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.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
