Just noticed on my R33 GTST when I press my brake pedal about 95% down there is a clicking noise from the front right wheel area. This noise occurs regardless whether I am stopped or in motion.

I have had my brake fluid and brake pads recently changed (a little over 10,000kms ago).

Can anyone tell me the possible cause of this noise?

So this noise is there when your car is at a complete standstill? like start it up in the morning and u can hear it? Which would imply it doesnt have much to do with your brakes.

na the click is only on hard braking...

may brakes also have like a grinding noise from the right hand side...

i also have the grinding noise on my r32 gtst like you DAN, im curious on what it could be too... i thought my abs system was on the way out or air in the system its annoying

man this sounds like a common problem...

Initially I was told to get my rotors machined, which I did but no change...

does anyone know what it may be?

i would say its normal operation of the brakes, being 4 piston i would assume its the dust covers mooving in and out as you push very hard on the pedal causeing them to moove further out of the caliper.

The car doesn't have to be moving for the pedal to make the calipers press...

I lubricated the slides - all fixed! no more noise! :D

i had this exact click fixed the problem bye going to front slotted rotors and ebc red stuff no more click.

maybe the brake pads are on there way out?

i changed both rotor and pads for the front stoped that clicking noise see how you go.

Does it sound like creaking from the front callipers?

I could be wrong, but i think its the pins extending more than usual due to worn out pads/rotors. Due to them extending more to apply the same braking pressure

I got my rotors/pads replaced and sound is gone. Check your pads if they are low, replace them if so and check if the sound is gone.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
