It's most probably the wear indicators on the brake pads. They make an irritating low pitched intermittent squeal or groan each time they contact the turning rotor. The noise goes away when you step on the brakes. Check the pad wear by pulling off a wheel and looking through the slot on the circumference of the caliper. You should have even wear on both pads, and at least an eighth of an inch of pad left. If not even you'll need to pull the caliper, and clean and lube the pins it slides on. If worn or uneven, replace them; it doesn't pay to try and wait for pads to wear down any farther, because you'll probably end up scoring the rotor.
Those are special calipers. The piston cannot be just compressed back into the caliper - it needs to be turned as it is compressed or you can ruin the caliper.There is a kit you can rent from AutoZone or many independent auto parts stores that will perform both functions at the same time. Block fron wheels and raise vehicle passenger side. Remove wheel. The caliper is on the top rear side of the assembly you're looking at.There are 2 long bolts you'll need to remove to take the caliper off the vehicle. Don't remove the brake line or open the bleeder screw ( either of these moves will add to your work!! ) Insert a large flat blade screwdriver in between the rotor and outboard brake pad and pry away from the vehicle slightly to release the pads from the rotor. Slide caliper upwards and towards the back of the vehicle to separate from rotor. The pads will come in a full set ( all 4 pads for both side of the rear ) . Look at your replacement pads and determine if they have a retainer clip holding them in place or a compression clip. Remove outboard pad first then inboard. Match old pads to replacement pads. Inspect rotor for grooves and irregular surfaces - if any grooves or irregularity present, remove rotor and take to an auto parts store for refinishing.Compress caliper piston with kit and allow 5 minutes for pressure to bleed back into the master cylinder.install rotor if removed and wipe surfaces with brake clean. Install inboard then outboard pad and place caliper on rotor, then mount to vehicle. Install wheel, repeat procedure for drivers side, then PUMP BRAKE PEDAL 5 TIMES BEFORE TRYING TO DRIVE VEHICLE to set pads on rotors.
Remove the tires.
Remove the brake hydraulic caliper.
Remove the brake pads.
Remove the brake hydraulic caliper mounting bracket. Now the rotor is free to be pulled off. If it is frozen on, than a little WD40 at the center hub and a little taping with a hammer will free it.
PS:sometimes there is a small screw that mat be holding the rotor to the hub-- may have to remove that first.
its your rear a/c actuator door in the rear RH side panel. The door is damaged or binding, replace it with a new one. To access this, you must remove the panel or top cover. hopefully this helps
If you have to ask, you are going to get in over your head. G35 coupe has brembo racing brakes from the factory. The pads are like 200 bucks and the rotors have to be turned each time you put new pads on them. Believe me, you don't want to have to replace a pair of rotors at 500 dollars a piece. Also the pads have built in sensors that will cause the brake mil light on the dash to light up when the pads wear down to a certain point. So I wouldn't tackle that myself. Its expensive, but that's part of owning an Infiniti.
I would take the car to almost any auto parts store and ask them to check the ODB II computer for codes and to reset the "Check engine light". Get the code that they tell you and it should go a long way to pointing you in the right direction to fixing this problem. It might also be that when you pumped the brakes that you somehow set a code in the computer from the ABS system and now that you have the brakes pumped up and working correctly resetting the Check engine light might fix your problem.
Good luck! Write back with any code you get and I'll see if I can help you figure out what the problem might be.
there is a small cable in the trunk behind the carpet that,when pulled, is a manual release. Look behind the carpet on the side of the cars gas tank. hope this helps. Don't forget to rate my answer.
