I Can't Believe Nissan Doesn't Install THIS on a GT-R!

- Why doesn't Nissan install this cheap part on the R35 GT-R? I am shocked at how bad the GT-R sounds after leaving the factory!
This was obviously a very simple and cheap fix. But it is odd that Nissan/Brembo would not have this already installed to limit the annoying noises from the car. It's an over engineered car, how was this misses?
The Nissan GT-R for some reason doesn't have a second brake pad pin retainer spring installed from the factory. And NO this is not because someone changed the pads previously and forgot to re install the spring. This is how the GT-R comes! Newer Nissan GT-R models do have both springs installed, but this is ridiculous!

With a snap of your fingers you changed your tires back to stock, amazing and as always a great video. Keep em going :)
Irene Wwsejdj2838 Haha thanks! Yeah sometimes it takes no time at all 😎
Irene Wwsejdj2838 🤨 you know he.... nvm.
Nice tip bro. I'm gonna get a GTR. Has taken me ages to come around to liking the styling. Neat channel. New sub.
Thanks for the support!
Good Job, Some early Toyota's had that exact same issue and the fix was the same, What impressed me is You actually have a torque wrench and did use it the right way too! want to reduce the brake noise and chatter more? put a small 35 to 45 degree angle on the trailing edge of the brake pads at the contact area.
Great video, looks nice a nice home and garage you got there mate.
That is crazy. Even evos have it on both sides As one piece. Great video btw.
Evo does not have 6 caliber front brakes. But I know what you mean. My Mustang has 4 pot brembos in front and the metal piece is under the both pins.
Good thing you fixed the brake !
The small clip was funny at 6:25 of the brake before lol
you keep it real bro like how you just say what's correct and give tips on cars good job 👍
I appreciate that!
damn man this helps alot.. other videos, ppl didn't even know what it was.
Thank you for this video. Just ordered these
Glad to help! So crazy they didn't come like this!
You’re awesome! I was parked in garage today and was wondering what the noise was. I thought it was my exhaust.
I will order that part asap
Nice! I thought my front shocks were blown at first
Great fix. It just goes to show that no matter what you drive, they can always do it better.
Sammsquanch69 haha yeah
🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽close to getting my gtr dream car. These videos help a lot with understanding these cars before getting into it.
Nice man!! I love owning the GTR and it is a fun car and easy to maintain!
Dude! You're a genius! I'm ready to trade my GTR in because of that noise! Dealership tells me it normal, yet my GTR is the only one (I thought) that sounded like That! Thank you! Buying that clip tomorrow!!!!!!!!
haha nice! Glad I could help! I thought my struts were blown out or something lol.
Those pad retainer bolts are the same on Racing kart brake Calipers, they are always left secure but not over tight so that they don’t move, they need a little play/movement otherwise they can snap under the force of braking, then your pads will fall out and no more brakes be careful.
wow...beautiful brakes though...stopping power like dropping a boat anchor...i like that ya got the missus in there gettin' dirty too!..mad props to the car baes out there (been tryin to find one for yrs lol)
Nice vid guys, my dream car !!!👍
Awesome video man!! One day i'll get my Nissan GTR S2
Nice, make it happen!
I’ll be honest when u first put on the vossens I didn’t really like them, thought they weren’t aggressive enough but from different angles they really do look amazing on the car👌 like now u put the stock ones on and you really see the difference
Anthony Fernandez Yeh they are way different from stock. If they had beefier tires, they'd look perfect
wow good job man..✌✌✌..thanks for sharing..
Ooooowwweeeee, some brake clean please!😩🙌🏽
I can’t believe Nissan wouldn’t fit 2 pad retainer clips that’s mad !
Do you have the part number for these retainer clips ?
Good videos, keep it up
More GTR vídeos! Great tip! Thx!
love your gtr. The gtr is my dream car. love the videos
I've just put a down pmt on a built GT-R with BoostLogic 750x turbos. I have saved a bunch of your videos. This is a must do. My AP Racing brakes have both clips. No clue why these don't. Maybe some reason to help keep the dust buildup out of the pads? (My best guess) I screen shot saved the part #. THANKS!
