I just machined my r33 gtst rotors and now the front end is clucking under brakes.

I dont think i pushed the calliper pistons in at all or if much.

It only happens under braking, even under light braking.

I removed the ABS fuse and it still does it.

I need urgent help.

PLEASE

Jake

So you had the pads re faced???

Ive never heard of that happening before outside of race teams...

I bet you one of the pads is out, cause what you have described is what happens when you get old pads on new discs...

or new pads on old warped and very well used discs...

It causes a vibration and sometimes a clicking noise...

Id be checking the pads are true...

Apart from that the only other thing that can make a click or clunk noise is a loose bolt/fitting/pad...

Check the pads, re-bleed the system make sure there i no air in the lines and tripple check all bolts etc...

Also visually inspect the discs and see where the wear marks are on th disc, that will be a good indication of if my hunch is right...

Who machined your rotors....

Recently had same problem with xr6 rotors renouned for warping. Ensure your rotors have been machined properly and pay a little extra for new pads, save the headaches!

Sounds like the pads moving a little as well. I'll need to know exactly what sound it makes though. Does it clunk once? Click rapidly? Heavy or light application make a difference? Does it pull to either side through the wheel?

There is no evidence anywhere that using old pads on a freshly machined or brand new disc is any concern unless the pads are crumbling badly. In fact, the best bed in of a new rotor or surface is done with old pads. You can use new but it takes longer and can be unsuccessful. Did you do a bed in properly yet as well?

Also, I don't use shims in my brakes at all, and rarely ever get squealing.

Did you do any other work? Like replacing the caster rods? If they aren't very tight they will slide a little and clunk under brakes.

Found the problem,

Tried new pads, at first if appeared fine but only worked till the bed in material had worn off.

Another set of rotors and a machine when i was in Brisbane.

Lathe must have had slight "run out' or an incorrect dye was used, which caused the issue.

Thanks

for the advise.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
