So wondering whats up with my brakes? Almost brand new car and they squeak when applying brake pressure. Anyone have the same issue? If so what was the fix? change the pads etc...

It's completely normal. GT-R stock brake pads are like this due to high metal content in the brake dust. You will get used to it. If you can't, there are other options out there for pads that I'm sure gtrlife members can recommend. This also been covered many times before in previous forums if you don't get any responses here. I'm actually fine with it as many race/high performance pads inherently squeak and I was expecting it.

I couldn't take it so I bought the et500 front and rear pads, no more squeak but still get a lot of brake dust. Sometimes squeaks in rain, but not normally in rain do I can deal with it.

When it comes time to swap my pads, I'm going to ceramic as I do not track my car. They put out a fraction of the dust that the stock pads produce as well.

turn the radio up is the easiest solution

As several have stated the stock brake pads are ridiculous. They simply aren't great by any standards (well good standards).



I've tried ferodo (2500s), Hawks (both street and track pads), "racing brake" street pads and my favorite are "project mu". As far as noise there is none, temps come up quickly, bite is great and linear.. It does of course produce dust but maybe 1/3 of what the stock did. It's more than enough pad for any street use but not enough for any serious track use (in my opinion).

Anyone telling you this amount of squeal is "ok" or to be expected on a high performance car is simply being silly and has never had decent performance pads.

Nathan - Which Project MU pads did you end up going with? I need to get a set for the daily drive and will look into other options for track days.

I had similar squeal issue as my car only had 1400 miles when I bought it. I took it to track day at COTA and by the end of the day the pads are perfectly bedded to the rotors and no more squeal...

This will sadly last 75-100 miles or less of city driving (or if it rains).

I bed my brakes in and it would stop the squeal for a short while.. There are much better pads on the market than stock - unless you like brake fade, lots of brake dust and squealing.

In all the motorsports brakes we offer, we think EVO has a lot of similarity with GTR in how owners drive their cars - with "spirited" mode, that's how we made ET500 brake compound available for EVO, and if you check that community around you may be surprised how popular ET500 is over other brands, and same thing is happening in Mercedes community today.

In fact Southcoast Mitsubishi (Costa Mesa, CA) - The largest Mitsubishi dealer for EVO carrying RB brakes, and one of the items they don't want to miss on shelf is the ET500 brake pads

With our recent ET500 release for Lexus RC F (the brake complaint is not less than GTR), it receives the same welcome.

I just switched to Project Mu HC800 and it is a massive improvement from stock. Just a little noise when cold, but they are mostly silent. Good cold bite and better heat tolerance than stock too. Similar to Endless MX72.

 

[dexterkatt]

I use Carbotechs and just put up with the noise since the GTR spends most of the time going and coming back from the road track. My techs say "turn up the radio"

 

[nissangtr10]

I got j hook front rotor with pmu pad. Mine is squeaking so bad. Can anyone help me out. Its fine when I first drive in but bout 15 min into driving it it squeaking so bad that I even don't want to stop at red light

Which PMU pads?

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Brake pads have a sliding scale. At one end is performance, and the other end is quiet. Pick your spot on that sliding scale. If there was a super high performance brake pad out there that didn't squeak at all, someone would be rich.

 

[scandium45]

I find with PMU HC800, they squeak when cold but once warm they are almost silent. Also, bedding them with a few hard stops quiets them down a bit. However, they are nothing like the stock brakes, which squealed like a garbage truck no matter what the temp was. I am using Alcon rotors.

 

[s2k11]

Ive had enough of the squeak as well. I just got in Hawk Hp Plus front and rears today. Going on the car tomorrow. Ill give an update.

 

[Formidable]

My brakes used to squeak very loudly. I don't plan on tracking so I installed hawk HPS pads a few weeks ago. Zero squeak now. Far less brake dust. Very happy with them.

Had annoying brake squeal (EwEEEEEE...... sound) put up with it for a while, nissan dealer keep saying it is normal. Well the squeal won't compromise the braking capability, but it is damn annoying. Your best chance is to change to quality aftermarket brake pads. I personally gone with the endless MX72 and it works great, still get some noises, but very minimal. As with any performance car some noises is expected.

 

[G0DZLLA]

I have been running the kit from speed for sale for 5 months now. DBA Front and Rear Rotors with Hawk HPS pads. No more noise and as Formidable said the brake dust is pretty much non existent compared to stock. I am not saying you need to change your rotors but the pads are great for street use.
