Hi Guys,

i have a R33 skyline rb25DET Manual coupe

Just had a question regarding my brakes. is a little bit of a noob question :P aha

basically i will be driving along and just say i slightly put my foot on the brake to slow down coming up to a set of traffic lights if i down shift a gear to slow down as well while my foot is still on the brake the pedal depresses down further. They seem to be a little spongy and not as touchy as they used to be. I have noticed that if you are just idling and press the brake pedal repeatedly a couple of times it takes a couple of pushes till you cant push anymore also the revs go up and down slightly while you do this .

What do you think it is ?

Brakes just need a good bleed ?

Master cylinder gone ??

or brake booster ??

Thanks

it would be to do with the brake booster as it has a vaccum feed from the engine. the higher the vaccum, the more power it has.

as for pumping the brakes, pretty sure that's normal as you are just pumping up the pressure in the system. and i have a feeling that the brakes in my commodore do a similar thing as yours do when pushing the clutch in, etc, when the vaccum changes (such as turning on the aircon, etc, since it's an auto)

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
