Hi Guys,

Ok so me and couple of mates are having similar problems with our brakes squealing.

we have all had our front discs(oem) replaced and front and rear brake pads(std nissan pads) replaced.

brakes dont squeal all the time but enough to be very annoying...doesn't matter if we are going forward or in reverse.

Any ideas ppls??

I had the same problem on the front brakes. But only when i come to a stop slowly. I was told to brke a little harder and a little later for a while so the glazing/shine would come off the discs. Been trying it for a week now. and squeak is getting better. all so the De-squeck stuff from autobarn works really well. i'd say wear the discs and pads in first, then apply the dequeck to the discs. should work.

Nothing to do with anything related to a fault as such.

Simply, if the brakes where bedded in properly than it's a case of the combination of rotors and pads you're using. Some squeek others don't.

If they weren't bedded in properly you can try getting them machined and then bedding them in again.

I have heard people give the rotors a once over with some sand paper, but again if its just the combo your using then your only option is to change.

Personally I always believe that if your not doing track work, stick to Nissan pads. They have been developed not to squeek. People don't like squeeky brakes on new cars.

If you are tracking the car and have gone for a more track orientated pad/rotor then squeeking is a side effect. No real way around it. You can try different pads, but do you really have $$$'s to blow for a little squeeking.

anti squeal shims may be warn out or forgotten to be put in when changing the pads.

causes noises in both reverse and drive, very high pitched and at any speed..

Not an expensive fix 84$ i got mine and maybe $40 if you goto a workshop to fit them

You normally only bet them one at a time Waz :)

It sounds like the shims have been left out - common omission

Did you use the brake glue on both the back of the pads and on the shims, as this will definately help?

Just a light smear and it will let the pad settle in the right spot, especially good when bedding the brakes in...

If you also file a chamfer on the leading and trailing edge of the pads, it will stop a small shoulder appearing on the pads that can cause a squeal, but not normally until a bit of the pad thickness has gone.

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
