Hey,as above when i release my handbrake the red light on the dash stays light up like its still on.

Is this a common occurance with r32's?

It still drives normal,just now i have the hicass light and handbrake light both on while driving now

hicass isn't a problem though(lockbard)

should i get it fixed urgent or is it just a bung light/wire?

cheers

the handbrake light on the dash links to the brake fluid reservior as well- make sure there is enought fluid - could also be a faulty connector on the reservoir or handbrake etc - hicas light could be related not sure though havent had this issue myself

Thanks Shaun,you were right first off, low on brake fluid.

Mods can delete now if wanted.

nah,hicas light stays on because i disconnected it along with all its components and put a lockbar inplace.

the hicas light being on is normal,was just saying because 2 red lights on the dash doesn't look good let alone 1.

with my work ute(hilux) the mechanic said when the brake fluid is low it means the brake pads

are running thin.

Could it be the same case with the skyline even though i haven't really felt a loss of brakes so far?

You should be able to noitce to the point where it takes a long time to stop.

If your brake fluid is low, check your brake pads. Machine your disks and put new pads in and the fluid will go back up. You might need a slight top up tho.

Thats the only thing I can think of unless you run a Diagnostics of the car to see where the error lies in the electrical system.

had any dvd installed? or dash come off?

when i had my dvd installed they tap into your handbrake (by law) so the screen turns off when it's down.. and my handbrake light stayed on even though the handbrake was down..

either that or a wire has fault maybe? a point to check on

Ill take it for another drive tonight double check the brakes then,

ill take a wheel off and check the meat on the pads.

Nah,no dvd player or dash installs.

see how i go.

Im thinking its just a simple wire coming loose..Your probly right Craig.

Hey,i went for another drive thisarvo and the light went off as soon as i dropped the handbrake,just must of needed

abit more time for the 'thing' to acknowledge i put more brake fluid in.

Thanks everybody for your help,much appreciated :)

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