Yeah I have no clue why they'd skip this part. I can understand any good reason. So glad I fixed the annoying sounds. Enjoy your new GTR, it'll be awesome!
Just to clarify this issue is just a sound problem right? Like my car won’t break will it?
Thx for share. I think most of GTR driver don't know about this.
Thanks for the video.
Great video!
Does the 2016 have these issues? Just got mine and brakes make terrible screeching noise but not that rattling noise
The screeching his from the brake pads. GTR's come with near race pads. And unless they are super hot. They make annoying noises. I think 2016 cars have the springs installed. Here are the current pads I'm running. ua-cam.com/video/LOXvu5Bgadg/v-deo.html
Use a product called iron X regulate on your brake calipers and wheels. The stuff is a little pricey but invaluable for dissolving iron.
Smells awful but turns all the iron bright purple to show you it's working. There is nothing like it. Spray the rest of your car paint and everything periodically to get rid of iron embedded in your paint.
But you'll find it to be most useful around your wheels and brakes if specially if your pads are sintered iron.
There are tons of videos about Iron-X on UA-cam. Watch a few.
Based off what I could see, your pads and most likely rotors need immediate replacement. Wear limit for pads is 4.5MM and front rotors 30.6MM. Also, the retainer clips come already installed on newer GT-Rs. My 2015 came with them already from factory.
GT-R Marine Yikes I don't want to hear that yet lol. Any good recommendations for replacement pads and rotors?
Bros FOURR Speed No problem. There are several setups out there available depending on your needs. If you are going to be doing only aggressive street driving with no tracking I would recommend the Racing Brake slotted rotors with XT910 pads. Very low dust, great stopping power, and very little noise if any. Also the rear rotors will have an aluminum hat not steel like OEM and will not rust (I’m sure you’ve noticed the OEMs rust). Racing Brake is the only brand that offers the lightweight aluminum hat for the rear rotors that also retains the emergency brake functionality plus saves weight.
If you ever do track someday then just swap out the pads to something more aggressive like the Racing Brake XR70s. They are a dedicated track pad that can withstand high heat of track use. Also, if you think you will track then make sure to get the regular Racing Brake rotors that are thicker (34MM) and not the lightweight street rotors which are thinner (32MM). The thinner rotors are great if you only plan street driving and for weight savings.
Also don’t forget to replace the brake lines as your stock lines have probably reached their recommended replacement interval of 5 service years. Racing Brake sells stainless steel brake lines with their kits or you can buy from another company like AMS.
Another option for street to semi-track use is DBA (Disk Brake Australia) brand rotors with low dust, low noise Hawk HPS pads. Speed by Design (SBD) swears by this setup and offers an entire kit at a very reasonable price. This is the cheapest route but have heard the rotors can prematurely fail or warp during track use.
For another semi-track and street setup there is also AP J-Hooks or Alcon C-hooks paired with Endless MX-72 pads. This setup will cost more than the other recommendations (especially AP since you have to purchase hats for fronts and can’t reuse the OEM hats; Alcon you can) but has been well reviewed by many owners. The MX-72 pads are also low dust, low noise but are hard on the rotors more than OEM pads.
In the end it’s up to you for what your needs are. My opinion is stick with street setup for the street so you’re not dealing with dusting, squeal, and accelerated wear and then switch pads to track dedicated if you decide to track as it’s super easy to swap pads out on this car. The Racing Brake setup is great for this because the rotors are made stronger than OEM and will stand up to track use if you choose to do so.
Same concept with tires. I would rather go with dedicated summer tires for the summer and dedicated winter tire setup for snow if I drove my GT-R in the winter (which I don’t). This is much better than going with an all season tire as it’s a jack of all trades but master of none and you will miss out on performance with all seasons.
GT-R Marine wow thanks for the write up! I've seen the Racing Brake setup alot when I was searching, and it seems like a very cost effective route. I've never heard of that brand so I wasn't sure if I could trust it. 95% of the time it's just daily road driving, maybe 2 track days a year and a few mountain trips. That might be a good way to go for me. Thanks!
Though I do not have a GTR yet, I have the same problem with a indentation on the roof of my 370Z. Haven't heard anyone else complain about this issue. Glad it's not just me.
