Warning Light Whilst Cornering -r32 Gtr

[Lunatikk]

Noticed this for the 1st time Sat night & again this morning- whilst either taking a 270` turn to the right on a normal-sized round-a-bout or a 180` turn to the left (feeder onto M1) at a decent pace, I'm getting the HANDBRAKE warning light coming on (NOT the HICAS light) whilst the car is under g-load. Nothing else is showing abnormal readings at the time (oil pressure fine, no over-boost etc etc)

Driving normally thru same intersections this does not happen & conversly, pushing hard thru a larger radius round-a-bout or corner (Centenatry Mwy/Ipswich Mwy round-a-bout for example) again at pace nothing lights up on the dash either. The car seems to be responding normally in all cases, just wanting to know why the light may be coming on & what else, if anything, is wired to the same warning light??

Cheers all

John

Top up the brake fluid in the master cylinder.

Doh!!

Just had a look & the reservior is 1/2 empty, next thing is to find out where it's all going

Guess that will teach me not to look first & ask questions later.......

Got a set of 8-spot Brembos to go on so I guess now's as good as any

Thanx for that Elk, next time I'm in Melb I'll buy you a beer

No problems, the beer isn't necessary.

It might be something as simple as the pads are worn, and pushing the pistons back out to accommodate new pads will "refill" the reservoir; worst case is something like a leak in the ABS unit (been there, done that!).
