I was unfortunate enough that when I first got my 32 it had the front & rear single-piston calipers.

Then was lucky enough to pick up a 33 GTST for next to nothing so swapped brake calipers (& rotors) over.

They stopped the car fine but even when properly bled the pedal felt like it didnt start actually doing anything until it was about halfway down.

I figured the 33 m/c probably had a bigger bore size & even if it didnt, the 32 m/c was a weird design with fluid going to the end of the bore then doing a u-turn before getting pushed down the line, so figured even if same bore that the design was giving me the low pedal feeling.

So recently when I fitted the motor & gearbox from the 33 into my 32 I also swapped master cylinders, modifying a few lines along the way.

However, now, even with the R33 master cylinder that was originally matched to the calipers I have, I have the same low pedal feel.

I am going to re-bleed the brakes but dont think it is going to make much difference.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or has anyone had this same problem?

Thoughts & advice would be great.

Cheers,

Brett

My R32 used to feel like this too, and after upgrading from single piston to R32 GTS-t rotors and calipers the problem still occured.

Is there any way you are able to 'tighten' just the brake pedal perhaps? Mine just feels loose, it doesn't feel like it's actually in the system.

Sorry I can't help but someone else might have had a similar problem with some advice hopefully :rant:

Dont imagine master brace will help as it is first half of pedal thats soft. When I am pressing that first half there is bugger all resistance so dont think the firewall would be flexing whatsoever at that point.

& yeah, bled master cylinder before calipers but checked for air again after...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
