Abs On A R32gtst

[super_s13]

I have done some searches on here and only really find stuff to do with r32 gtr. Is this different to r32gtst abs. I have just competed in the Motorkhana on dirt and had trouble stopping in time at the finish due to the ABS kicking in and out. I was thinkin about removing it.

Is this a big job do i need to worry about anything else being affected. Ie hicas. I also want to lock that should i do it all at once. Is there anything i need to consider before doing it. Pros and cons of doing this. Is there a fuse that i can just remove.

I just dont like the peddle feel i have never driven with ABS before and really prefer the feel knowing when things will lock up and how much peddle to press. If that makes sense i would love some assistance in this matter.

Cheers in advance

The ABS is supposed to "kick in and out". It is not designed to work on dirt. If anything, you want the wheels to stay locked - the pile of dirt that builds up under the tread assists stopping.

Rather than remove the ABS, try learning "threshhold braking".

ABS locks on then off then on then off and the peddle was getting a mad shutter which i was told from people there that that is the abs kicking in as i was sliding along the dirt. I did not like it at all. Would prefer no abs at all.

OK just googles threshold braking will give it a try next time. Thanks for that.

Tis kinda what i was getting at but i found it easy to do with out abs.

It's easy to do, even with ABS. I've only activated the ABS maybe twice on my GTS4. First time was on the racetrack, shortly after I got the car. Second when I was out with a mate, and would have run up his arse if I didn't get the ABS working.

Generally, I know how hard I can press the pedal without activating the ABS.

Yeah the R32 ABS is rubbish - you will stop better without it if you know what you are doing.

On the other hand, doing 110km/hr on the freeway in rain, i'd rather know the ABS is there for that situation. Not sure, but it might be possible to set up a system so you can turn it on or off depending on road/track etc. use.

Just unplug the module and try it with no ABS next time.

x2.

Temporarily disabling ABS should be as easy as pulling a fuse?

[rotort]

just pull the abs fuse in the engine bay fuse box, i pulled mine after taking car on track first time, and just put it back in when back on the road, other bad thing about ABS is it basically gives you no brakes when going backwards, it just forces the pedal back at your foot

Just piss it off. I have run off the track a few times because I have forgotten to remove the abs fuse so I just leave it out now. The R32 abs reacts so slow. You try and modulate the pedal but it doesn't turn off and it doesn't stop you either. Its useless. Just full the fuse in the engine bay to disengage it. If it doesn't help you stop quicker on the track or on a slippery skid pan it not going to help on the road (wet or dry). You can run a gtst non abs master cyl and lines to remove it completely.

For the comment I know where the threshhold is I think you are touching yourself a little. Different road grip and smoothness of the road effects how hard you can brake.

If you can't hear and feel the wheels starting to lock up occasionally combined with modulating the pedal your not pushing hard enough is my opinion with a 32.
