I bought my r34 a couple if weeks back. First thing I did was changed the front brake pads. Was easy enough. I got like bendix general pads for it. They're fine most of the time. But when I get heavy on them, they scream like a woman giving birth >.< how do I stop it?

This has been answered many times - try searching for it.

lol why is it whenever a question gets asked on this forum the response is "its already been asked, go search for it" and then you do and your question isn't completely answered so you ask it there and get "gg on bringing up a thread from 2006". 9 times out of 10 it would be just as easy to answer the question as it would be to tell someone to go and look for the thread from 3 year ago.

If the question was that common, it would be stickied - its not so I don't wanna go searching for an old thread, I just want to know why my brakes are screaming.

The reason I do it is that I cant see the point in repeating the same advice over and over again.

and then you do and your question isn't completely answered

Yeah but at least we then know that you've bothered to do your homework, and been through the obvious/usual problems. Typically the question *will* be answered.

Have you considered the possibility that you might not be asking the question well?

Easier for who?

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

I disagree. Very little is stickied. Have another look.

You cant be bothered to do the simplest thing to help yourself?

I'm not going to give you a fish, but here's how you can learn to fish

Probably because it has?

I put "squealing" into the search

1st page returned 10 threads, some of them are 3 pages long.

It's one thing to put one word into the search and give up, it's another to try a 2nd word and find a dozen results.

Whilst i can understand it's upsetting for newbies to have their threads closed, have a think about the people who've answered the same question over, and over. Do them some justice for giving their time/advice for free.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
