I have search the entire brake section and can only find a few what ifs etc.

I understand that for a road car that ABS needs to be kept in for a whole host or reasons.

But for a track only car it can come out if required.

I understand that a different master cylinder is required aong with changing some of the piping which is no big deal. I have a kit for making my own hard piping so i can deal with that, even gives me the chance to install the brake bias into the system.

what is a great unknown to me is the effect it will have on the 4wd and other systems still in place. Are the wheels speed sensors connected through the ABS unit and then into the 4wd computer. If so can they could be bypassed so the 4wd still works.

i guess i need to hear for some one who has already done this swap, so i dont go in blind to a real problem before i start.

Shouldn't make any difference. Would be just the same as pulling the abs fuse.

Abs in R32's in shit and I do all track days with the fuse pulled. To slow refresh rate. As a lot of people will say, Abs in a 32 will cause a crash. The abs just unplugs at the asb unit. You can use a gtst master cyl and lines because that was what was in my car when I got it but I don't know if the pistons are different sizes?

Ok good start, but by unplugging the ABS am i unplugging the wheel speed sensors to the 4wd system. i guess if thats then the case i could just reconnect the wiring with an adpator or a lot od soldering. then if the wheel speed sensor are running through ABS that will sort that out.

    • Yeah. I believe the fear of annealing the alloy and weakening it, Every online discussion has someone saying it's bad and potentially a risk when powder coating forged wheels.  
    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
