just in relation of brakes etc. i have a r33 gts, now i have a only one problem with my brakes and the problem is that they squil as a mofo big time and its bloody annoying big time. now i have done everything to try and fix the problem but no luck in that department, at the moment i have bendix brakes on there normal pads, and they still make noise while im braking.

Today i rang up the nissan service department and they reckon if i put the orginal brake pads for that type of car i should have no problems at all, by the way i have slotted brake dics and its only making noise on the front brakes only.

any help in this department would be great thanks

if the pads are old / worn they may squeal.. likewise if they are brand new they may need time to wear in.. (from memory my bendix pads always made noise - i just assumed it was from all the brake dust) I just used brake cleaner from time to time, it wouldn't stop the squealing but didnt squeal all the time)

rotors may need machining too.

Don't call Nissan, they will always say genuine parts will fix the problem. Its going to be one of these:

*Brake pads very very low

*Rotors are lipped badly / unevenly worn

*Some performance brakes will squell when braking

My money is on worn rotors, go get it checked out properly. :/

^^ what he said......

I have bendix on mine and have no issue at all.......

If you have already replaced the pads, then it will most probably be rotor related squeal

yea i think it might be the rotors and the have been polished as well, cause when i got the brakes they were brand new and from day one they started squealing big time till this day today. so i have slotted rotors, where is the best place to get supplied and fitted new slotted rotors so i dont have this issue with squealing. i live in nsw,sydney by the way, and how much should i be expecting to pay for slotted rotors... i need good recommendations guys cause im sick of squealing brakes..

Sorry mate I can't recomened anyone.. I am from Vic. :D

Check in the NSW section for a good reputal workshop.

I personaly run Bendix Generals pads with RDA slotted rotors. Awesome setup.

what type of rda rotors do you have.. i was thinking of getting the RDA Gold Passivated Turbo Grooved Sports Rotors. and also the beddix general pads are they just normal ones or are they heavy duty ones and do you have any squealing issues

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
