My R33 series 2

ABS motor died so want to just leave it disabled

Thinking of fitting slotted rotors to the front.

I heard that the brake piping bias is 90% to the front on ABS cars

but should be 70% if change to ABS.

Is this right, will I need to change the front to rear bias?

Need some advice.

.

How do you intend to adjust the brake bias?By buying an adjustable brake bias controller?Call a brake specialist to answer your brake bias question.

Exactly what is wrong with the abs box is it a blockage??Why dont you get it checked out and see if it can be fixed.It's worth a try.Or get a new 1.Or 2nd hand 1 etc...

I did some reading up and as u have confirmed the brakes will still function normally just without the abs.A warning light should also come on your dash telling u that your abs has sh*t itself.

I know nothing about abs brakes.

well you haven't even said whether it's an ATTESSA 4WD or 2WD Skyline, that would help..

The discs shouldn't be any different to any other discs.. take off the old ones, and put on the new. The ABS is a separate issue..

Its a 2wd gtst, thanks.

First thing I did was find out from Nissan using their consult device that the reading given is "motor off". Nissan told me to replace it.

The adjustable brake bias controller sounds interesting.

Replacing it - All up to replace it the labour cost is high and I've never experienced the ABS working properly as it was on its way out from the day I bought my car, the on off pulse was so slow, so I'm not sure if its worth fixing.

Does anyone with ABS think it works well in the skyline?

How is the vibration, does it pulse fast enough when it is working properly. For example how much slower vibration to volvo for comparisson.

If the R33 gtst ABS is any good then I guess I'd like to know who can replace my ABS motor unit and charge me less please. I'll supply the brake fluid.

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
