Hi guys I have a 1995 R33 SII

Does this model come with ABS ??

Well it’s not working on mine. I had to change my front tyres before of this because I had flat spots on them, now again I got them on my new tyres… so I am now 100% sure that the ABS is not working.

So can anyone help me on this and tell me how I can check this?

And if you know anyone or a good place that I can take the car to get the ABS checked? I am in Sydney.

Thnaks guys..

The main point here is:

How do you continually get yourself into situations where you have to brake so hard that you lock the brakes? Change your driving style. Read the traffic ahead. Keep an eye out for idiots who might not be so savvy in the driving ability department.

ABS is for incompetents. In the 6 years I have had a car with ABS (R32 GTS4), I've activated the system maybe twice (once on the race track).

That said, I'm surprised that in the 5 or so years this forum has been around, that no-one has ever wondered if their car has ABS, and asked this very question.

Try looking at the lights on the instrument panel when you start the car - if you have ABS, then you will have a warning light show up at IGN-ON.

series 2 didn't come out in '95 only late '96 as far as I know.

motoman described the abs motor unit well, its a rectangular solid and metalic with thin tubes connected to it.

to check if its working visit Nissan and ask if they can plug their "consult" unit into it to get an error readout for you.

Why post if ur going to talk sh^t. The man jus asked if any1 knew how to fix ABS. Nobody cares that ur driving style is so far advanced than any other driver that u dont need ABS. In the 5 years ive been driving I have never heard of ne1 bagging ABS, u sir are an idiot

Hes right, ABS is for your missus falcon or commo...not a performance car, i cant stand the feel of it when its actually working, i dont have abs and ive never flat spotted a tyre in the last 4-5 years of driving. Also a 95 is a series 1.5 not series 2. By the sounds of it, he probably doesnt have abs, maybe he will learn to get a better feel for the brake pedal.

I like driving aids that act as a last resort, and only when needed.

As such, I like ABS. It doesn't kick in too early (you have to have locked up in order for it to intervene, and it can correct faster than you can cadence brake) and I can't think of a valid reason why you'd want to lock your tyres up. If you can threshold brake, it won't do anything at all. If you can drive well you should never notice, but if you f**k up it will give you a chance to bail yourself out.

Traction and stability control, on the other hand, tend to come on too early, they can think you're breaking traction / under or oversteering when you're actually not, and not do as good a job at correcting as a human....and I can think of plenty of reasons why I'd want to break traction or have the car "unstable" :(

And I've almost spun because my TCS kicked in well after my car aquaplaned and destabilised the car I had perfectly controlled.

For the guys who don't like ABS, do you like vacuum assisted brakes? Power steering? You get much better "feel" when these interfaces are unassisted (as people in Elises and AE86s keep telling me) so maybe people should pull these devices out of their Skylines too.

That said, how can you not notice if you've locked up your tyres?

It makes distinctive sounds, and leaves a distinctive smell. There's also the inherent lack of steering / instability that comes when the front / back of the car locks up.

If you drive that unaware of what the hell you and your car are doing, maybe you should hang up the hamburger-logo'ed key and pick up something that has two hula hoops.

Hi guys thanks for all ur help. I took the car to the mechanic and they had a look and said that my car is not fitted with ABS. well from now on I will have to do the manual ABS haha.. ohh well what to do … looks like even if it’s a late 95 model ABS is optional. It it seams like putting one in cost way too much.

ABS is the unit what you will usually find on the passenger side when u lifts up the hood you can see something a lil box sota unit with heaps of metal pips coming out of .. thatz the ABS unit.

Anyways take care guyz…

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
