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

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

the discs are warped or the discs mounting surface has rust on it causing it to not seat perfectly flat

, did you get a mechanic to replace the pads and machine the discs?

take it back and ask them to check it for u. they shouldnt charge you anything if they were done recently.

other than that if they were not bedded in correctly they might be glazed and warped from any hard braking you have done.

hopefully there not warped there not rusty either because had all 4 replaced and machined recently its just the noise the front two or front one which is a problem

If they were working ok ei. not shuddering or screeching before then they started it would be due to improper wear in of the pads. If you don't wear the pads in properly they glaze as DVS32R said. Glazing makes them squeel, then over heats your rotors causing them to warp and gives you shudder.

    • 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.
