Hi I'm having an issue with what I think is my brakes, I can feel a sort of shake or rattle coming from my brake pedal when I brake heavily from a high speed. I'm not sure if it's my brakes, suspension or any other issue such as a loose part along my axle. It feels like it could be coming from the front end but I'm not entirely sure.

Just wondering if anybody has some advice on what I should be looking around, I drive an R34 25GT.

Thanks in advance for any help

I have the same problem- front end shudders /vibrates under high speed braking. The other thing is a bit of 'sticking' on very low speed 1st and second gear upon initial start and go and then it goes away after a minute or two of driving.

Im thinking its the cold uneven rotors causing this, once it warms up a bit then its fine, am I wrong??

Nah it only happens under high speed braking, it wouldn't be because they are cold in my case, because I drive for about 20 minutes through town until I get out of town on my way to work. Then there's a couple of long straights where I really get my speed up. So they should of warmed up by then.

I had a quick look at my rotors and they look pretty smooth, haven't had a good chance to get my wheels off and have a proper look yet though.

If the brakes were sticking at start up, then it would be the rears because of the handbrake being applied. That's what I would think anyway

What's the average cost of getting rotors machined or fixed up? I was looking at getting an upgraded brake kit, but I wanna wait until I have my new rims first

When I said:

Could be ABS.

I meant it could be the ABS actually working.

Generally, most other "problems" mentioned in previous posts cause a vibration up through the steering column. ABS generates a pulsation through the brake pedal as the unit continuously applies / releases the brake pressure.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
