G'Day,

I want to remove the ABS off my GTR. I assume I use a GTS-T master and run some new lines, but what happens to the attesa system, as it uses the ABS sensors. Will unplugging the abs unit interfere with the 4wd?

What makes you say that?

The ATTESSA unit has a number of inputs/outputs that also affect the ABS operation. So if you deactivate the ATTESSA system you render the ABS useless as well as the 4WD system. But this is not the same as saying you can/can't remove the ABS without upsetting the ATTESSA system.

Secondly, why would you want to revert to a GTS-T master cylinder? It is too small in bore size.

My mistake, looked through the manual and it seems that losing any of the abs actuators / motor relay / or circuit will just disable the abs not 4wd, as you said. I was thinking along the lines of the hicas where one thing kills the lot in that module.

A question for you as well,

What is the bore size of gtst and gtr master cylinders? I have 32'R brakes and I am unsure of the master cylinder matching, brakes are horrendous though..

Secondly, why would you want to revert to a GTS-T master cylinder? It is too small in bore size.

I thought the GTST and GTR Caliper's had the same size pistons, therefore, I thought I would use a GTST non ABS master cylinder with the three outlets. Is this not the way to go? What is the way to go?

Has anyone disconnected their ABS unit and done a launch to see if all 4 spin? I would but my engine is broken.

Model Type Master Cylinder Diameter

S15 Spec R BM50 25.4mm

300zx turbo BM50/57 25.4 and 26.9mm used

R32 GT-T M-spec BM50 25.4mm

R33 GTST BM44 23.8mm

R32 GTR non Brembo BM50 25.4mm

R34 GTT ? ?

R32/33/34 Brembo* BM57 26.9mm

* GTR N1 Skylines apparently used the BM50 MC.

also this might be interesting, someone else chasing a 3-port 1" master cylinder.. http://www.sillbeer.com/2007/04/brake-mast...er-upgrade.html

But looking here http://www.ipixel.com.au/temp/bnr32n1bmc/bmc-46010-range.gif there is whole slew of different models used.

Looking at the bmc from the drivers side the model is towards the booster right next to where it says nissan. Last digits of the part number are stamped on the very end of the unit, for example mine are 05u20, ie 1".

So the non M spec R32 GTS-T has what size master cylinder?

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
