when i brake next to a wall and can hear whats going on, i can hear a kinda of creaking sound as i apply the brakes harder

i'm guessing this might be the firewall flexing and could be stopped with a master cylinder stopper?

thanks

I have the same sound and i have fitted a brake master cylinder stopper to my R32. It didn't go away.

If you find out let me know. Do you have ABS? Is it leaking?

I think I know what sort of sound you're talking about... is it more noticeable when turning and breaking? I asked a mechanic about it and they told me that because the discs are floating discs that there's still a little bit of movement and that would cause the creaking sound. I've also installed a UAS Master Cylinder Stopper.

pretty sure it's coming from in the engine bay, i can make it do the sound when the car is sitting still

no ABS

i do have a TINY leak on one of the connections for one of the lines off the master cylinder, it's damp around the connection while we're at it anyone know how to fix a leak like that?

i have similar problem on me r33 gtst. ive changed the caliper, put in slotted disc and changed pads as well as i put on coilovers so everything is changed on that side. it still makes screatching noise from the right wheel when brake hard and keeps making the noise when applying brakes later. but not as much it did earlier. mechanic didnt know what to do.

All R32's the MBC flexes, the ones that have hit the track alot or used in the mountains will tend to have the most flex, I put a Cusco Master Brake Stopper on my R32 GTR and it did wonders for the pedal travel (alot less before engagement point)

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
