Hey guys I just bought Nismo 2 weeks ago. Been pretty busy to mess to much with it tho. I put all new StopTech pads on it, rotors are fine. I have a rubbing/ rotating noise thats so annoying!! Sounds like the drivers rear wheel area.

When you are driving uphill or are on acceleration is when it occurs, Anytime theres a load on the rear UNLESS you are turning Left! IF you have it out of gear rolling down hill the noise is gone. If you are driving 40mph for instance and just cruising with enough pedal to maintain speed its not there. So basicly IF the rear has a load on it the noise is there or if turning left. Not hurting the cars performance I've noticed. Sure its a bushing or something stupid, Any ideas would be appreciated!

Wheel bearing, most likely.

 

sounds like it could be the brake dust shields or the infamous rear axle click.

take the wheels off the rear and see if the dust shield behind the rotors are touching the backside of the rotor..

i had a very similar sound on my old 04 z.

 

I gotta agree that it is a wheel bearing. If it is the driver's rear, I am assuming you are talking about a LHD car. The wheel is supporting more weight of the car during everything, but turning left when the body rolls to the right, putting more weight on the passenger side.
