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

Edited by hks33

got new pads and discs have been machined just when im slowing down from higher speeds and putting a sort of firm amount of pressure on the brakes i hear the noise from like worn discs but i know there not worn as they have been replaced its only coming from the front 2 or 1

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.

not too sure what pads im not sure if its the rotors either but i need some money first to fix the problem no use trying to figure out whats wrong without looking or getting someone to look at it

u know any brake specialists who do good prices down our way michael?

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.

    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
