Hmmmm....... megs, I'll take a look at them sometime.

The great grey whale itself! Silver spec 2 33t.

Might be interested, I'll get in touch sometime.

I'm fresh out of ideas. What was the orange goo stuff? Were the disks machined as well? This could just be a characteristic of the EBC pads.

Looks like mine, so should be ok... 3 suggestions -> 1. Shouldn't happen with new pads, but the two prongs (seen at the bottom of your picture) are wear indicators and make noise when the pad has worn down enough for them to contact the rotor. If that's the case, you need to bend them back a bit or get new pads. 2. Pull the pads/shims apart, wipe them clean of dust/grime/etc and spray on some "Anti Squeak" before re-assembly. The anti squeak needs to dry before assembly. 3. My pads/shims have ONE ONLY little clip each, that goes over the corner (top left or top right of the photo) of the whole thing. They have a little hole to match the existing holes that you see. Looks like these hold the 3 pieces of the pad from moving against each other, but are so small and flimsy that I doubt that's what they're for. As I can't see these, maybe you have to have them. Hope this helps.

Thanks Graeme. Seen it To clarify, I'm not only interested in tech stuff, but also all the oft-repeated stuff that clutters up the forums.

First of all a huge thanks to skyzerr33, PranK, and so many others who are getting this club going :jump: I would love to see an FAQ linked to DIRECTLY FROM THE FORUM, perhaps through a sticky in each section. I've seen SAU (already), SDU, and other forums suffer from having too many newbie posts over and over and over and over again on the same topics. There's nothing wrong with newbies, or the fact they need basic information, but spam kills forums. **Lots of people browsing SAU, etc, would be prospective buyers of Skylines looking for info, or recent owners looking to do their first bit of basic maintenance ** BUT, after the tenth time you see "what oil should I use" or "what's the difference b/w specI/specII 33's", you kinda don't bother replying, let alone reading the thread. That lack of response can look unwelcoming to newbies. After the club admin/forum admin stuff dies down, I reckon we need to address this and build up helpful information. Then its just a matter of saying "look here and get back to me if that doesn't help". And if anyone *does* discover a fantasic new oil, or whatever, post it, get people's reaction and then modify the FAQ accordingly. Cheers, Mark. PS - SAU and SDU (in the spirit of co-operation and friendship) could easily share the FAQ. I don't like the idea of a members-only guide, and SDU's mods page is fairly disappointing.
