I finished up my z32/r33 gt25t brake swap today and tested it out. First off, I have to re-bleed the calipers since I have a squishy pedal feel. But I also noticed a squeaking sound coming from the passenger side of my car. Not sure if it's front or rear but it's not a constant squeaking. It's more like periodic e.g. a sine wave. It happens when I get up to speed probably +20 mph and I'm not even pushing the brake pedal in. It was dark so I couldn't see if anything was rubbing, it didn't FEEL like anything was rubbing...I did take the hubs off the front and rear - front to take off dust shield and rear to install e-brake. Torqued them back to ~180 ft lbs though.

Also, how much adjusting does the e-brake handle need after installing r33 cables? I adjusted the rotor piece within 5-6 clicks like the fsm states. It seems like if I tighten the nut anymore then the cable will poke out the handle cover.
