Hey all, just replaced the pads on my m35. At light braking pressure and low speeds im getting a slight grinding noise from the front left (i think?)

Made sure everything went back on as i took it off.

Slides arent sticking, greased them up.

What have i done wrong..

Yup, I use them in the stagea. Looking back, I was probably over vigorous bedding, but mine have performed fine on road and track up to their supposed max temp.

Take the suspect side apart again and have a look what's going on. You could have bumped the dust shield, or might be something scraping, or you might have installed the pad metal to metal or shim in the wrong location for all we can help you on the net!

mine have a slight squeal sometimes, I just put hpx's on new slotted/dimpled rotors. I was a little over vigerous in bedding in aswell. stopped at intersection and had a little smoke... :S

    • 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.
