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.

  • 3 weeks later...
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!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
