Squeal came back, so just went and bought some soft compound pads, worked like a charm, no more squeal.
Only bad thing is, they dont stop as good as my other pads haha ):

Thanks for all the help and advice guys, really appreciate it :)

Didn't you say to give it a week to judge the squeel?

Yea i gave the chamfered/sanded ones a week because i could hear a different frequency of squeal, which from past experiences resulted in the frequency getting worse and worse. But with these pads, there was no noise at all :/

I did a few hard brakes, went to a industrial are and did a few u turns and different styles of braking to get the brakes to squeal and no noise! :D Did some light braking, heavy braking, braking in car parks, braking with the steering wheel in full lock, steering wheel in half lock etc...., and no noise at all, not even at the slightest. Where as last week, even though the pads were sanded, i still had some level of squeel ( @ < 10kph) which i was willing to live with, until it got back to its horrible form like it did last night (@ < 50kph x 1000000 decibles) :P

Pads are rather spongy though. Perfect for my daily drives though.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
