The problem is that when I am coming to a stop I get a realy bad almity HIGH PITCH screatch. which is the worst I have ever heard breaks Screatch, I did a search and found some help (eg: anti squeal red stuff which I used) but had no sucess in geting them fixed my mechanic had a few looks at it but unfortunantley has not been able to fix the problem. is there anyone who has had the same problem if so how do I fix it ? and help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Wink Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Try different pads/discs combinations? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118894-breaks/#findComment-2189912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Guys Hey i had the exact same problem a few months ago. I had the discs machined, swapped twice and it was still like that. Both the pads (bendix ultimate) and discs were brand new when the screeching started. Finally, the workshop decided to change the pads and tadaaa the sound was gone. It seemed it was the pads fault. So from what I have learnt, unless the rotors are glazed, which wouldnt be the case with yours since you machined em, it would be the pads problem. Try and determine which side the squeal is coming from and that should be the faulty pad. You shouldnt have to use the anti squeal stuff on brand new pads, which is only supposed to be used as a stop gap measure on ancient worn down ones until you can afford new ones. Hope that helps, cheers. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118894-breaks/#findComment-2195935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
75coupe Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I have replaced my rotors and pads recently with RDA rotors and Bendix Ultimates (dusty bastards). The one thing I found is that Bendix part catalogue has the wrong brake pads listed for the R33. I spoke to Bendix and they confirmed to me that their parts catalogue was wrong for R33 Skylines and that it was fixed but the new catalogues were not distributed as yet... The person at Bendix I spoke to owned a R32 GTR and said he had the same problem and that the part number he gave me was guaranteed to be right, sorry I didn't keep that part number for you... So I took em back and got them to order in the other ones... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118894-breaks/#findComment-2196211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
satanic Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've noticed that I get "screetching" too when I first start the car up and drive off... I attribute it to cold discs/pads as the sound goes away after a minute worth of driving.

lukits01 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I have the same problem with mine Ive been told that my pads are missing those anti squeal shims that came with the stock pads. Any idea where I can get these? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/118894-breaks/#findComment-2199361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r33skylinegtst Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Same problem here. Guess i'll have to take the car back to my mechanic (don't know how to do much on the car myself). It desnt happen at first, but after a few times of braking, or one hard brake, it does it non-stop. It's getting rather embarrassing too, people keep looking at the car in the street. Cheers!

madbung Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Take the car back and let them drive the squealing bitch if they don't believe you.. As for your problem it'll most probably be caused by too much brass in the brake pad, dodgy batches slip through every so often.....The solution is to exchange the pads for another set and try again. It doesn't happen very often but in the past 2 yrs i've seen it twice on my cars.

PMATT Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Some pads squeal but it is usually the harmonics , evo's do it all the time when genuine pads are not used.The part no should not be a problem because they are a different shape for each part no so the wrong part no would not have fit in. If you have BENDIX pads in they offer a replacement warranty it is written on the box.
