Warped Discs

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.....

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah the hybrid you mean one of these? https://youtu.be/kL518ThmzSw?t=118 Yes that one that only vents is that i post above( GReddy FV2) right? That FV2 has some type of screw/valve where you can control how "hard" the spring would...but i think even on the hardest it would not be "good"...i would need to restrict this "more"...i consider this 🙂  And car should be ok(or rather same) with this like with no BoV?

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      A BOV that both has an external vent and a return pipe connection is a hybrid BOV. I wasn't talking about one of those. If you bought one of those, I'd instead just buy a return only one. I was talking about a BOV that only vents. I mean doing something, yourself, to restrict the outlet. Jamming something in there, welding something on with a ball valve on it so you can adjust it, etc etc.

      Guys , just renewed my mine with Shannon's this week , I updated them that I had a Fujitsbo exhaust installed , so they did increase the cost by $200 , but still good for about $2400 for the year.   Very helpful team at Shannon's , when I originally reached out to them last year they hadn't had a 400r , but took all my details and were happy to offer me a policy. it a bit high but that the price you pay to get an Import.
