Changed front brake pads, because that is where the noise is coming from. its the right hand front wheel. i look at the pads and they still have a lot of meat on them, but changed them anyway with some fero's or whatever they are, but still no luck, was ok for like 2 days, but now squiling like crazy again. went to supercheap picked up some spray to clean and take away noises brakes, still no luck.

what do i do now? i pull up at the lights and once im almost stopped ( 10k's a hour ) this horrible squiling starts until i slam the brakes hard!

any idea's?

thanks

Itll be the discs, feel up and down them for uneven-ness and cracks. new pads will last for a bit until the cracks in the rotors cut into them and you get un-even disc/pad contact again.

You need to take the pads and the discs off and take them to a break specalist and have them machine the rotors and chamfer the pads. If the rotors are gone beyond the machining point then you will need new discs, I recomended DBA Slotted, or if you want to spend more money, DBA Slotted + Dimpeled, which are also gold passivated and zinc treated.

My front brakes were fine but would squeel like a pig just as the car was coming to a stop. My front rotors were glazed due to overheating and needed to be replaced (too thin to machine).

I had the same problem, i got my rotors machined as i had plenty of meat left on em... solved my problem too

I have this problem, I had my discs machined and pads replaced and they were noisy as hell, I took the car back and they looked at it and when I got it back they were better but still noisy..

stock rotors and Lucas pads, I havnt been back since because I have a problem with assholes pretending they know my car.

I'll be trying the spray then if that doesnt work I'll pull them down myself and do them myself..

*shakes fist in hollow rage*

they were bled , and are standard brakes. ive tried anti squil spray but no good. might go for slotted discs i think, thanks for the replies

I've got project mu slotted rotors and endless pads and they squeal. Having slots doesn't stop it squealling.

Many pads these days squeal especially performance pads under light braking.Generally if the rotors are machined and the pads bedded in properly it will lower the chances of squealing.If you have the metal shims still on the pads take them off and try the stick on anti-squeal which goes on the back of the pad.These are available from Race Brakes Sydney for about $10.

If you have performance pads or the brakes were not bedded in properly it may be to late though.

I'm actually not sure what my pads are (haven't had to change them yet) but I've personally found that my biggest problem is when my stock rotors get wet. They get a layer of surface rust almost instantly!

First few stops they squeil at low speed, but after that they're ok again.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
