Re: Squeaky brakes...

Just passed the 2000km mark, but notice the brakes squeak every now and again at very low speeds in both drive and reverse.

Anyone experience this little nuisance?

Re: Squeaky brakes...

I just got me 04' 6mt last night (<100km so far), and do notice the noise now and then. Through my brief experimentation, if I used the engine braking to slow the car down and touch the brake pedal lightly, it would squeak loudly, but not a beep during normal braking.

Re: Squeaky brakes...

hi i've been an apprentice mechanic
so im not fully a mechanic but im almost there so i know a lot of stuff that a normal driver wouldnt.. but anyways.. til where i understand.. if the squeaking happens at low speed its only a matter of brake pads.. they r probably made of comparatively harder braking material, nothing to worry about, its normal!
i personally havent had a chance yet to take off those wheels and check out the brakes.. but when i do, i'll fill u in on the brake pads!

Re: Squeaky brakes...

Hmmmm......Red 6MT - Nice Choice! Mine is only a week old. Grinning from ear to ear - nice replacement for my 91 300zx which was also Red.
I get the brake squeal at low speeds as well - I agree with the "lovemyg35" post - high performance brakes with hard pads = a bit of brake squeal

Red '04 G35C 6MT

Re: Squeaky brakes...

I've had this problem with my old cars.
What the dealer told me was the brake pad dust burning off
Just take a power hose and power wash the inside wheel where the brake pad is that should solve the problem