Frank Falice This was definitely a dent lol. I had a dent guy come out and fix it. So it's good as new now.
By the looks of those pads, I think I would have changed them first, and then added the new piece. Just my $0.02... Otherwise, love your videos and keep up the great work..!
Great tip, Thanks
I can't believe my GTR never got this fixed! This is the first thing I've noticed. Lol. And yes it does make noises... I ordered of ebay from Dubai. Yep. 80 bucks shipped for both. Thanks again ! Don't even bother getting from Nissan. Out of stock.
Nice! Glad you could get it fixed. Such a dumb design to not install something needed like this
Bravo for that girl for not being afraid to get dirty at work with that brakes! ;-)
Top video sir.
do you ever wash your calipers?
You know cars. Can you also do a more in depth detailing video showing how you wash your car. Some folks are into super detailed cars and showing the products used.
Where you get those rims I want them
Outstanding job fixing the rattle! I'd love to know the real reason why Nissan didn't put the spring return on at the factory.
Mark Knox Thanks! Yeh I have no clue lol
Its a retainer clip and the squealing not squeaking is the low pad warning clip meaning your brake pads need to be changed.
He said in the video the brakes are no longer squealing...
Most new cars don't use the warning clip anymore but a plastic sensor that once the pads wear down the sensor makes contact and a warning light comes on.
Plus if you actually look at his pads when he takes the wheels off to install the clip you will see he has plenty of meat left on them. A lot of ceramic pads tend to make the squealing noise.
Great tip. Why Nissan doesn't fit the spring is a mystery.
Andy K. UK Yeh I know. For such an over engineered car, this is very odd
How could you not notice the clips were on the bottom. This was not a mistake by Nissan it was whoever did the work on the brakes and forgot to put the upper clips in. If Nissan forgot the upper clips on all their GT-R's they would all be rattling off the assembly line and that would just not fly man. Or maybe someone poached the clips for their own car. Either way this is not a factory mistake.
一19。 f 一點嗎？，
What a great way for Nissan to make extra money. Think of all the GT-R owners buying 2 of these parts at $65 a piece. CHA-CHING!
Andrew K. NI mo $
I've got a '17 and just checked the front calipers. They do have both clips on each side, but it still squeaks its ass off. I can live with the noisy transmission, but the brakes squealing is embarrassing!
E Hicks from what I've seen, the newer cars have them. Some people said 15 and up, others said 17 and up.
How much Newton meters on the bolts
Do you have the part number for those pad retainer clips
watch at 2:30
I just checked my 2015 Nissan GT-R and the rotors have both springs/clamps whatever you installed . I still have that annoying squeak coming from the breaks 🤦♂️
Get different pads. Some brake pads squeal like crazy sometimes. Look up quieter pads.
👍🏼👍🏼
I can't believe Nissan didn't include this clip from the factory!
Yeah it's so weird for sure!
That's interesting because all of 3 Infiniti G35/37 S and Q50 S had/have both upper/lower parts.
This does not stop the brake squeek you need to change pads and rotors to a AP slotted with Endless Mx 72 pads
Hey thanks for sharing the video. Damn why Nissan would do that
Glad oyu liked the video! Crazy how they didn't put this on a few years of the GTR!
I think the last person did the brakes forgot to put the clips back on...nice ride
Mark C. Nope. This is how it leaves the factory
if the pin noise annoying u, wait for the clicking noise :) this is a really crazy noise, but cheaper to fix :D
r35_gtrowner I've heard of that. But haven't experienced it yet lol
Good job it's easy fix 😍👍🏼
Rusty Nail Yeh took more time taking the wheels off lol
Unacceptable on an almost $100k car. WTF Nissan.
I think "wtf brembo"...
Before you throw shade learn why they DON'T throw the clip in there from the factory.
Spring puts pressure on the pads, if it's not there to begin with then you should not put it there. Those pins are supposed to have grease on them. My guess is with time, you washed it out with pressure washer or something.
Even weirder that it's actually the same retainer spring as the lower one, as if there is an error in the assembly and only one is put in instead of the designed two.
Yeah really. It literally would of added 0 cost to Nissan to put it in the top
Same problem! Good video help me 100% to fix my issues like and subscriber...
