Hi all,

I remeber a thread about a week ago about ABS. Now someone mentioned an ABS light on the dash.

I have a 96 SII GTST, which apparently has ABS. On the Japanese auction report mentions ABS, etc, etc.

Now, i have no ABS light i can see come on. I have HICAS, ENGINE, Etc, etc.

Is there any way I can check if it has abs without slamming the breaks on while driving? anyone got a photo of the abs module in the engine bay?

Cheers,

Ace.

ABS module is on the right near the top of the firewall. Its a big metal thing with lots of little metal pipes going into the top. I only just found out what it looked like the other week myself, as mine is a series1.

There is also a control computer under your centre console glovebox

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but can someone provide a picture of the ABS module?

I don't have an ABS light on the dash but in the fuse box under the bonnet i have the 2x abs fuses plugged in - Just wondering if this car has ABS (1995 s1.5 (i think) R33, driver airbag, higher wing etc) but maybe the dash has been changed at one stage?

Or in non-ABS cars, do they just give you the ABS fuses cause they are feeling generous? :)

I might have to slam on the brakes to see if they lock up but I guess if I had a picture of the module I can visually inspect whether ABS is there or just spare fuses plugged into the ABS slot

Thx

Hay mate, it also same happan to me, my car 96 GTST also doesn't have ABS as well.

If u wanted to know whether u have ABS or not , u can take ur car to the garage to ask. Or try it by urself, simply drive about 60Kms, and then totally stop the car, repeat it fews times. If the wheel didn't knock while u were braking. Then u has got a ABS. But if ur wheels is locking, that mean u doesn't have ABS. Hope it could help.( If i'm wrong, plz correct me!)

Cheers

Steven

there's really an easier way guys....just pop your bonnet and have a look.......look for the ABS module similar to the one cobo_11 posted...it'll be in the upper right corner of the engine bay:D

guys as everyone here has seemed to mention...just pop ur damn hood up and see if u have a big metal block with 4 or so pipes commin out in the upper l/h corner of ur car. or just look at ur firewall at the back of the engine block...if u have two small metal pipes runnin along there then u dont have abs...but if u have 4 then u have abs...now all u have to do is follow these 4 pipes that will lead u to the big metal block which is the mysterious abs module thingy mah jig that no one can seem to find. go out now and have a look before u forget:D:D

    • I mean this in no disrespect to u mate; Are there clear tagged examples/explanations in our SAU forum for example, in my interest, this is how to do R34 Gtt suspension the right way? U guys did so much taking risks with experimentation that deserves recognition and those results helps us morons take the RIGHT path to buy quality / buy once. 🍻
    • Pretty much what you'd expect at that power level. Hypergear turbo, long list of supporting mods, full Haltech catalogue, etc.  I'd say this goes for most drivers, suspension is still a dark art for most people. And it's really hard to convince someone how much better their setup could be...  
    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
