Hello just wondering if anyone ever worked out a way to purge the abs unit in a 33/34 without a Nissan consult-1 scan tool. If not does anyone know where or how I can get a hold of one of these bloody scan tools nowadays, cheers.

I believe Consult-2 also works. Unfortunately Nissan did not implement a way to manually run the ABS motor by jumping a wire in the diagnostic connector or put a bleeder on the module block itself. Someone else can jump in if I read the FSM wrong but there is only mention of how to clear codes without a scan tool. So if you don't have a scan tool you need to somehow jump pin 5 on the ABS actuator module to ground without disrupting the other connections with a momentary switch:

Thanks heaps for the reply Josh

It would have been nice if the consult-3 could talk to older Nissan's with some sort of adaptor..

I'll just have to see if I can do the old jump on the brake pedal to cycle the solenoids or reverse bleed the system but I'm worried reverse bleeding will just fill the master with air instead haha.

Thanks man I'll keep it in mind about jumping pin 5 if all else fails! Kudos

There used to be a PC program you could download called conzult that covered all models in the consult scan tools and gave you entire access of all onboard computers just like having the real unit but they ended up settling it's use for the 300zx only, due to not enough sales. I'd pay $300 for that in a heartbeat right now.

Reverse bleeding probably won't work as well as one would hope, you need absolutely zero air around the threads of the bleeder and at the entrance into the bleed nipple as well or else you're going to be pumping air bubbles through the lines. I don't know if the ABS module needs to have the solenoids activated as well, I figure if the older R32 could just be bled passively you probably can just use the motor + pressure in the master cylinder to flush bubbles out with sufficient flow velocity. Really is a shame more cars don't have something like the Toyota Prius' invalid mode which triggers the ABS pump for you when you press the brake pedal for thorough bleeding without a scan tool. ABS pumps also flow a ton of fluid compared to just simple pressure at the master cylinder.

Also, if you really want to pay for a scan tool supposedly the Launch X431 scan tool supports the Skylines if you get the 14 pin OBD1 adapter, I would try it myself but my car is hundreds of miles away from me at the moment:

I've always gone and slammed the brakes and pull up the handbrake a little to upset the ABS computer causing the ABS motor to turn on.

Get it to run a couple of times and re-bleed. You should be good after that.

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
