Abs Working Too Much ? R33 Gts-t

I've had an, R33 GTR Brembo kit installed onto my Series 1 GTS-t.

Using ELF HTX115 dot 4 fluid and Green Stuff pads, it certainly pulls up better but still you need to put so much pressure on the pedal for a sudden stop.

Rotors are 324 x 32mm and got about 2mm between the calipers and spokes.

I think the ABS is overworking, or set too strong.

The initial clamping is too gradual.

Even if you stamp on the pedal hard as hell, it feels no where near lock up.

How does the module work, and is it adjustable in any way.

How can you test or compare the module or is it just malfunctioning.

Has anyone disabled it or is this not recommended.

Look forward to some comments.

:D

If the ABS is working properly, when you stomp the brake pedal, you should get a pulsation back through the pedal as the ABS continually slackens off and re-applies the pressure to the fluid.

isnt the whole purpose of ABS to stop you from locking up???

Yes, but some systems are too intrusive. They could let you stop faster and still have the ABS enabled, but they dont. Im not sure of the reasons why, someone else might be able to explain that.

How hard are we talking here?

Take the car some where with no traffic, and smooth, level roads and brake a hard as you can from 70 or 80km/h to zero and get back to us about weather the pedal pulses when abs kicks in. You may just have really good tyres that just keep on gripping (no bad thing).

i have found the 33 GTST system to be quite intrusive and cuts in too early like you describe. i've found my 32 GTR one to be later to cut in, allowing me to snatch a brake every now and then before cutting in. my 32 GTST has no abs and the pedal feel is much firmer and nicer.

i dont think there is much you can do about it. it's the characteristics of early 90s ABS systems with the ecu programmed for street use/safety. the GTR one may be programmed more agressively i'm not sure.

Definitely too intrusive.

I will shortly perform a brake test and get back with the results.

I wonder if the module can be replaced with an R34 GTR one.

How can it be diagnosed through a computer?

Years ago I had a 1984 model Alfa GTV 2.0.

That thing could outbrake a 911 Carrera at the time.

Awesome.

Wouldn't mind the same feel considering the Brembo upgrade ! :laughing-smiley-014:

Test result :

From 80km/h to stop.

Heavy brake.

Car stopped at around 25-30 metres.

Felt a gradual smooth brake for around 2 secs, then pulsed.

The car still felt like it travelled too far.

From 70km/h to stop.

Absolute full stomp.

Car stopped in under 20 metres.

Felt ABS immediately and managed to get a tiny lockup on the fronts.

I'm talking less than 300 mm slide.

Just don't get that pressure against the seat belt like other cars.

The brakes almost feel like they're not power assisted.

On a sudden stop, I have to apply so much pressure on the pedal, I'm afraid it's gonna break or bend.

Normal braking is ok.

Don't have braided lines or a stopper,should have done it on the upgrade

Going to look into changing the ABS module as well.

To be continued...

Hey,

just for some input.

I threw some tyres on my old pulsar that I'd had lying around for a short term fix but because they were different diameters, that is bigger on the front, the front revolved slightly slower than the back. The abs picked this up as the front wheel locking up under breaks. It wouldn't let me brake like before. It was kicking in so early that it was dangerous. I pulled a fuse and turned off the ABS.

Its a really long shot, and probably not your issue, but I'm just trying to help.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
