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.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      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 .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
