Still no leak,

After it had sat around for a while that was when I noticed it leaked previously, so I recon it's fixed.

There are still orings on the inside of the unit that will be deformed and no longer sealing properly, reducing the effectiveness of the abs unit.

so its more worthwhile to use the r33/r34 abs unit for longevity?

The rebuilt ABS unit is back in and (partially) bled. Took it for a spin around the block and will check for leaks tomorrow.

To bleed it properly the ABS unit needs to be operated while it's being bled with pressure. When you start the car it runs the ABS motor, but I'm not sure if its actuating the solenoids.I have a feeling these were pre-bled at the factory then installed.

Next step is to monitor the ABS with an oscilloscope so I can make a bleeding tool. Then I can bench test whole unit :)

Would you happen to be in Melb? I lost motivation but another person into electronics and cars would get me back on this project again. Got all the test tools here :)

I'm in Sydney. I have an oscilloscope now so I can monitor the solenoids when the ecu is activating them.

Ideally I would like to reprogram the ecu. The original one is designed for a new standard car, not what everyone has now.

If you don't mind, let me know your thoughts on how you plan on testing them.

Can i get an update on this? I would like to know all the materials used in this. My ABS pump is leaking around the motor and i want to rebuild the 0-rings within the unit. I have an o-ring that has about 30 different sized o-rings.

So I have rebuilt my abs pump using just some O-rings I had. It's been about a month with no leaks. I did make a video breaking down the pump.

I'm also interested in swapping in a R34 abs pump. Looks simple as the plugs are almost the same. Looks like a simple repin job.

I need the wiring diagram for the R34 abs pump. I have access to dozens of pumps and want to give this a try. An abs delete is always an option too.

R34 has 6 solenoids, R32 has 3. You need to run extra wires.

Weird. I've heard of 3 and 4 solenoid units, the difference being whether the rear wheels use a single circuit for both wheels or one for each. Any idea what the 6 are for?

ok, a search has brought me nothing yet again.

How does the r34 ABS have 6? i really could use a wiring diagram.

Which is better to swap? R34 or R33? i have access to a R33 GTR ABS pump and all R34 ABS pumps are the same from what i have seen.

Im sure there are only a handful of people that have attempted this.

Hi folks, new R32 GTR owner here, and sorry to revive an old thread.

The ABS actuator has been leaking since I got my 1990 GTR back in May this year. I would like to know if you fine folks can please share information regarding the size of O-rings, so I can gather them before I take mine to a shop for rebuild. Also, there was a mention of a video on tearing down the actuator. Is that video available?

Thank you all in advance, Squirrel.

I would have thought that a brake specialist workshop accustomed to working on ABS actuators would not only have a bunch of suitable O-rings on hand to suit any and all makes but not require their customers to source them beforehand.

Hint...I'm suggesting taking it to a brake specialist - a proper one, not one of those bloody chain store type ones you have in the US - to get it serviced. Given that you're going to take it to "a shop" for the work anyway.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
