Hey I took my car in to get a problem with ABS diagnosed (Light stays on permanently), this was their response:

"Scan ABS Module for fault codes. Code 21 - ABS Motor.

Checked ABS wheels sensors for operation, all ok on current data.

Suspected faulty ABS motor unit"

I am now in the process of buying a replacement motor. I was wondering if someone could help me identify it. I've attached a pic, is this the 'ABS motor' circled???

Thanks for your help.

ABS is driven by hydraulics. At the bottom of he ABS unit there is an electric (12 volt) motor that drives the hydraulic pump that makes the ABS work. No motor = no pumping = no ABS working.

My experience has been that it is cheaper (when labour is included) to buy a complete ABS unit. Check around the import wreckers for one and compare prices, they vary a lot.

:) cheers :P

Yeah what you have circled is the ABS, what you will find as with most modern systems is that it is the module (like computer) and also the hyraulic motor. Look forward to paying top dollar for one of these... it would be unwise to buy second hand because they are a precise peice of gear and internal clearances are extremely tight, so for peace of mind go new.. bummer.

Jeebuz christ! :geek:

Thats just crazy!

I've bought a second hand unit for $80, which i'll get installed and hopefully solve my problem. Failing that, i'll check out the relay that you're talking about.

Where abouts did you source the relay from?

i got that quote from Nissan in the brisbane area.. Cant remember which one cause i tried a few.

But yeah, the bloke at nissan did tell me to try an import parts place as they will be a lot cheaper... and they were right..

Anyway, i got my relay from rscomponents.com.au. They will have to order it from the UK. I did an exact search (from the info given on the relay) and that's what they provided me with.

hope it helps.

Best thing to do would be to just purchase a ABS unit looking at the part number. When you mention 'GTR' to a wrecker, they'll just over charge. When I had to replace my unit, I just asked for an ABS unit for an R32 with 'X' part number.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
