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?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
