My Abs Is Bunged!

Hey all,

Well about a week ago my ABS warning light came on in my R33 GTS25t. I thought it must just be the pads need replacing, as I know they were getting low. Anyway, I've had a look and the pads seem ok for now, so I thought I'd try an emergency brake. The wheels locked up, so my ABS is caput...

Brake fluid level is fine..

Could it be wheel speed sensor related, or is it the actual ABS unit? If so how much are parts to replace/repair? I don't know a whole lot about this..

Cheers :)

Yo guys, I had exactly the same prob with my ABS.

Checked fuses, I've got PFC so i couldnt check diagnostics.. Checked sensors, everything. Ended up being a busted ABS module (The thing in the top right of your engine bay with all the lines running into it)

I got a replacement off someone on SAU for $80, and got a brake place to fit it (cost about $50).. Good as new!!

Just make sure to check the model number of the replacement before you buy it! Keep an eye out for wrecking R33 threads, and post a WANT TO BUY ad in the WANT TO BUY section :P

Good luck!

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
