Heh guys,

Second time at Wakefield Park and still wobbling under big braking.

When i bought it, it nede new pads and machining on all 4 wheels so thats done.

I had a day at Wakefield and there is shocking vibrations under heavy braking!

Right, search the threads and chat to people on the day.

I change the brake fluid which i think improved braking with daily driving and hoped that would be the end of it.

Went to Wakefield yesterday and still Major wobbles under heavy braking.

After one round, i head into Goulburn and get a front wheel balance and tell the guy. He says the usual sory, maybe need to machine the brakes and new pads. Surely i wouldn't need to do that again after 8-10 months?!

So, i tell a guy at work and he thinks maybe the ABS could be faulty in some way. Happened to him a few years ago, got it checked out, tweaked a bit and fixed it. Does that sound right to you guy? Or is there something I can do myself? Anyone else had the same problems?

It's all fine around town etc just when doing huge braking. Takes a bit of fun out of my track days :D

thanks! :D

thank god it's not just me but i havn't got ABS (1991 model 32)

rotors are ok pads- ok just dreadful steering wheel wobble when on the anchors

one person i spoke to said to change/check the master cylinder so hopefully that will help, it gets pretty scary pulling up from a run when your brakes are shonky

do your cars surge when your slowing down from reasonably low speeds or is it just major steering interfence under heavy braking

(wheel alinment done 5000 ks ago new upper control arms 3 months ago)

No surging when slowing down.

And all seems fine around town too, even on short brake runs.

Just major shudders from high speeds ...sucks big time....

Gives me something extra to check out anyway as i don't know about these things.

Also had someone suggest check out your calipers.

So got 3 things to check now.

1) The ABS (for me anyway)

2) The master cylinder

3) The calipers.

Must be getting close....any more suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks for your replies guys

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
