Hi all,

I have a bit of a problem with my R32 at the moment....

My brakes 'creak' when i'm braking, and you can feel the pedal 'slip' a tad (i.e. less than 1mm) lower with each creak... Is this air in the system?

I had the brakes Bled probably a month? ago, and they used Motul RBF600 Fluid (which is what i already had in there) and they said that they bled all the air out of the system, but that it was bad before they did... and it felt okay. I did a track day they day after they bled them, and the brakes felt fantastic,was able to push 10/10ths into a corner without fear that it was going to randomly lock a wheel unless i was being stupid with the brakes. Well after the bleed/track day, the creak MOSTLY went away, but was still there a bit... anyway, lately the creak is back, and i was giving my brakes a bit of a workout on the way home, as they feel a bit doughy, and every time i used more than about 1/2 the pedal, it would lock the rears and send the ass end of the car to try and meet the front....

Now, to me, this sounds like i've got some big air bubbles in my front lines... i was wondering what everyone elses opinions of the matter are?

the noise is sticky pistons in the calipers(usally only one is doing it)

peel the dust boot back on the noisy one and carfully push the piston out but not all the way!

get some brake caliper lube(clear liquid used during an overhaul.)

cote it nicly and push it back in and your done. :)

every third 32 i comply has this noise!

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
