just in relation of brakes etc. i have a r33 gts, now i have a only one problem with my brakes and the problem is that they squil as a mofo big time and its bloody annoying big time. now i have done everything to try and fix the problem but no luck in that department, at the moment i have bendix brakes on there normal pads, and they still make noise while im braking.

Today i rang up the nissan service department and they reckon if i put the orginal brake pads for that type of car i should have no problems at all, by the way i have slotted brake dics and its only making noise on the front brakes only.

any help in this department would be great thanks

if the pads are old / worn they may squeal.. likewise if they are brand new they may need time to wear in.. (from memory my bendix pads always made noise - i just assumed it was from all the brake dust) I just used brake cleaner from time to time, it wouldn't stop the squealing but didnt squeal all the time)

rotors may need machining too.

Don't call Nissan, they will always say genuine parts will fix the problem. Its going to be one of these:

*Brake pads very very low

*Rotors are lipped badly / unevenly worn

*Some performance brakes will squell when braking

My money is on worn rotors, go get it checked out properly. :/

^^ what he said......

I have bendix on mine and have no issue at all.......

If you have already replaced the pads, then it will most probably be rotor related squeal

yea i think it might be the rotors and the have been polished as well, cause when i got the brakes they were brand new and from day one they started squealing big time till this day today. so i have slotted rotors, where is the best place to get supplied and fitted new slotted rotors so i dont have this issue with squealing. i live in nsw,sydney by the way, and how much should i be expecting to pay for slotted rotors... i need good recommendations guys cause im sick of squealing brakes..

I personaly run Bendix Generals pads with RDA slotted rotors. Awesome setup.

what type of rda rotors do you have.. i was thinking of getting the RDA Gold Passivated Turbo Grooved Sports Rotors. and also the beddix general pads are they just normal ones or are they heavy duty ones and do you have any squealing issues

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
