Brake Pedal Feel

[_Ryan_]

Hi all

on my 32 GTST, when i attempt to press the brake pedal all the way to the firewall, the last bit of travel feels a little notchy or something, doesnt feel quite firm or "right"... Is this the flex people speak of? and would one of those cusco or UAS brace's solve the issue? or is it more likely an issue in the booster or master?

If the pedal is going *all* the way to the firewall, you've either boiled your brake fluid or somehow let air in the system. UAS only make a brace for R33/R34s, only master cylinder stopper I know of for R32s is the Cusco ones. I put a Cusco one on my R32 GTR and it reduced my end pedal travel and made the engaging point much earlier and firmer (whereas it was pretty spongey before)

doesnt go all the way to the firewall, but when pressing brakes completely, it feels notchy at the end of the travel

this is the unit that fits http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/Cusco-Brak...ECR33-R34-10799

Is this under heavy braking? Could just be the ABS doing its thing.

no abs. when sitting on a hill for example resting with my foot on the brake to hold the car.

mine does the same. if you are stopped, then press real hard on the pedal it moves down a little plus a little noise.

Stagea doesn't.... build quality FTMFW

haha im surprised how much better built stageas are considering they are the same platform.

anyway....get someone to pump the brakes hard while you watch the master cylinder.....you will see it moving as the firewall flexes. not sure if that is what you are feeling but it definately flexes without a brace
