hey sau,

love this site and appreciate everyones help alot, i recently have got my brake pads machined and replaced but for some reason when i apply sufficient force to the brakes i can hear like a screeching similair to the sound of worn pads... its only coming from the front discs im fairly sure they arent worn allready and not sure what it could be since i have recently changed all four

regards chris

EDIT: i forgot to mention the car shudders and shakes when slowing down and force is put on the brake

This has been happening to me too, I just got my brakes replaced today, it seems to be doing the same thing. If you're looking to get your rotor's machined, let me know, I'll tag along too.

Hey Chris, there are a couple of places, but my favourite that I can recommend is JaxQuickFit. They do an awesome job on my car. The nearest one is in Hoppers Crossing, about 15 minutes from you. You could probably go to Bridgestone in St Albans Rd, they do brakes and machining too. JaxQuickFit Hoppers Crossing number is 03 9974 6477, give them a buzz tomorrow and ask for Chris. Say Michael with the R34 Skyline referred you (mates rates). Ask for an inspection, it's usually free then they consult you on what's wrong and things needed to be replaced.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
