Hey everyone!

I am new to this forum and to the Z community. Just got a 07 350z Nismo and i am having some brake issues. The previous owner swapped the front brembo calipers to standard. I got new rotors, pads, and did a break in, but everytime i apply the brakes theres a loud squeaking noise from the front brakes. The pads are stoptech street pads, with blank rotors. I have about 700~800 miles on the new brakes.

My question is: Is the front calipers, being standard and used, causing this noise? Pads maybe?

Please help as I am going crazy in a stop and go traffic! Thanks!

 

You should be able to tell. Some pads are loud. Noise will vary. Its just the way it is.

Metal-to-metal contact. Noise is consistent. This is bad.

 

so you have brembo rears and regular fronts??? what would posses someone to get rid of the brembos??

 

i have an 06 GT and have all the brembos lol, but i am having the same sound i think, it is not consistant, it only does it after the car is warm, but i have the same exact problem, I NEED HELP TOO!

 

davidv: ur suggesting a change of pad material?

Barnabas: yea, unfortunately i have regular fronts. Bought the car that way.

okashiz: i want all brembos too! =(

 

i love them, im just lucky that thats the z i could get the best value for hahahaha

 

I would def upgrade the fronts. The previous owner prob had a BBK on the front and parted out the cheap way before selling. Your brake bias is more then likely off right now.

 

and yes a change in pads could correct noise.
