Hello,

Ive had my vxr8 for 18 months now, I've only just noticed it as i have been working in Oz for 17 months. Im not sure if it was there before i left or its just happened!

The car is an automatic. I cant be sure but it seems to only judder when in gear and not in neutral? I've only driven it twice since coming back to the UK so need to test this again.

It does have a big brake kit on.

thanks people

The big brake kits don't respond well to sitting around something to do with high iron content and basically the disc surface pits do some high speed hard brake tests (when safe obviously) it cleans the surface of the disc.

Second choice is find a local on car skimming surface they do a similar job to a few high speed stops and clean the disc surface. It doesn't sound broke just needs some use to clean them up.

Drive very fast somewhere safe and brake very very hard. 3-5 times. If its still doing it maybe a skim. Not using them just makes them clog up.
