Braking from high speed alone is not enough to induce flat spots on tyres.

If you're braking too hard and you manage to lock the wheels, then you'll get flat spots.

You could try and fit ABS to the car, but a better and cheaper idea might be a driver training course.

it hasnt been removed or touched ........i have 96 model so it came optional while the 97model came standarrd.

i was stuck with the optoinal and it mine never had it

Mine is pretty much factory spec.......

if i upgrade my rotors and braking will it make a difference

lol, no amount of driver training will help where abs will.

flat spots are caused by fully locking it up, you shouldnt be braking like that unless its an emergency

Its all about driver training. Flat spotting tyres is difficult (not impossible) if you drive properly.

The secret to fast track laps isnt about puting the accelerator down, its about using the brakes properly. I amy be wrong, but I dont think any serious track cars use ABS, a good driver is better than the ABS computer at this stage.

1. Learn to read the traffic, so you don't create emergencies.

2. Learn threshhold braking

I have yet to get myself into a situation on the street where I have had to activate the ABS.

what he said :huh:

in my 10 years of driving I never ever had ABS and never got in the situation where I needed one

As said in the 2 above, its all about driver training.

DONT TAILGATE and give yourself time to brake if the car infront of you locks up for no reason.

Well mine's a 97 model & it doesn't have ABS. Biggest issue with not having it I've found it braking in the wet, not so easy the water doesn't cover the road evenly (& lets face it very few roads are that regular) which is partly why I'm going to be putting some top grade tyres on this time round to help compensate. I've always been a pretty good under brakes, but I've got caught out once & that's enough for me.

Any upgrade in performance to the car (well tuned suspension & brakes) as well as upgrading your skills is always going to be a great help. Having said that I still would like to fit ABS to mine, just for that extra peace of mind. No matter how high your skill, there is no replacement for something far more failsafe like ABS in my opinion.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
