i re-used the shims from the OE pads. I used centric parts rotors (that took over stoptech) that are double disk ground, so maybe it will take a little longer to bed those. Im having a hard time trying to get the rears up to temp to bed them though. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Since im kinda new here i dont know who lou is exactly. Whats his S/N so i can try and PM him to see what he did? thanks bleu!

 

When my stop tech rotors and pads were installed, the guy was a dealer and grand-am cup driver so to seat them he drove around and hard breaked them to seat it....Don't have another suggestion for ya..

 

Don't worry about bedding the rears. They don't get as much use. Take care of bedding the front brakes and the rears will be fine.

Did you use any anti squeak compound? CRC has some really cool spray that is like contact adhesive. It sprays on red. I sprayed it on the back of the pad and the shim, let it get tacky, and put it all together. I have had no noise on two cars.

 

BTW, I forgot to mention this earlier. If anyone wants to come over and watch the Super Bowl come on over. I'm having a party.

 

good lil' freezin rainy meet we had last night guys....i needed it..thanks.

 

Best super bowl commercial so far, garmin and there transforming GPS unit :P

 

i used tons of anti-squeal brake lube stuff. it is not a squeal. its a definate rotor/pad sound. It just sounds like the pads are riding against the rotors partly engaged, on both sides, all the time. my ebrake is adjusted perfect too so its not that. i know the caliper slide pins are not seized either, i lubed them up good with high temp grease.

Oh does anyone know what slider pin on the rear goes in which slot. One of the pins has a recessed ring about 1/4 inch from the tip and the other doesnt. i didnt know if that one when on the top slider or the bottom?

 

I know when I put on my EBC pads they sqweek well well past the millage point that they advertized it would go away by. more like 1000 miles for me but it's all good now.

 

Lou is Harry R . You met him at the meet, he was wearing a brown suede jacket and a knit cap.

OK, guys, got a question for you all?
It sounds like everyone is headed to FunkMaster FLex show, March 17th.
What about Spring Break Nationals, March 24-25th?
I was all set for this, and then got a reminder that the Z Nationals is being held that same weekend (March 23rd – 25th) in Georgia... Anyone here going to that, or is everyone staying local for the weekend party in Daytona?

I have been looking into the Z Nationals, and it looks like they have a lot of cool events, but it is farther away and longer (3 full days) so would require 2 extra days off. See website here: http://www.znationals.com/

It has been pointed out that in the past this has been primarily a 300Zx event, and not really for the 350Z. This of course would be based on the fact the 300zx has been out a while and we are the new guys on the block.

So, I think I will be passing on this and going to Daytona for the Spring Break Nationals. I prefer to hang with the O.Z.O.C guys at the beach anyway. You guys are a blast to hang out with
