Squeal came back, so just went and bought some soft compound pads, worked like a charm, no more squeal.
Only bad thing is, they dont stop as good as my other pads haha ):

Thanks for all the help and advice guys, really appreciate it :)

Didn't you say to give it a week to judge the squeel?

Yea i gave the chamfered/sanded ones a week because i could hear a different frequency of squeal, which from past experiences resulted in the frequency getting worse and worse. But with these pads, there was no noise at all :/

I did a few hard brakes, went to a industrial are and did a few u turns and different styles of braking to get the brakes to squeal and no noise! :D Did some light braking, heavy braking, braking in car parks, braking with the steering wheel in full lock, steering wheel in half lock etc...., and no noise at all, not even at the slightest. Where as last week, even though the pads were sanded, i still had some level of squeel ( @ < 10kph) which i was willing to live with, until it got back to its horrible form like it did last night (@ < 50kph x 1000000 decibles) :P

Pads are rather spongy though. Perfect for my daily drives though.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
