I bought my r34 a couple if weeks back. First thing I did was changed the front brake pads. Was easy enough. I got like bendix general pads for it. They're fine most of the time. But when I get heavy on them, they scream like a woman giving birth >.< how do I stop it?

This has been answered many times - try searching for it.

lol why is it whenever a question gets asked on this forum the response is "its already been asked, go search for it" and then you do and your question isn't completely answered so you ask it there and get "gg on bringing up a thread from 2006". 9 times out of 10 it would be just as easy to answer the question as it would be to tell someone to go and look for the thread from 3 year ago.

If the question was that common, it would be stickied - its not so I don't wanna go searching for an old thread, I just want to know why my brakes are screaming.

The reason I do it is that I cant see the point in repeating the same advice over and over again.

and then you do and your question isn't completely answered

Yeah but at least we then know that you've bothered to do your homework, and been through the obvious/usual problems. Typically the question *will* be answered.

Have you considered the possibility that you might not be asking the question well?

so you ask it there and get "gg on bringing up a thread from 2006". 9 times out of 10 it would be just as easy to answer the question as it would be to tell someone to go and look for the thread from 3 year ago.

Easier for who?

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

If the question was that common, it would be stickied

I disagree. Very little is stickied. Have another look.

- its not so I don't wanna go searching for an old thread, I just want to know why my brakes are screaming.

You cant be bothered to do the simplest thing to help yourself?

I'm not going to give you a fish, but here's how you can learn to fish

Probably because it has?

I put "squealing" into the search

1st page returned 10 threads, some of them are 3 pages long.

It's one thing to put one word into the search and give up, it's another to try a 2nd word and find a dozen results.

Whilst i can understand it's upsetting for newbies to have their threads closed, have a think about the people who've answered the same question over, and over. Do them some justice for giving their time/advice for free.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
