Ok I just bought an R32 GTS with abs brakes,

It had hardly any brake fluid left and the antilock light was always on. So I blead the whole brake system calipers and abs thingy. The brakes work really well now but the anti lock light turns off and on whilst I'm driving it.

I gotta take it to regency in the next week or so, will they defect the car for that?

Anyone have any ideas???

Weird I had the same problem a few months ago. My brakes were leaking at the ABS because of a poorly tightened flare nut. Before I noticed the issue I had to slow rather quickly, and the light showed up as I felt the ABS startting to operate. All was well though, brakes still were fine, fixed the leak, bled the brakes, and had the light come on randomly during a drive (this lasted for a few weeks, driving twice a week). Diagnostics showed the ABS had a problem with it's solenoid. After a few weeks it stopped by itself, I've always assumed it was an air pocket. A recent bleeding (only at the calipers) supported my theory since a little more air came out after a few pumps. Since then it's been fine, no leaks, no air, no lights. Hope it shed's light.

For regency, remove bulb, but being me, I'd always make the assumption a good regency worker would check to see if the ABS lights up when the ignition is first turned to ON. If I had to test 'the operation of fitted ABS' it's be one of the things I'd check.

My abs light came on the other day, all fluids were full so I examined the fuse in the driver's side engine bay, it looked fine. Then I pulled apart the connectors on the passenger side near the ABS module, thinking they might be corroded or soemthing, but they looked ok. Then I pulled the relays inside the actual black box.

Started it up and light is off.

Maybe as a first step clean all the little electrical contacts etc and see if it helps>? Also do a search on "abs light" the solution can be relativley simple or as serious as getting a new motor unit.

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
