Warning (park Brake) Light Coming On With A Hard Right Turn?

Hey all,

So I've only had my GTR for a couple of months, and now that I've stopped babying it and started driving it "properly", I've started to notice something weird..

When I make a right hand turn (with a bit of pace), the red (!) light on the dash comes on - i.e the handbrake light, but I assume in this case the car is trying to tell me something different. And sometimes it stays on for a little while after the turn.

Has anyone come across this before? Does it sound like a damaged engine mount causing the engine to rock too much or something? Or maybe a HICAS fault?

FWIW it's a 1994 R32 GTR with a bunch of mild mods (exhaust/intake/highflowed turbos/apexi FC/boost) and Buddy Club coilovers.

low brake fluid mate. check the master cylinder for level (and your pads are probably pretty low too, or you might have a minor leak at the master cylinder). Brake fluid shouldnt go anywhere so if you top it up and the light comes back later get the master checked out properly.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
