Hey Guys,

I'm having an issue with my breaks. When im just crusiing everything it appears the breaks don't come all the way up and i have to press them in a little harder than normal to engage the break. I took it to the mechanic and he said no break fluid was pumping through its a faulty master cyclinder.

So i paid him and he replaced it.

Since replacing it when i break sometimes the break has no response and falls straight to the floor i then need to pump it to get it to engage again. It has been bled twice and the mechanic cannot find the fault apparently it's fine when obviously i know it's not. It doesnt matter if the car is hot or cold it happens randomly.

This rarely happens anymore however im scared ill rear end someone or hurt myself/someone else.

Any idea's what it could be? Checked air pockets etc to make sure all ok but im stumped. The mechanic has driven it for 5 days without it having the issue and i need my car back.

As a GTT I assume that the car has ABS.

There are bleed nipples on the master cylinder and on the ABS Unit that also have to be bled. I found this out on my GTR - bled the brakes and there was still air in the lines and the brakes were spongy big time.

The fact that it is not a consistent problem is a concern - one of my cars had a dodge bleed nipple on a rear calliper that would leak some times and at other times be fine.

I would be getting a second opinion from a brake specialist who I could trust.

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
