Noisy Brembo's

I have an R33 GTR with the factory Brembo brakes but I have noticed that the calipers are really noisy, yeah thats right not the pads but the calipers.

For example: If I am reversing into a park and I drive forward to straighten up and then reverse back, the calipers will make a loud clamping/clunking noise when I sto to change into reverse.

Example 2: If say I am driving down a round and then change lanes and turn into a turning lane, I will of course apply the brakes to slow down, in this instance the clamping/clunking noise has a delay from the time when I applied the brakes.

I would also like to make mention that I have never felt the abs working and onthe odd occasion have done some serious braking. The light on the dash is not on but is there a way to test the abs without having to slam on the brakes at speed? In case they dont work I dont want flat spots.

Does any one know what is going in with my brakes?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say at a guess there's something loose under there or maybe someone has fitted slightly undersize pads to the calipers, allowing them to rotate slightly when you change direction. Whatever it is, stop sitting on-line & guessing as to what it might be, get it checked out by someone who knows what they're on about.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
