Warning (park Brake) Light Coming On With A Hard Right Turn?

Hey all,

So I've only had my GTR for a couple of months, and now that I've stopped babying it and started driving it "properly", I've started to notice something weird..

When I make a right hand turn (with a bit of pace), the red (!) light on the dash comes on - i.e the handbrake light, but I assume in this case the car is trying to tell me something different. And sometimes it stays on for a little while after the turn.

Has anyone come across this before? Does it sound like a damaged engine mount causing the engine to rock too much or something? Or maybe a HICAS fault?

FWIW it's a 1994 R32 GTR with a bunch of mild mods (exhaust/intake/highflowed turbos/apexi FC/boost) and Buddy Club coilovers.

low brake fluid mate. check the master cylinder for level (and your pads are probably pretty low too, or you might have a minor leak at the master cylinder). Brake fluid shouldnt go anywhere so if you top it up and the light comes back later get the master checked out properly.

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
