I have a 25G Stagea that is virtually a S2 R33. The brakes are a PITA> Awhile back the ABS light came on and is still on. Then the hand (foot) brake would not disengage so it was disconnected. Car went OK and stopped OK. Now there is a constant buzzing coming from the ABS unit on the firewall. It even buzzes when you switch off and take the key out.

Has anyone got any clues?

Also have read that Drifters disconnect the ABS. Can this be done by just pulling the fuses in the engine compartment? And what effect will it have when driving normally?. I want to get it fixed properly but will have to drive from Tamborine to the Coast. Is that dangerous?

Hope you can help.

My opinion would be not to drive it til you can get it looked at. If you apply the brakes in an emergency situation, they may not work effectively or may fail completely. Your foot brake would not be the cause for any of the problems you are having, as it works via a cable that runs to the drum inside the rear discs and activates a pair of brake shoes. Either the ABS module is at fault or there could be problems with wheel speed signal to the module.

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.

      Forgot to mention. I love the fact that Greg, Gregged Up, the model of his car, that has so many gregged up stories about its build! I had to have a little laugh. At the same time thinking "That's the sort of thing I'd do to myself!"
