Extreme Rear Brake Rattles

Picked up my new Black R35 GTR 4 weeks ago. There is a constant rattle in the back. When I apply the brakes, the noise goes away.

The dealer said it is normal and because the brake pads are undersized so they will not jam when they expand from heat on track days. Therefore they rattle.

They said all new R35 GTR's are the same. Surely not, every time a friend gets in the car they are amazed at how loud the brakes rattle. Makes the car sound and feel cheap. Not a good thing for a car that costs near $200K.

Other than the brakes, I love the car!

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW I CAN FIX IT, BECAUSE NISSAN SEEMS TO THINK IT IS OK??????????

IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's the pad retainer clips. Is your car 2010 model? One of my friends is getting the HPC to order one from Japan. Check with the HPC first.

Thanks RCCC

It is a 2010 model.

The Nissan guy told me they come with a retainer clip standard?

Who or what is the HPC?

Also, does anybody else suffer this problem?

Many thanks!

rear pad rattle is "normal" however i would never call it "extreme". Just the odd clunk/clank. maybe something else going on if it really is extreme. you could try putting anti-squal (stick-on) shims (rear pads dont have them, whereas fronts do). if you are in sydney i have a bunch of the stick on anti-rattle shims if you want to try those.

you'll find as the pad meat gets less and less they cavitate around more

Thanks Guy's!!!!!

With the information you provided, I should be able to get it fixed.

Next!!!!

I am only one week away from my first 2,000K service and have decided that, straight after, I will install the full cat (primary) back 'Willel Racing' Titanium Exhaust system, Cobb access tuner, enlarged cold air tubes kit & filters from the air filter boxes to the engine intake plennum, as well as cold air ram/funnel intakes for cold positive pressure air delivery through to the front of the air filter boxes.

What sort of AWHP gain should I expect to see. Anyone know what sort of 0-100K and 400 mtr gains?

Also, any recommendations or added suggestions on my choices???

Thanks again.

Based on my experience these changes should see yo achieve btw 340 and 360 atw, and a 0-100 of 3.4seconds (from 3.7). Maybe an 11.3 quarter.

Do the dump pipes and intercooler pipes and boost controller and youll see a reliable 370 -380 (I had actuators too). I can do a reliable 3.0 0- 100, and high ten second quarter mile on standard 98 gas.

If you have bigger future plans, go straight for the 4 inch exhaust system. My HKS midpipe and dump pipes are fore sale shortly otherwise.

Thanks John D!

My Nissan service guy came up with a good fix. He used a bead of brake sealer Around the pad perimeter and it is now perfect. However next service I will add the 09 retainers!

My dealer also fitted a Willall mid pipe for me, what a difference and u win on all fronts, weight, power and sound!

I am looking forward to my first sprint day at QR to try my car out for the first time.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
