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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
