Zomg! My Brakes Are Eating Into My Rotors!


Recommended Posts

I was getting this terrible grinding groaning sound and couldn't figure it out. It bugged me for a few days, then I checked agian thsi morning and realised my calipers/pads are eating into my rear rotors X_X! !@#$#@%!%!#$@

Anyone kind enough to bring me a set of rear pads to Macquarie Park, Sydney so I can head to the mechs to get it swapped? :P I'm stuck at work now

Just to update, it was in fact, my WHEEL SPACERS. Freak, the hell if I even knew I had them!!! They're like center hub rings but inched out to set the wheel out more.....

Mechanic removed them and walla, good as new. They were originally attached to my WEDS that i picked up from a Jap wrecker, so whoever the dori dori had it on before, must have used those....

It totally slipped my mind, as I saw them as center hub rings.....

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I would like to get some feedback for the r tune pads. How are they like in terms of performance, dust and noise (sqeaking)?

Hey,

dust is low, squeaking yes... but not annoying

I havne't been able to track it yet, but it sure bites. Hard to tell for just the rears...

Cheers mate. Hopefully the squeaking isnt really bad... and also low dust is good since I have white rims... Hahaha

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
