have you checked your brake pads? It could be the wear indicator on that side tellin you to change them. Mine was doing the exact same thing a week ago so I replaced the pads and rotors and now all is well.

It seems to me , 240sx brakes suck! ive had nothing but problems with mine. Minor yes , but i replaced rotors and pads and now a couple months later they are making noises and ****. Seems like the rotors are warped already. =\

I have raced and autox for 2 years and never had a brake problem and we have flogged it hard. Our brakes are pretty good ,IMO

i replaced my brakes with some expensive axxis semi metallic brake pads and they're fine now. i wish someone had told me about the problem i would run into when changing them. i broke my C clamp trying to push the piston back in, but i found out that i have to turn the damn thing to get it back in. NOW i know.
