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.

    • 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.
