Can anyone please help???? Have searched the forums but cant seem to find an answer.

I recently replaced all 4 discs and pads with upgraded slotted rotors and 600 degree pads. Car was stopping beautifully after replacement.

All was working fine and did a track day at Eastern Creek and went heavy on the brakes.

At the end of one session the brake pedal went to the floor and brakes weren't stopping very well. On cool down the pedal was ok again but brakes are now spongy and wont stop like it used to before the track day.

After this incident the brakes wont lock up even I slam down the pedal. I can also hear a sound like air is leaking from front right rotor every time I drive and apply the brake. I cant see any fluid leaking anywhere but I think I can smell the brake fluid.

Anyone got any advice? greatly appreciated

    • Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?
    • Well thats probably not gonna happen right away. LOL
    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
