Help:- Brake Fade Problem

[BRUNSKIGTST]

sounds allot like the master cylinders is gone finito caput lolz. but could be brake booster as well but master should be the problem that is from experience. but can never hurt to be check by a professional and get this problem fixed asap or else it will happen again and it can be scary if that happens where no brake power and u going down a hill thats from experience and hope no one experiences that lolz

oh true, i might just do that then.. I think my dad will be able to diagnose it if it is the master or booster, the tech hasn't changed thaaat much in the last 20 years i hope..

This sort of saves me making another thread, so i'll semi- hijack yours

I have a gtr with standard rotors, (well standard spec, not slotted or anything tho) and some high performance pad (i saw them in a catalogue and they're quite exxy green ones)

Anyways after doing a few spur run's i locked up the brakes a lil coming into a corner and had the abs light come on, it braked fine but about 10 minutes later when i stopped at some lights i could push my pedal all the way to the floor, and pumping didn't really work. By the time i had gotten home the problem had almost gone and now when i drive it it brakes fine but it doesn't seem as responsive.

More effort is needed to brake (it still brakes easily enough) and my corolla and val both brake alot easier than the gtr. I can't really remember how it was before you but considering the size of the brakes i'm guessing they're normally alot more responsive.

It has plenty of fluid and i only bled the brakes about 1500 km's ago, i'm thinking maybe the diaphragm is gone but i'm not sure, maybe gtr's have a bit of take up b4 they break standard.

Also 1 other thing, idk if it's bad but it never happened in my old car, my brakes smoke a fair bit after a hard-ish run, they don't smell oddly enough at all but they smoke a fair bit

Ne ways, no idea about the 2nd bit but does the 1st problem sound like master cylinder is shot?

I think you've boiled the fluid. Some liquid or air might have got in there. Bleed the brakes again and that should fix it for now but if it happens again then look to the master cylinder. It's not the booster.
