have ya checked how much ya got left on ya pads? are the low or are they new?

i know my rears made a lil bit of a scrapping sound when they were new, it has protty much stopped

I believe excessive dust can cause squeeling. Everytime you wash it out its ok. Maybe the pads your using have a high dust release content. Also check your rotors for grooves..maybe you got a small stone or chip stuck between the pad and rotor?

From wat i can see i have plenty left. R33 Racer i do live on 300metres of dirt road so im guessing that could be the case i have looked for a groove in the rotor an none there. But the thing that is puzzling me is i have had the car for over 12 months an this is the first time it has happened o well im changing the pads tomorrow so hopefully it will fix it. Cheers Jamie

might want to hit it with some brake cleaner, it's quite common for brakes to squeek (sit at a busy intersection for 10 minutes and every second car will have brake squeek), it's usually not a major problem, more of an annoyance. It's basically caused by the back of the brake pad vibrating/rubbing against where it touches the caliper, normally you put some anti-squeel grease on it when you put pads in.

You can get free brake safety checks at most brake places so might be an idea to go down and get their opinion on it.
