I didnt get any :( but i knew i had to bed them in so i did 50 to 0 fairly fast about 10 times then went to 80-0 about 5 times and they were great and i could smell them the noise only started the next day :( but i just thought it might be the rotors as they were new.

it stops very well and i am pretty happy with them when i get the new rear rotors and pads i'll get the brakes bleed with new fluid and give them a hard time see if that makes then a bit quieter :/

When all else fails anti squeal paste is your friend.

Thats one of the biggest failures out there

I'd disagree. Maybe it's the kind that you used? Try using copper grease with shims. This absolutely deleted any noise from mine. I was running DS2500 front and rear at the time and it was so loud I thought it was going to break glass. Fitted the shims with copper grease. Dead quiet.

Running pagid rs14s now, still dead quiet.

pretty sure i mentioned this on p1 and no one noticed....

copper grease on the shims will kill ALOT if not all the noise

what sort of braking conditions are you guys referring to the squeaking with? my r32 has been doing this really bad since i've had it. it has slotted rotors and it squeaks only under very light braking, e.g when im rolling up to a red light and slowly coming to a stop thats where i get this horrible loud squeaking it drives me nuts. on two occasions i've had my rotors machined and it stopped the squeaking for about a week then back to normal. my old garage suggested it could be the pads but i've never gone to the trouble of replacing them when apart from the noise they work fine. the pads do seem to produce a lot of brake dust though. if i clean my rims then maybe after like another 2 days theyr filthy again with brake dust.. does that say anything with regards to the quality of the brake pads?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
