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!

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
