Where Is The Abs Unit Bleeder Nipples?

[CruiseLiner]

as topic says, im currently bleeding my brakes and ive done all 4 wheels, but ive been told i gotta do the abs unit as well, and i have a r32 gtr workshop manual and it shows they have 2 nipples on top of the unit, but the stagea one doesnt, it has 2 lines running off the top. no nipplies in sight, any ideas????

wish funkymonkey would send me that damn workshop manual and i'd know

I got my mechanic to replace the brake fluid on one of my services, and i dont think he even looked at the ABS unit, infact i'm sure he didn't cos i watched the whole process.

He just bled the brakes as u normally would with a car without ABS, and the brakes are fine.

That service manual would be handy for things like this

Is there any reason you cant just crack open the connectors on any of the five pipes on the ABS. If you follow the pipes from the brake booster it seems that they all go through the ABS. When the ABS is in operation it simply overides the pressure you are exerting thru the pedal.

The S2 has 5 pipes - 2 inlet and 3 outlets - Front left, front right and a single for the rear.

I am sure I dont need to tell you to have a hose ready and wash off any brake fluid asap before it spoils your shiney engine bay.

I don't know the stagea ABS unit but I wouldn;t worry too much if you cant find those bleeders, 99% of the bubbles/fluid come from the calipers

I just did the brakes on mine last weekend and I just bled them as I would any non abs equipped car and it is working great. Using bendix ultimates front and advance rear (was lucky enough to find these at Autobarn), castrol srf and standard machined rotors (will do a dba upgrade next time). I haven't had a chance to give it a real work out yet but the preformace is better than I had thought it was going to be. I can easially activate the ABS with out to much effort at all and very little pedal movement is required. So I don't think it matters much but if you find out how to do it then I would anyway. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Can you please give part numbers? Or are they the ones from the Brakes thread?
