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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
