Hey guys, just a few hours ago i noticed this kind of screeching sound (kinda like worn out brakes being applied) coming from my rear wheel. The squeak is only present at slow speeds, as i speed up it disappears. My brakes have been serviced with new brake pads, as well as the brake fluids flushed out so i dont think its the cause of the squeaks. I made sure the hand brake was down as well. To eliminate the possibility of it being the handbrake, i attempted to slow the car down using the handbrake (to identify if the squeak would get louder or change in tone) while the wheel was squeaking, the squeak still persisted making the same noise, I already read through another forum but there was no answer, just people reporting they had the same problem. Theres no smoke or anything coming from the wheel, my guess is that its a wheel bearing problem but not 100% =/

Yeah iv had a mate whose dad didnt put the wheel nuts on tight enough n it made that noise.

could be some crap in the disc/pad making a noise, Just because they have been done/serviced recently doesnt mean it isnt this.

or indeed be the bearings (and worth sussing out the true cause soon in case it is this...)

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
