Hey guys, I recently changed rims and I have noticed a rather soft ticking when driving and brakes are cold, gets progressively louder as the brakes warm up,driver side, I had a look and the wheel is not touching the caliper, but I swapped back to stock and the noise is somewhat lessened ( further from caliper I guess it is not amplifying the noise). From what I can tell, the noise seems like it is coming from inside the caliper (when pumping the brakes on reds I can hear the noise, and I think if I have slightly warped disks the warp may be pushing the pistons in and out slightly when moving, but where could the noise be originating from? And if there is anything I can do about it? The noise is bearable with the stockies (can barely hear it) but with the rims, the spokes are quite close to the calipers so the noise is really pretty much unbearable (sounds like wheel hitting caliper when warmed up). Thanks for the help.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
