hi all

a strange thing happend the other day,

i was driving along and all of a sudden the car started to brake all by itself, not completley(like screeching halt) but enough to slow the car like the handbrake is on half way

and the brake pedal felt like a rock to the point where it wont go down a cm but if you touch the brake pedal ever so litley the car stops extremley fast

the wierd thing is you would expect some brake burn smell ,

but all smells fine

a stop and restart of the car seemed to fix the problem for 10kms or so then back to braking on its own

its like pressure is building up and engaging the calipers but why i am not sure

i have checked brake fluid level, fine ,brake pads full and in good condition

i got 1 response from skyline owners forum saying check the master cylinder ,

but unsure how to check it

anyone know how to check or if it is something else

got me stumped

Don't be an idiot!!   take it in to a brake specialist ....fast.      I would just love to be in heavy traffic and have my brakes come on for no apparant reason

theres no way i am driving the car in this condition ,

the first time it happened i thought what is going on ,

the second time it happened i thought f*** this ,managed to get it home and thats where it is staying until it is fixed

i would never drive my car purposley knowing it was dangerous to others and myself

i figured the first time was a glitch but obviously not

now my only problem is trying to get it to a brake specialist to diagnose the problem but unfortunatley i cant afford the fee for tow truck to deliver let alone the cost of what ever it may be to fix it

so hence asking members of similar or same problem

so as i may fix myself and maybe save some money i dont have to start with

      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
