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

when i used OEM pads on my RDA slotted rotors, they squeaked like hell! i tried every fix possible

i ended up replacing the front pads wtih race brakes rb74 pads - now the car stops better and does not sequak AT ALL

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.

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
