Anyone know where i can get brake shims for my R34 GTT

Story goes

My R34's front left brake is always squealing like a stabbed pig like when coming to a stop at traffic lights etc and i took it to the mechanic to machine the rotor and applied grease, it was good for 1 month then it squealed back to the same problem, this morning went to a different mechanic and they were about to grease it again but stopped and told me my brakes don't have shims on them so therefore they cannot do it and advice me to get it and come back, so i took it to my old mechanic and ask them if they can order me the specific shims but appeared to not know what shims are yet offered to machine the rotors again plus grease and maybe change the pads to cheaper ones as mine is Bendix CT but no guarantees that it will stop the squeal.

So should i buy different brake pads or try to find my specific shims, if so where?

Help is very appreciated :D

I think your after this kit : 41080-21U25. I read that this kit will be okay for both R33 Gtst and R34 Gtt calipers (as they have same size pistons). You might wanna check out wreckers and see if you can get these for cheaper. Else go to your Nissan dealer or try Nissanparts.com.au maybe? (havent used them though)
I had the same issue so I saved all the info I got during my research. However the squeal in my car was related to the aftermarket rotors so I didnt buy the kit.

Hope this helps man. Brake squeals are the worst thing to tolerate....especially in traffic!

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
