creaky brakes!

[danh]

hello,

yes more problems with the R32 GTR!!!

last night driving around, stopped at a set of lights no harder than normal 50-0 with light braking to bring car to a stand still.

anyway, i was stopped next to a concrete wall to my left ie about 1.5m from side of car.

anyway, i pressed down on the brake pedal from where i had it to hold car still, basically to the floor and there was this loud creaking sound coming from the front left brake as i pressed the pedal down and released it.

the concrete wall allowed me to hear it from the drivers seat with windows down very very easily.

i'm not sure if it was coming from the other brakes and haven't had a chance to check it out, but it sounded like the caliper was pushing so hard on the disc rotor that it was bending the front and rear of it together, assuming the rotors are ventilated? i cant remember will have to check. they are the stock cross drilled ones though.

any ideas anyone?

i'm guessing new pads, rotors and caliper rebuild is on the cards, right?

and probably stainless lines, new fluid and whats this i keep hearing about stainless master lines or whatever?

well since i'm here, any suggestions for brake workshops in syd??

cheers guys

you can do most of it your self changing pads and rotors is easy stuff, dont pay someone to do it. Could be a small rock stuck somewhere too, but taht would be more a scrapping nose i wuould expect

yeh thats the thing, it was a cracking noise like opening a old creaky door but a metallic sound not wooden.

anyone come across this before???

I've got a similar noise on my HR31 coupe after fitting R32 GTR brakes, seems to be coming from both sides, i've pulled the pads out a couple of times & can't see anything abnormal, still investigating as i've only had the brakes on for a couple of weeks.

I had this exact same noise a little while ago in my R32 GTST... I did a full brake bleed with new fluid and it got rid of it for a while. But about a month later it came back again...

About 3 weeks ago I overhauled all callipers... Got new pads and Motul Dot 5.1 fluid, and havent heard it since. Hoping it wont come back

Cheers

yeh i'm hoping the caliper rebuild will fix it too...

as always, will let ya'll know when its done....!

i've got the same noise in my R32 GTS-t, its done it for a fair while now, it only started when i put new pads in.

I'll be getting DBA 4000 Slotted R33 Discs, R33 Calipers, braided lines, master cylinder stopper soon, so i'll see if that gets rid of it

Bleed your brakes properly and use decent fluid. The creaking usually means that there is air in the system. Its not hard, but if you are unsure of how to bleed your brakes, take it to a professional brake place like ABS or something. Its not much labour, so it shouldn't take long.

Lior.

I reckon it's because of small stones r whatever in between the brakes and the discs...i had that on my parent's car as well...heard from the mechanic you have to frequently use those high powered spray to spray at the rotors & get rid of those debries
