hi all

a strange thing happend the other day,

i was driving along and all of a sudden the car started to brake all by itself, not completley(like screeching halt) but enough to slow the car like the handbrake is on half way

and the brake pedal felt like a rock to the point where it wont go down a cm but if you touch the brake pedal ever so litley the car stops extremley fast

the wierd thing is you would expect some brake burn smell ,

but all smells fine

a stop and restart of the car seemed to fix the problem for 10kms or so then back to braking on its own

its like pressure is building up and engaging the calipers but why i am not sure

i have checked brake fluid level, fine ,brake pads full and in good condition

i got 1 response from skyline owners forum saying check the master cylinder ,

but unsure how to check it

anyone know how to check or if it is something else

got me stumped

Don't be an idiot!!   take it in to a brake specialist ....fast.      I would just love to be in heavy traffic and have my brakes come on for no apparant reason

theres no way i am driving the car in this condition ,

the first time it happened i thought what is going on ,

the second time it happened i thought f*** this ,managed to get it home and thats where it is staying until it is fixed

i would never drive my car purposley knowing it was dangerous to others and myself

i figured the first time was a glitch but obviously not

now my only problem is trying to get it to a brake specialist to diagnose the problem but unfortunatley i cant afford the fee for tow truck to deliver let alone the cost of what ever it may be to fix it

so hence asking members of similar or same problem

so as i may fix myself and maybe save some money i dont have to start with

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
