my discs get glazed really easy. probable solution: replace pads and machine the discs. does that sound about right or could i be missing something really, really important?

i had the same problem with mine and my disc's were very glazed but luckily the pads were fine, so i replaced all the disc's to slotted ones slightly bigger, i figured this would be important since eventually i would want something to help me stop alot easier when i needed, the guy who done my brakes didnt wanna machine them coz he thought it woulda taken too much off my disc's but i know a few ppl who have machined em and there fine i just went for a replacement...

Machining your disks (F&R) will help for a little while but will not cure the problem... Better quality pads will help but if they are only new pads you probably don't want to throw them away.

PBR make an anti squeel goo which worked wonders for me... Also make sure all the shims are installed on the pads.

Other suggestions include lightly sanding the pads to unglaze them and cutting a vertical line through the pad to reduce dust buildup.

The best solution would be a set of slotted rotors (DBA) with good quality pads (Not Bendix).

I think the Sumitomo braking system on 33's is notoriously noisy...

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
