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.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
