When I brake turning the wheel right, I hear a "eenngg" noise. This is often duplicated when parking slightly downhill. The bearings, rotors (cross drilled) and brakes have been replaced by the dealership, but I am still having this problem. Any suggestions.

Welcome to NICO

Take it right back to the dealer and go on a test drive with the service. adviser. Request a loaner. Take care of the guy $ who brings you the loaner & you may end up with a full tank of gas? Tell them to call you when they find and fix the problem. This is one of the bennies when having the dealer do the work. It may cost a little more but you may end up driving a brand new G while they find the problem. BTW, it could just be the new pads and the noise will disappear after they wear in a little?

Sounds to me like they left the anti squeal off of one of the pads. I'd take it back and follow Telco's advice, with the exception that I won't "pay off" the service advisor. They make plenty anyways. I have befriended most of the guys at the local Nissan store, by holding events there.

When you say, left the anti squeal off brakes, should I expect to hear a squealing noise when I brake. The noise is not a squeal, it is similar to a ...the sound of tighting something. "EENNGG" Any more suggestions.

Might be a bad weld... I know some other G coupe owner had that problem with the back pass side of the car. It was a bad weld rubbing making a creaking noise.

A bushing maybe? Tie rod end? Strut/shock bushing?

Thanks... and I love it. The car looks so good now!... I think it added about 40 to 50 SP (Sex power) to the entire look of the car!
