hey guys,

I have an R33 GTS-T 95, I justy got my breaks changed and the mechanic said that the R33 pads are diffrent then the ones I have on the car therefore we tried the R34 which fit staight on (not sure if its an upgrade in breaks or what)

I got the discs machined and changed all four pads. 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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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.

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
