Justthejedi Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 On the M25 today, crawling along as usual, outside lane .....I noticed an odd metallic tinking or rattle noise under gentle braking but I only heard it as my window was down, radio off and the noise was bouncing off the concrete crash barrier. I replaced all discs and pads 9000 miles ago with genuine Nissan OEM’s and do not drive the car hard or track it so they can’t be worn out already. Anybody else had a similar issue with their 370? Never heard this noise before and I’ve had the car 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Could be worn out pads if a calliper was binding, but just as easy could be a stuck stone. Get a few hard stops done to see if that solves it (in reverse too), or pop the wheels off and have a look at the pads themselves on the inside. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justthejedi Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Found out what was causing this, in case anyone has the same problem. It was the securing pin worked loose and catching on the front pad when braking in rotation with the wheel. Ordered anew pad fitting kit and replacing next week so hopefully should cure the problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Was only watching alot of Gtr stuff yesterday on YouTube. Is that similar to what was being mentioned as a design flaw on some of the R35s where the pin would rattle like below https://youtu.be/e6Cfw0d05SU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justthejedi Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 The outcome to this story turned out to be a loose shim on the rear brake pad NOT a loose securing front pin as explained to me by the mechanic at Halfords!! 🤔 Took my car over to Davey83's to discover the problem and was rectified by clamping the shim tighter so it grips the pads securely. That's what it's all about, a fellow zedder helping another, love it! 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
