More R32 Brake Queries

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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
