I have search the entire brake section and can only find a few what ifs etc.

I understand that for a road car that ABS needs to be kept in for a whole host or reasons.

But for a track only car it can come out if required.

I understand that a different master cylinder is required aong with changing some of the piping which is no big deal. I have a kit for making my own hard piping so i can deal with that, even gives me the chance to install the brake bias into the system.

what is a great unknown to me is the effect it will have on the 4wd and other systems still in place. Are the wheels speed sensors connected through the ABS unit and then into the 4wd computer. If so can they could be bypassed so the 4wd still works.

i guess i need to hear for some one who has already done this swap, so i dont go in blind to a real problem before i start.

Shouldn't make any difference. Would be just the same as pulling the abs fuse.

Abs in R32's in shit and I do all track days with the fuse pulled. To slow refresh rate. As a lot of people will say, Abs in a 32 will cause a crash. The abs just unplugs at the asb unit. You can use a gtst master cyl and lines because that was what was in my car when I got it but I don't know if the pistons are different sizes?

Ok good start, but by unplugging the ABS am i unplugging the wheel speed sensors to the 4wd system. i guess if thats then the case i could just reconnect the wiring with an adpator or a lot od soldering. then if the wheel speed sensor are running through ABS that will sort that out.

need to look at diagram

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
