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?

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.

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.

If the question was that common, it would be stickied

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

- its not so I don't wanna go searching for an old thread, I just want to know why my brakes are screaming.

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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
