Shaking Brakes In A R32

Hey guys,

Just bought myself a nice 32 but it seems that there something wrong with the brakes.

The car and steering wheel shakes like mad when I put the brakes on from anywhere higher that 40k/hr

A first I thought that it was the ABS so I took out the ABS fuse and it still does exactly the same thing.

The discs looked like that were recently skimmed, but I have not had a chance to check out the state of the pads.

Please help me guys!

Thanks and thanks for such a great forum!

could be a number of things mate...

your best bet is to take it to a reputable brake/suspension workshop, and have them take a look at it... its just not worth the risk of taking compromises and stuffing around when it comes down to the handling or braking of your car....

not necessarily... if you have a warped rotor, when you brake it will grab the high points on the rotor, but not the low points, effectively making it an "on/off/on/off" type effect... now if the other rotor isn't warped, it will be on the whole time... and when the warped rotor gets to 'off', the rotor that isn't warped will still be grabbing, and pull the car to the side, effectively making you turn the wheel to keep it in a straight line....

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
