hey guys,

i've got a ****ed up problem... i've been to a proffesional brake/suspension workshop to have a look at my brakes... but they are ****en noobs. well anywayz, to let you know my problem... is that, when my wheels get hot (after braking a certain amount of time)... theres this loud sqeeling sound coming from the wheels... and when i mean loud... i mean ****en LOUD... you can here it from a block away. my brake fluid is bleed properly, my pistons are working alright, my rotors are all recently machined, even my brake pads have been sandpapered, incase it was glazed.... and the problem is still there!!!!! i've had this noise for 12 months now guys, and i'm ****en pissed... what maybe causing this problem? could it be, that i use two different brake pads on the front and rear? which may have different temperature limits.... or should this not be a problem? i've given up man, ****en went schitzo at the mechanic... is there any place you guys recommend me to get it fixed? or any advice on how to stop this ugly noise. please guys, i'm in desperate needs...

Just a couple of thoughts. Were they bedded in properly? Procedure that works is on DBA's website. Are the shims and springs all fitted correctly? I occasionally get some squeal but only after a while without trackwork. I actually run without the shims for a firmer pedal.

what brake pads are you guys using? I heard bendix pads squeek like hell, but stop

like a cop passing a donut shop.

Try changing pads? I wud think that its pretty obvious that its when the pads are pressed

onto the rotors, and since you havent changed the rotors it wud be the pads.

It is the way the pads have been installed, and bedded in.

I used racebrakes RB74's on my car and the sqeeled like a mother fcuker! Many others quote that they get NO squeeling from them. I know now that I didn't install the shims properly when I put them in. The squeeling came at low speeds (<40 km/h).

Then I got bendix ultimates. Many have said that these squeel just as bad, but I didn't even bed them in properly, and they are fine! Not a single sound, and this is my second pair on the front! With the bendix though, I installed the shims properly.

Find out what pads you are using, and check that you have anti squeel shims. If you dont, that could be the reason, if you do, possibly give them a clean.

That's all I have to offer from my experience.

there is a long thread or two on this very issue. i had bad squealing - unbearable - with new dba 5000 and ds 2500 pads. tried everything - stick on shims, camfering pad leading and trailing edges, nothing helped. swapped 5000 discs to 4000 with no shims and the problem went away. tried lucas pads - recommended by DBA to stop the squeal - with the 5000 rotors and while the squeal is no where near as bad it has come back to some extent.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
