Photo's of my poor baby after going sideways through a roundabout. Didnt see it, no give ways signs or roundabout signs, a lamppost was out one was lit but it wasnt enough. Locked up the brakes the car went sideways as I tried to steer around the rounabout, blew the drivers side rear tyre and then beached itself on the far corner in some sand between the kerb and the footpath. It seems I was quite lucky, the sideskirt is beyond repair I think, and I had to put some new rubber on (so I went ahead and put the 2 18" rims I had on the rear) though it seems I need a wheel allignment as anything over 100km/hr and the wheel vibrates.

Scarey. I wouldnt want to be driving on it too much, cant do more than 80km/hr and even then I was only doing 70km/hr just to make sure I got home ok. Seriously its about 1/4 the width of the new 265/35 rubber.

      Apologies, wrong use of terminology. Yes, trigger the ABS unit / solenoids to allow the air pockets to advance. The Nissan unit, found in the R32~R34 and S14/15 seem very basic compared to other vehicles.

      Are we not talking about triggering the various solenoids in it though? We're not talking about a "pump". There's no pump, right? The pressure comes from the MC. The ABS unit just opens and closes valves. 4 of them.

      here's a wild thought, could we not just directly power the pump itself? It looks like the relays up top, just feed two wires to the ABS pump. Being a 90s Nissan shit box, I can't imagine it being anymore sophisticated

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...
