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.

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!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
