Under heavy brakes to a stop(40->0) the front of my GTR feels crunchy as if something is going to snap ;)

Normal 200->100KM hard braking feels fine. Obviously you dont usually brake hard to a stop but im paranoid

Anyone know what could be wrong here?

ROTORS MAY NEED MACHINING? FIREWALL FLEX?

exactly wha i was thinking.

You have probably done a few too many 200km runs... heats ur rotors up... then they cool fast and the shape of the material warps .... u probably need to machine ur rotors. Try jack up your car and spin the tyre. U will hear it if its really warped.

Warped disks/pads

Braking from 200km/h places imence torture on disks and pads. What set up are you running?

You could of simply heated your brakes to a point where they warped.

Are any of the components new? Because they could be rooted from factory (happened to me before)

Do you leave your handbrake on after track meets? Because by doing so, you clamp your rears, they boil and cook. Not doin the funkey monkey!

Big Brembo's with DBA slotted rotors. Nope allways make sure handbrake is off & try to cool-down on last lap.

Not new but all the components are as-new condition, mechanic only just installed them 1-2 months ago & he would have pointed out any damage.

Could do with another allignment will see what its like after that.

Good luck with yours. I've changed rotors, got alignment, replaced bushes etc and it still shudders really badly on the track.

The next thing i'm going to try is pulling the rotors off and cleaning the mating surfaces so you could eat off them....if there's even the tiniest bit of crap it can cause a problem.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
