Dunno if this has been asked before but my brakes on the R32 sometimes develop a blood curdling squeal at low speed application. Anyone else get this problem, or more importantly, anyone know how to rectify it? It happens more intensely just after I've washed her and yes I wait for the brakes to cool down to avoid disc warping before giving her a tub.

Smiling politely

Rhys.

yeh happens to me a lot. It also depends on what pads you use cos some pads are just like that and you have to live with it....

It doesn't happen much anymore... mainly when the pads were newish.. once given some good braking abuse they went away..

I noticed that happening when I wash my car too... dunno why

Put some oil on them or WD-40... :lol:

hahahahahha..... NOT!

I think many people are fail to check their brakes...

when was last time you actually checked them takin out and look and also when was last time you tested your spare tire pressure?

back to brakes... check them or replace them.

or I think you ca get some stuff decrease noize

cheers

my old work used to sell a permatex product called, "disc brake quiet." Didn't get my hands on it though. pva-haven't checked front pads yet, but changed rears a short while ago, spare is A-OK, checked regularly as well as all fluids etc.

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
