hi all

i'm having a problem stopping , it's not that i dont have any brakes at all , it's just some times when pulling up for those last 20m that the brake pedal goes hard and it's not wanting to stop , driving along and standing on the brakes is ok , stops on the spot , its just the slow crawl , i've checked what i can but out of ideas , any one else had this problem , the car is an r33 s2.

Cheers.

I have'nt touched the fluid side of things but I did take the vacuum line of the booster

When i first read your post i was thinking booster vacuum leak. Double check what you did with the vac line. They can also leak internally, so if you have a vacuum pump check that as well.

Commonly known as break shutter, happens often, would recommend getting discs machined!

odd problem

to me sounds it like a brake booster issue, maybe a leak in the diaphragm, enough of a seal for a quick stop. but the longer stop is long enough for it to leak out all the vacuum and be ineffective. kinda like if u try to brake with the engine turned off, no vacuum assist and fkn heavy pedal!

hope that might help ya

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
