2000 R34gtt

i changed my brake pads, front and rear, and as i was changing the front i noticed that the pads that were on teh car had 2 metal peices on the back of the pad, 1 peice is the size of the comeplet pad and the other half the size of the pad...

now i put these peices onto the new pad, but i didnt on the rear as i didnt notice it until after the fronts...now should i remove this peice as i am thinking it may have been specificly for the type of pad that was previously on the car?

changed to bendix CT standard pads

ive noticed a metal noise when i drive past fences i thought it could be that moving around

thanks

The 2 metal pieces are the brake shims (they are factory items and are meant to be taken off the old pads and put on the replacements pads), they're there to prevent audible vibration under braking (and are supposed to be greased as well). If the noise is bothering you, just put the shims back on and make sure to grease them with copper grease.

just another word of advice

if the brake pads came with shims, use them

i change to green stuff which came with there own shims. I used the factory ones first, and they were quite noisey

so i change to the ones that they gave me, and they have made no noise since =)

the noise is an annoying metaly cling scrapey type noise, not too loud tho, and thats wiht the metal shims (not greesed tho)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
