Noticed this for the 1st time Sat night & again this morning- whilst either taking a 270` turn to the right on a normal-sized round-a-bout or a 180` turn to the left (feeder onto M1) at a decent pace, I'm getting the HANDBRAKE warning light coming on (NOT the HICAS light) whilst the car is under g-load. Nothing else is showing abnormal readings at the time (oil pressure fine, no over-boost etc etc)

Driving normally thru same intersections this does not happen & conversly, pushing hard thru a larger radius round-a-bout or corner (Centenatry Mwy/Ipswich Mwy round-a-bout for example) again at pace nothing lights up on the dash either. The car seems to be responding normally in all cases, just wanting to know why the light may be coming on & what else, if anything, is wired to the same warning light??

Cheers all :P

Doh!!

Just had a look & the reservior is 1/2 empty, next thing is to find out where it's all going :P

Guess that will teach me not to look first & ask questions later.......

Got a set of 8-spot Brembos to go on so I guess now's as good as any :)

Thanx for that Elk, next time I'm in Melb I'll buy you a beer

No problems, the beer isn't necessary.

It might be something as simple as the pads are worn, and pushing the pistons back out to accommodate new pads will "refill" the reservoir; worst case is something like a leak in the ABS unit (been there, done that!).

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
