sounds allot like the master cylinders is gone finito caput lolz. but could be brake booster as well but master should be the problem that is from experience. but can never hurt to be check by a professional and get this problem fixed asap or else it will happen again and it can be scary if that happens where no brake power and u going down a hill thats from experience and hope no one experiences that lolz

nah shouldn't lol any pro can diagnose it , i just got miy brake master reconditions and doing full brake make over for my 32gtst lolz befor road use !! its good to search whats good and whats not :D

This sort of saves me making another thread, so i'll semi- hijack yours

I have a gtr with standard rotors, (well standard spec, not slotted or anything tho) and some high performance pad (i saw them in a catalogue and they're quite exxy green ones)

Anyways after doing a few spur run's i locked up the brakes a lil coming into a corner and had the abs light come on, it braked fine but about 10 minutes later when i stopped at some lights i could push my pedal all the way to the floor, and pumping didn't really work. By the time i had gotten home the problem had almost gone and now when i drive it it brakes fine but it doesn't seem as responsive.

More effort is needed to brake (it still brakes easily enough) and my corolla and val both brake alot easier than the gtr. I can't really remember how it was before you but considering the size of the brakes i'm guessing they're normally alot more responsive.

It has plenty of fluid and i only bled the brakes about 1500 km's ago, i'm thinking maybe the diaphragm is gone but i'm not sure, maybe gtr's have a bit of take up b4 they break standard.

Also 1 other thing, idk if it's bad but it never happened in my old car, my brakes smoke a fair bit after a hard-ish run, they don't smell oddly enough at all but they smoke a fair bit

Ne ways, no idea about the 2nd bit but does the 1st problem sound like master cylinder is shot?

I think you've boiled the fluid. Some liquid or air might have got in there. Bleed the brakes again and that should fix it for now but if it happens again then look to the master cylinder. It's not the booster.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
