Mystery Solved!! All GTR R35 owners must watch!!

[@lordmekobear]

To remedie this problem you have to sand/clean/wipe the back of the wheel (in your case the VOLK) that mates to the brake rotor hat. This is standard noise on all GTR's that come in (I'm a certified GTR specialist) 99% of the wheels after cleaning/sanding/wipe down gets rid of noise.

My car at low speeds feels as if my tires are literally just draggin against the pavement when on turns. what could this be? also when im reversing and i give gas it feels as if my rear wheel is going to fall of. can you help me out bro

[@lordmekobear]

@@trualbanian1 depends on what wheel and size but if you have stock or near stock specs up to 13 wide in the rear and 11 up front the slip or lack of grip in the rear when moving forward or in reverse is normal at low speeds. (in turn) going straight there shouldn't be any binding or drag.

Hi I have the same issue with my 2018 GTR, and so far when I changed the issue in the axle boot the noise is gone.. maybe check the axle boot if the grease is dry 😊

[@andrewmorton3277]

What a strange phenomenon. Thankfully I have no such issue with my TE37’s (with a 285/345 tyre setup)

[@phothrottle]

I know it so strange. Maybe its just a GTR thing haha

[@ldoni]

Attention it is essential that you pay attention to the rolling circumference between the front and rear axles, otherwise the ETS is subject to high wear and tear and jams. The drivetrain becomes tense with different sizes. In your case also between left and right. Tire manufacturers differ from one another in terms of the rolling circumference. It is best to always measure the circumference yourself when you have a new tire combination.

[@phothrottle]

You are 100% correct. The toyo r888 is the proper diameter for the gtr set up but if you decide to go with r888r the 315 is not the correct diameter. You will need to go with 325 on the rear. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@thehuangbros]

Nice glad you solved it. I think 325/30/20 is a better combination for the ETS.

[@phothrottle]

Albert I'm hoping this can shed some light to other GTR owners with the same noise and that Rays will step up and give me support. I will keep everyone posted on how it plays out.

[@thehuangbros]

Phuong Tran Unscripted keep up the good work man

[@untamedhavok]

I’m running stock sizes and stock rims on my 2008, and still have the noise from time to time. Usually cleaning the hub works, but it comes back every 3-4 months. I have the clips done on the brakes, so it’s not that. Very strange that swapping your rims makes the sound go away though!

[@phothrottle]

Thanks for the info Glenn. Maybe its a GTR thing that we will have to learn to live with. So annoying

[@peipei2037]

My friends 2021 GTR with the stock rims stock tires has the same issue

[@phothrottle]

My friends 2021 Nismo with stock wheels had the clicking noise. It has 800km on the odometer. We put anti seize between the wheel hub and brake hat and the clicking stopped. Give that a try.

[@peipei2037]

@@phothrottle thanks!!

[@bernietsan5538]

ok, sorry this took so long... I have no sound at all from the wheels/tires...1st, I'm assuming the proper lug nuts are used (i.e. ball or conic). This being said, even if the lug bore on the Rays are over sized, the lug nuts should center the lug bore to the lug, as the lugs get torqued down. The hub centric ring will help further center the wheel on the hub/lug...if there are any movement(s) at all, you should have a bigger problems my friend, as the wheel assemble should be moving around as you drive, and should be immediately noticeable to you. I'm thinking your Rays are tight and centered on the hub, so i think it could be the tire. Hear me out; I had a instance where I've installed a brand new set of Yokohama V107 on my Type R, and a month later, I started hearing clicks as I start moving from stop...for couple months I could not figure out what the issue was. So since the Yoko's where rubbing a bit, I've change out all four tire, and the sound it gone. Any one else around you with another set or Rays? or maybe try to use that wheel on a different GT-R, or try one of the rear Rays in the front to see if any clicking? Hope this was at least a little help.

[@phothrottle]

Bernie Thanks for the advise. I will give it a try. I'm in need of a new set of tires soon. I will give you an update when its done.

[@billycM5]

cleaned the back of the wheel and brake disc bell clicking gone 4 days now emery paper fine, brake disc cleaner

[@bernietsan5538]

not sure guys...let me listen closer when I reverse next time, but I don't think I hear any clicks...I'm running 285/30/21's wrapped around 21x10.5 in the front...will report back

[@phothrottle]

My clicking sounds is only when I turn.

[@emiliorosa6388]

I have a 2009 gtr have same clicking noise i put the pin on the top of the brake bit noise still there 😭😭😭 help!!!!!

[@phothrottle]

Are you on stock rims?

[@emiliorosa6388]

Phuong Tran Unscripted yes stock rims !

[@phothrottle]

@@emiliorosa6388 what tires are on your stock rims? I was told that certain tire compounds can cause the clicking noise.

[@emiliorosa6388]

Phuong Tran Unscripted 255/40/20

[@phothrottle]

@@emiliorosa6388 are they Dunlops? DBA years are equipped with dunlops. If you noticed in the vlog I switched to my OEM rims and tires the clicking stopped. I'm assuming it might be caused by the tire compounds.

[@Varis_R35_GTR]

What about CV joint?

[@phothrottle]

Patrick I'm certain it's not the CV joint because the sound goes away with the stock rims. I was advised by some friends that the cause of the click is from the r888r. I'm currently 315 on the rear and it's off by 2% front to back and being out that much is not good for the clutches. 325 is the proper size and hopefully will solve the clicking noise. I will do an update vlog come spring.

[@billycM5]

I have had 3 gtrs all stock wheels all done clicking noise My 2019 gtr is doing it now with 3800 miles 🇬🇧 stock wheels dealers all say it’s normal because they don’t know how to fix it

[@phothrottle]

Billy what trim levels are your 3 gtrs?

[@billycM5]

Phuong Tran Unscripted recaro edition

[@aboGTR]

Any luck , I've got stock wheels ???

[@phothrottle]

Adam I put a bit of anti seize between the rotor and wheel hub. The clicking instantly disappeared and never came back. Give it a try!

[@billycM5]

Recaro editions 2016 had the same wheels 2019 has the newer wheels all 20inch

[@phothrottle]

Billy have you ever tried different wheels to see if the noise stops? Just curious.

[@billycM5]

Phuong Tran Unscripted hi I have never put aftermarket wheels on any of gtrs

[@MrTq1234]

Hi mate! I got same alloys as u bro and same Clicking noise😭🙈so annoying 😢help

[@phothrottle]

Check your tires diameter front and back. Make sure they are the same.

[@Reaper-cq4sw]

Man I'm using the stock ones still clicking

[@phothrottle]

Have you changed tire brands? I was told the overall diameter of the tires can cause the clicking noise. The tolerance for the r35 is not very high and can throw of the ETC. For example the toyo r888r 315 diameter is a full inch smaller. I will make another video explaining all of this. But check your tire diameters front and back first. Make sure they match.

[@Reaper-cq4sw]

Phuong Tran Unscripted thanks for replying as I’m using cup 2 and is just regular size to original rim

[@phothrottle]

@@Reaper-cq4sw I just checked the specs on the cup2 and they are with in factory diameter specs. I would still measure the diameter just to make sure they are the same. Uneven tire wear can be a contributing factor so I was told.
