Just noticed on my R33 GTST when I press my brake pedal about 95% down there is a clicking noise from the front right wheel area. This noise occurs regardless whether I am stopped or in motion.

I have had my brake fluid and brake pads recently changed (a little over 10,000kms ago).

Can anyone tell me the possible cause of this noise?

So this noise is there when your car is at a complete standstill? like start it up in the morning and u can hear it? Which would imply it doesnt have much to do with your brakes.

na the click is only on hard braking...

may brakes also have like a grinding noise from the right hand side...

i also have the grinding noise on my r32 gtst like you DAN, im curious on what it could be too... i thought my abs system was on the way out or air in the system its annoying

man this sounds like a common problem...

Initially I was told to get my rotors machined, which I did but no change...

does anyone know what it may be?

i would say its normal operation of the brakes, being 4 piston i would assume its the dust covers mooving in and out as you push very hard on the pedal causeing them to moove further out of the caliper.

The car doesn't have to be moving for the pedal to make the calipers press...

I lubricated the slides - all fixed! no more noise! :D

i had this exact click fixed the problem bye going to front slotted rotors and ebc red stuff no more click.

maybe the brake pads are on there way out?

i changed both rotor and pads for the front stoped that clicking noise see how you go.

cheers

Does it sound like creaking from the front callipers?

I could be wrong, but i think its the pins extending more than usual due to worn out pads/rotors. Due to them extending more to apply the same braking pressure

I got my rotors/pads replaced and sound is gone. Check your pads if they are low, replace them if so and check if the sound is gone.

    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
