When my rotors are cold the brakes like to squeak...

also when alot of pressure is applied to the brakes when stopped there is a crunching noise.. kinda shound like the pad is slipping on the disc or something.. it happens with both front brakes only....

I have been told this might be the piston being dirty etc?

should i take them out/ give them a clean and a bleed?

brakes still work fine but can feel this crunching through the pedal when heavy braking...

Its an R32 with the bigger brakes with nissan on the side..

thanks

Ed

has this happened recently after u changed anything?? could just be the pads maybe??

my friend had this horrible crunching when breakin in his A3 turbo.....audio mech said it was something to do with his ABS unit/sensors or something like that. probably irrelivant but something to consider?

Definately take out the brake pads and give them a check. Easy to do, minimal tools required. TAke off wheel, and the on brake calliper make sure the pins are all in ok, then take them out and check the pads. Make sure the shims are in place correctly. there is a thread on how to take out/check them etc. are the brake pads new? are the due for a replacement? shit brake pads can be the cause of this. give them a sand all over with emery/sand paper to take off any glazed parts of the brake pad. Check rotors - is the rotor surface smooth? any ripples? perhaps you need your rotors machined and made nice and smooth. good luck.

i think the pads are reasonably new...

ill take them to a mate and we will pull it all apart and have a look at it...

kinda sounds like the pad is slipping on the disc so that might be it.....

will let u know the verdict..

thanks for the help guys

You should be able to tell if its she ABS, coz you can feel the brake pedal moving under your foot as the brake pressure is automatically adjusted.

Sounds like the pads. I had a crunching grinding noise when braking. Was caused by worn rear pads. Check your rotors also. Might be ablr to see rings in them where metal has ground out ridges in them. I had to have them skimmed back to smooth them out.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
