Abs Working Too Much ? R33 Gts-t

I've had an, R33 GTR Brembo kit installed onto my Series 1 GTS-t.

Using ELF HTX115 dot 4 fluid and Green Stuff pads, it certainly pulls up better but still you need to put so much pressure on the pedal for a sudden stop.

Rotors are 324 x 32mm and got about 2mm between the calipers and spokes.

I think the ABS is overworking, or set too strong.

The initial clamping is too gradual.

Even if you stamp on the pedal hard as hell, it feels no where near lock up.

How does the module work, and is it adjustable in any way.

How can you test or compare the module or is it just malfunctioning.

Has anyone disabled it or is this not recommended.

Look forward to some comments.

:D

If the ABS is working properly, when you stomp the brake pedal, you should get a pulsation back through the pedal as the ABS continually slackens off and re-applies the pressure to the fluid.

isnt the whole purpose of ABS to stop you from locking up???

Yes, but some systems are too intrusive. They could let you stop faster and still have the ABS enabled, but they dont. Im not sure of the reasons why, someone else might be able to explain that.

How hard are we talking here?

Take the car some where with no traffic, and smooth, level roads and brake a hard as you can from 70 or 80km/h to zero and get back to us about weather the pedal pulses when abs kicks in. You may just have really good tyres that just keep on gripping (no bad thing).

i have found the 33 GTST system to be quite intrusive and cuts in too early like you describe. i've found my 32 GTR one to be later to cut in, allowing me to snatch a brake every now and then before cutting in. my 32 GTST has no abs and the pedal feel is much firmer and nicer.

i dont think there is much you can do about it. it's the characteristics of early 90s ABS systems with the ecu programmed for street use/safety. the GTR one may be programmed more agressively i'm not sure.

Definitely too intrusive.

I will shortly perform a brake test and get back with the results.

I wonder if the module can be replaced with an R34 GTR one.

How can it be diagnosed through a computer?

Years ago I had a 1984 model Alfa GTV 2.0.

That thing could outbrake a 911 Carrera at the time.

Awesome.

Wouldn't mind the same feel considering the Brembo upgrade ! :laughing-smiley-014:

Test result :

From 80km/h to stop.

Heavy brake.

Car stopped at around 25-30 metres.

Felt a gradual smooth brake for around 2 secs, then pulsed.

The car still felt like it travelled too far.

From 70km/h to stop.

Absolute full stomp.

Car stopped in under 20 metres.

Felt ABS immediately and managed to get a tiny lockup on the fronts.

I'm talking less than 300 mm slide.

Just don't get that pressure against the seat belt like other cars.

The brakes almost feel like they're not power assisted.

On a sudden stop, I have to apply so much pressure on the pedal, I'm afraid it's gonna break or bend.

Normal braking is ok.

Don't have braided lines or a stopper,should have done it on the upgrade

Going to look into changing the ABS module as well.

To be continued...

Hey,

just for some input.

I threw some tyres on my old pulsar that I'd had lying around for a short term fix but because they were different diameters, that is bigger on the front, the front revolved slightly slower than the back. The abs picked this up as the front wheel locking up under breaks. It wouldn't let me brake like before. It was kicking in so early that it was dangerous. I pulled a fuse and turned off the ABS.

Its a really long shot, and probably not your issue, but I'm just trying to help.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
