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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
