I have a R33 GTS-t with the stock 4-pot calipers and freshly machined discs.

I read arround the forums that the stock OEM brake pads have these anti-Squeal shims

My mechanic told me that these are missing from all 4 corners of my brake assembly.

So does anyone know where I can find replacement for these?

because my brakes Squeal like banshees, can be heard from miles away.

They are even worse once I replaced the pads with a set of Endless SSS pads

Is this for the pad kit? would it be possible to just get shims?

according to the pic i posted. This includes the backing plates, the anti-squeel plates, a couple of funny clip things and some paste or grease of some description (you'll see there are lines coming from the Part Code highlighted in red on the diagram)

Pads are a separate number - part code 41000K includes the pads and the wire clip. Part Code 41092 is for the spring.

I think they are separate, ask the nissan dealer (price should be a good indication. I'd expect the shims to cost aound $30 or so, the pads would be at least $60 per side.

I had to buy that damn spring (41092) and it was around $10, anyway, see how you go.

pretty much any sumitomo 4 pot caliper aka db1170 brake pad.

sooo... toyota landcruiser/hilux

subaru wrx 98--->current

nissan s14/15/skyline obvoiusly etc etc

just pop ito a dealer. ive got some anyway in my tool box.

you dont really need them anyway. if they are squeeling badly it the pad compound anyway. just grease up the parts wich come into contact with the caliper with moly lube. also chamfer the edges of the pad(take the sharp edge off the leading and trailing edge of the pad. and de-glase them by rubbing the pads on a flat concreete surface.

Hey Bl4cK32, was wondering if you could describe where parts 3&4 go in the brake assembly? I cant really tell from the nissan FAST software picture

OK this is from memory, but:

1. goes in between the pad and number 2.

2. goes in between number 1 and the pistons pushing on the pad. ( ie install #2, #1, then pad on one side)

3. is tha clip that #6 goes through. It clips to the end of the pad to hold 1, 2 and the pad together. Sort of hard to explain without seeing a workshop manual. Search here for it, or ill dig one up.

4. is the copper grease. Put a schmear between each shim, and the back of the pad.

People say u dont need em, but ive never had pad sqeal (with rb74's) and ive never chamfered the edge of the pads.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      One of the first jobs with the E39 is making sure the tailgate stays up. In BMW fashion they made a little cavity under the roof to hide the dampers rather than putting them down the side like everybody else.  As you can see I have these little cavities that house the dampers. When I cleared one out and vacuumed as much crap as I could out of it I noticed a fair bit of rust. The cavity is bone dry, even after all that rain we had only a few days ago so I'm assuming that whatever allowed the moisture in is fixed but I'd like to treat the rust in there.  I was thinking of just blasting it full of rust converter but I didn't know if this would be beneficial considering I can't actually get in there to prep anything.  Maybe there's a better product?  Thanks guys

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The stock boost solenoid is just a valve. Power it and it is open. Unpowered, it is closed. When it is closed, there is no boost bleed out through the solenoid back to the inlet. The wastegate sees all the boost pressure, thus you get the wastegate's spring pressure as your boost pressure. 5 psi. When it is open, it lets some boost escape. This causes the static (boost) pressure in the line to the wastegate to be lower than the pressure in the intercooler pipe. There is probably a small restrictor in the solenoid or one of its lines to limit the flow rate of the escaping air, which limits how far the static pressure can fall, which limits the extra boost. The boost has to climb above the original/wastegate setpoint until the wastegate sees 5 psi. You get 7 psi in the intercooler pipework. A manual boost controller is exactly the same setup, just without the ability to change it on-off. It's always set to whatever you set it to. There is a small leak from the boost controller. The more you screw the adjuster in, the more it leaks, the lower the pressure seen at the wastegate and the higher the boost will be. So, yes, your diagrams are correct.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, Apologies in advance if this feels like a topic covered multiple times. I'm only asking because some of the old topics I found are missing images now. I'm in the process of getting a manual boost controller (BC). Nothing fancy, just getting a manual one for now as I don't plan to go crazy with it and would not go over 10 PSI. My car is not jacked up on boost steroids to do crazy numbers. I want to understand the OEM setup of the boost solenoid and vacuum lines on the R34 GTT so I know what needs to be changed when I do install the BC. I sketched the current setup to the best I could see and it's on the diagram attached. If the boost controller 'Wastegate Arrow' goes from nipple 1 to 2. My understanding is that the red vacuum line's "F" connector-end should be connected to BC nipple #2? Nipple #1 is meant to have the "pressure source" so what vacuum line would that be? Is it the green vacuum line?  From what I have read here, the OEM boost solenoid is not used at this point. So that can come out and then I can just plug the nipple that usually connects to the blue vacuum line?  So would the final setup look something like this?   Thanks in advance. I don't want to already be knee-deep into pulling out vacuum lines before understanding this. I'm a noob when it comes to boost setups so trying to learn as I go.
