On my R34 GTT, the discs were warped as I can feel intense vibration everytime I brake hard. After which I got the disc skimmed and slotted.

After a couple of weeks, the sympton re-appeared. it's not as bad as the first time but the steering vibrates whenever I brake hard. It's annoying me to the max and my mechanic says it's a common problem with Skylines. Is that so?

Does any of you experience the same thing?

Not that common but I suspect it was not warped at all but has an area that had the brakes held on after a big stop getting the discs hot. Pad material migrates into the disc and the steel changes into a different form that is harder wearing, so as it wears a shudder appears. Time for new discs. Get RDA for good value.

another thing is if you brake really hard from a decent speed, and stop and sit there for a few mins then the heat from the pads and rotors being so close and hot will warp that spot.

i had a similar problem on my old magna. i put new rotors on, after a while they got a bit warped. i got them machined, then after a month or 2 (not much heavy braking) it reapeared. ended up getting new rotors again and that solved it. it seemed to do 1 side more than the other. i think i may have also had a sticky piston that wasn't helping the problem.

I got new pads after I machined the rotors. It performed well for a couple of weeks before the intense shuddering under hard braking re-occurs. It's irritating and does do to well with driving with confidence.

Someone mentioned it might not be the rotors BUT after I machine it, it works fine. Sigh.....

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
