hey all,

ive had this problem ever since i got my car,

when braking the steering wheel pulls in the 1 direction, harder i brake harder it pulls?

any1 had this problem or know to to fix it?

cheers

Inspect your brakes condition. The brakes on the side your steering wheel is pulling towards are working much beter than the ones on the opposite end.

I had that problem on my previouse car.

Hope this helps a little.

:(

if the road has any camber it will pull under hard braking, at least, mine does.. I guess you tried on both sides of a cambered road?

Try taking the wheels off and inspect all the pads and disks. Maybe you could try swapping the pads with the other side and see how that goes.

Otherwise maybe get the brake lines bled or new pads?

Seized brake calliper (opposite side to which it pulls).

+1 This is the most likely option. You might be able to get the piston moving, but you really should rebuild the caliper. Its pretty easy to do.Try racebrakes for a seal kit.

rebuild (for me) was;

1. get pistons out (i did this using the brake pedal and gradually putting thinner and thinner shims in where the pads were, as a way of getting all pistons out evenly most of the way) then removed calipers pulled them out the last bit with pliers

2. Remove old seals from pistons

3. Clean up any scoring on the piston with 1200 wet n dry, thoroughly clean everything

4. Put new seals on, wetted with brake fluid

5. Re-install pistons with pistons and inside of caliper wetted with brake fluid

6. Install dust seals

7. Install caliper + bleed

If you're handy its a piece of piss

Again as other have said it's most likely a seized caliper, but I thought I'd share my experience as food for thought...

I had a similar problem in my old r34 when my front camber or toe bushes were shot

but also had a slight wheels shudder everytime the car hit 110 on the highway.

I had the wheels re-aligned twice before I realised I needed some new bushes, the first time the alignment got rid of the problem, but came back over time so I had my suspension checked out

some new bushes, castor arms and a wheel balance/alignment and the problem was solved.

Recent update :)

i recently replaced the rear brake pads and bled the system made a slight difference but it still pulls :blush:

ill bust off the front brakes and have a good hard look this weekend :banana: if all i need is a seal kit to fix the calipers then i can get them for like $40 each caliper :banana:

ill have to inspect the front bushes, before i bought the car it had all new bushes installed so they shouldnt be the problem :banana: i will how ever have a good look at the fron bushes and castor arms ;)

    • 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
