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.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha

      I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.

      Nah he was mega organised, the sort of guy that put (almost) every tool back every day, it made trying to work out where things were up to possible.  My shed needs a swedish death clean, I would have >20 part done jobs, its particularly hard to collect all required parts for a job ahead of time when you can't just pop into a shop and grab things
