hey guys its usually a simple task i know but ive emptied my master cylinder completely and now i need to rebleed the whole system since installing the r34 brembos and new braided lines. this is a wgnc34 stagea im talking about.

now i have the r32 gtr workshop manual (i only got the jap stagea one so its no use to me) and it shows u need to bleed the abs unit itself, which has 2 nipples on the top of it, but the stagea one doesnt and only has 2 lines on top, so how do i bleed the abs?

obviously the rest is easy and start from the rear left wheel, rear right, front left and front right last.

any ideas on bleeding with the 4 spot brembos which have 2 nipples on each caliper? do i just do the left front wheel first and do the furthest nipple first, then the closer nipple and then the front right in the same order (starting from furthest to closest)???

any info appreciated

thanks mate but i already have the 32 gtr manual and it doesnt tell u how to bleed the brembos and it says bleed from top of the abs unit nipples in which my stagea doesnt have any and has 2 lines on top of the abs instead that run to the master cylinder.

From memory working on commodores you don't actually have too bleed the abs unit it's done automatically when you bleed all the calipers. You just have to remember when changing your pads not to just push the cyliners back in as it backfeeds the abs unit and f**ks it...Might be the same with the 33's if the units have no bleed nipple on them....

No need to bleed the ABS unit just calipers, and long as you havn't removed or replaced the master you wont even have to bleed that. Its teh same as doing a brake fluid flush, you suck the reseviour dry and just refill it then flush the lines..no need the bleed the master.

If you do run into trouble however you can do a pressure bleed on the master by cracking the lines while you have a helper pump up and hold the pedal.

R33 ABS unit is probably bled with the consult/scan tool electronically

So what's the trick to get the pistons back into the calipers safely when ABS is fitted ?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