Wait nvm spoke to soon about the girlfriend part stupid me! Lol
The spring is fitted on UK cars, I'm pretty sure.. And $50 you were seen off!
Another nice vid! Nissan loves to find imaginative ways to save money or cost owners money. You need to buy those "wheel woollies" from chemical guys if you want to get around the calipers easily/and the barrel of the wheels.
Good video
Thanks!
Just hard to believe that nissan will sell a brand new car like this.
OK this is not a nissan caliper it's a brembo supplied caliper so to say nissan NEED'S to fix it incorrect. But glad you where able to find the issue.
Juan Reyes Keep in mind, Nissan approves what parts go on their cars
Good pick but i think nissan should have a recall for this considering the price tag on gtr! And 50$ plus for a metal sheet wow sounds like delebrately done by nissan
How many inch pound did you use?
For the wheel lugs? I believe 60-80 lbs. Whatever the torque spec is
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thank you.
Dang, that car needs some love. 😁
What do you mean? I love every minute of the 5 years I’ve owned it! Take great care of it.
One of the main reasons why I drive affordable rides. Gtrs are quite pricey. For the money you paid, nothing should fail.
Is this on all Nissan GT-R or on certain year?
I think everything before 2016
Holy shit those calipers are huge...
How is the reliability with these? I imagine there is some high mileage cars on road?
Raitzi There are a ton of GT-Rs with 100k miles. Very reliable overall
105k here. Still good.
stopherrr how’s maintenance? do you do maintenance yourself or what?
Jeff Thekid $250 for aftermarket transmission fluid. $35 oil change. $120 differential fluid. Not bad at all.
stopherrr have you changed your brakes? Cause I know their like 1k a caliper
I even tooked a snap picture but i cant attach the pictures
That sound would drive me crazy! i cant stand rattling sounds or any sound from my car =)
haha yeah, it was annoying
I would be super pissed if I was spending $120k on a car and Nissan wouldn't pay to fix something like that... sloppy manufacturing and customer service
Totally...
They wont touch it coz it has been designed like this, they'll make sure their ass is clean whdn something happens to yoy
NICE
I use the same go pro mount
Good thing you didn't hit pot holes it would have been game over for that front end
What year is your car ?
It's a 2014.
I can't believe they made it like that
If that's not it then check the bell housing, had to get mine done, was awful
Almost time to change the pads
clean those Calipers ;)
If you're watching this, please always remember to use car stands when raising your car. Do NOT rely on jacks only!
Dude, you gave up the nismo for that, wow!!.
What year is your GTR.
2014. Love this car!
How's the transmission? And the reliability?
Clearly the retainer is on the bottom and somebody forgot to install the one on the top. Strange they would forget both sides though.
Not many can say they have a GTR
Less can say they work on their GTR
Only YOU can say... your woman gives a helping hand while working on your GTR. 💪🏿👍🏿
That is poorly assemble from the factory or after dealer inspection . They must have missed it completely by it way it looks, it should have a retainer clip c ring in the pin too
Nope, they only started doing this i believe in 2015 and up. My friends 2014 that's for sale is the same as mine.
Can I ask what's your mpg
andre champagnie around 17
I get about 12 to 15 in my alpha9 2015 gtr
I get 10 in a 91 240sx lol
Just wait for the clicking noise you will when you turn the front wheels 😀.. easy fix as well.
Please use a jack stand next time. It’s pretty dangerous just to use a jack and hold the vehicle because hydraulic can lose pressure and fail!
DarudeOwnageZ I used them. Just can't see them in the vid
Mate is that a Nismo GT-R ?
Make you gtr to start spitting flames 🔥
Cole Mugane something like that may be coming soon......
We'll see. :)
however, Nissan has produced very good brake pads
for so many years and never been replaced
first, factory brake pads
Did you get yourself a girlfriend?
Tim Y. 😂
Is she good?
Time for new pads
...that's Nissan for you....later models have 2 per caliper though...but still..
Also! Good job on getting her hands dirty too! No free rides for life! Lol!
Vossen rims ! 🙌🏼
These were some sweet wheels!! New set of wheels coming for the GTR in a few weeks. Cant wait!
