hello,

yes more problems with the R32 GTR!!!

last night driving around, stopped at a set of lights no harder than normal 50-0 with light braking to bring car to a stand still.

anyway, i was stopped next to a concrete wall to my left ie about 1.5m from side of car.

anyway, i pressed down on the brake pedal from where i had it to hold car still, basically to the floor and there was this loud creaking sound coming from the front left brake as i pressed the pedal down and released it.

the concrete wall allowed me to hear it from the drivers seat with windows down very very easily.

i'm not sure if it was coming from the other brakes and haven't had a chance to check it out, but it sounded like the caliper was pushing so hard on the disc rotor that it was bending the front and rear of it together, assuming the rotors are ventilated? i cant remember will have to check. they are the stock cross drilled ones though.

any ideas anyone?

i'm guessing new pads, rotors and caliper rebuild is on the cards, right?

and probably stainless lines, new fluid and whats this i keep hearing about stainless master lines or whatever?

well since i'm here, any suggestions for brake workshops in syd??

cheers guys

Dan

I had this exact same noise a little while ago in my R32 GTST... I did a full brake bleed with new fluid and it got rid of it for a while. But about a month later it came back again... :rolleyes:

About 3 weeks ago I overhauled all callipers... Got new pads and Motul Dot 5.1 fluid, and havent heard it since. Hoping it wont come back :unsure:

Cheers

Bleed your brakes properly and use decent fluid. The creaking usually means that there is air in the system. Its not hard, but if you are unsure of how to bleed your brakes, take it to a professional brake place like ABS or something. Its not much labour, so it shouldn't take long.

Lior.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
