hey sau,

love this site and appreciate everyones help alot, i recently have got my brake pads machined and replaced but for some reason when i apply sufficient force to the brakes i can hear like a screeching similair to the sound of worn pads... its only coming from the front discs im fairly sure they arent worn allready and not sure what it could be since i have recently changed all four

regards chris

EDIT: i forgot to mention the car shudders and shakes when slowing down and force is put on the brake

Edited by hks33

got new pads and discs have been machined just when im slowing down from higher speeds and putting a sort of firm amount of pressure on the brakes i hear the noise from like worn discs but i know there not worn as they have been replaced its only coming from the front 2 or 1

This has been happening to me too, I just got my brakes replaced today, it seems to be doing the same thing. If you're looking to get your rotor's machined, let me know, I'll tag along too.

not too sure what pads im not sure if its the rotors either but i need some money first to fix the problem no use trying to figure out whats wrong without looking or getting someone to look at it

u know any brake specialists who do good prices down our way michael?

Hey Chris, there are a couple of places, but my favourite that I can recommend is JaxQuickFit. They do an awesome job on my car. The nearest one is in Hoppers Crossing, about 15 minutes from you. You could probably go to Bridgestone in St Albans Rd, they do brakes and machining too. JaxQuickFit Hoppers Crossing number is 03 9974 6477, give them a buzz tomorrow and ask for Chris. Say Michael with the R34 Skyline referred you (mates rates). Ask for an inspection, it's usually free then they consult you on what's wrong and things needed to be replaced.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
