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 :no:

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 :no:

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 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.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
