I have a R33 GTS-t with the stock 4-pot calipers and freshly machined discs.

I read arround the forums that the stock OEM brake pads have these anti-Squeal shims

My mechanic told me that these are missing from all 4 corners of my brake assembly.

So does anyone know where I can find replacement for these?

because my brakes Squeal like banshees, can be heard from miles away.

They are even worse once I replaced the pads with a set of Endless SSS pads

that's gold. where do i buy genuine nissan parts??? hmmmm. nissan?

oh cut me some slack, just wanted to make sure all the bases were covered ehheh

Anyway,

Part Code: 41080K

Part Number: 41080-21U25 "HARDWARE KIT - FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD"

thanks for that MerlinTheHapyPig

Is this for the pad kit? would it be possible to just get shims?

cheers

according to the pic i posted. This includes the backing plates, the anti-squeel plates, a couple of funny clip things and some paste or grease of some description (you'll see there are lines coming from the Part Code highlighted in red on the diagram)

Pads are a separate number - part code 41000K includes the pads and the wire clip. Part Code 41092 is for the spring.

I think they are separate, ask the nissan dealer (price should be a good indication. I'd expect the shims to cost aound $30 or so, the pads would be at least $60 per side.

I had to buy that damn spring (41092) and it was around $10, anyway, see how you go.

or.. you cold drop into a subaru dealer and ask one of the mechanics for some shims of a wrx. (the same) as you get new shims with new subi pads :D and i had a sizable pile of them i through out aopn leaving

Im about to try this out, is there any specific model of WRX I should look for? which year? or are they all the same?

pretty much any sumitomo 4 pot caliper aka db1170 brake pad.

sooo... toyota landcruiser/hilux

subaru wrx 98--->current

nissan s14/15/skyline obvoiusly etc etc

just pop ito a dealer. ive got some anyway in my tool box.

you dont really need them anyway. if they are squeeling badly it the pad compound anyway. just grease up the parts wich come into contact with the caliper with moly lube. also chamfer the edges of the pad(take the sharp edge off the leading and trailing edge of the pad. and de-glase them by rubbing the pads on a flat concreete surface.

Hey Bl4cK32, was wondering if you could describe where parts 3&4 go in the brake assembly? I cant really tell from the nissan FAST software picture

OK this is from memory, but:

1. goes in between the pad and number 2.

2. goes in between number 1 and the pistons pushing on the pad. ( ie install #2, #1, then pad on one side)

3. is tha clip that #6 goes through. It clips to the end of the pad to hold 1, 2 and the pad together. Sort of hard to explain without seeing a workshop manual. Search here for it, or ill dig one up.

4. is the copper grease. Put a schmear between each shim, and the back of the pad.

People say u dont need em, but ive never had pad sqeal (with rb74's) and ive never chamfered the edge of the pads.

Edited by Bl4cK32

Its really catching on isn't it..

Me too, beats me why they would be left out in the first place, speshly

when the squeak is soo annoying.

I'll be hassling one and all for a set asap!!!!!!!!!

I located the correct Part numbers for the HARDWARE KIT from Nissan (R32 GTR/Z32 300ZX).

FRONT: 41080-40P27

REAR: 44080-43P25

The each kit includes: shims, clips, grease.

MELB: City Nissan (Parts), 189 Arden St, PH: 03 8359 2244

Hope this helps anyone!

    • That may not be so tricky with a changeover relay (again, with LED indicator only to reduce load on existing headlight + source)  30 to indicator + globe side 86 and 87 to headlight parker + 87a to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth repeat on each corner, sorted, no diode required
    • There might have been some "hard core" decalcification going on in the cells to create that noise As for chargers, I stick all our cars on a trickle charger every few months to "clean out their pipes/cells", the Mrs battery in her Mistsu ASX is still running its OEM from new battery 10 years on, and that thing does alot of short drives, and it can sit around for ages without a good long run
    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
