You could relocate it into a towed trailer as long as you know what you're doing.

But the real question is why?

You can move it but its not a simple thing to do. You would need to go to a brake place and get them to re-run the hard lines from the ABS to the brakes. You would also need to modify/extend the electrical connections to it too.

If it's weight you're after go the battery definately.

As for placing a breather in the ABS position, Nismo make a kit that is compatible with the 32R (pt# 11830-RSR25)...naturally it's way exe. You could get someone to fab the can and build it yourself for next to nothing

i want to put my catch can there but i want to keep the abs cause if i pass an inspection i will be illegal an i dont want to reput my abs just for that plus its make the engine bay much more cleaner

R32GTR's were available without ABS, in fact none of the N1 (race) versions had ABS. So no ABS is not a rego issue, they don't have to have it.

Cheers

2 of the race cars down in tassie have the abs pump in the rear passenger footwell (behind where the passenger seat is). one is a gts-t and one is a 200sxr. I only have spoken to one, and he said the braked performed just how they should do.

i already know about r32gtr n1 with no abs and its have a very nice look under the hood and i dont know what are your rule in australia but im in quebec,canada and we dont have the right to uninstall any safety device like if you have a 6 point harness you have to keep your oem belt to be legal its f**king shit but its that.. samething for abs also, i want to know if i extend the electrical harness of abs if it can alter the signal because if you put an extra lenght of wire it create some resistance so the voltage of the signal is not the same??? i hear a guy that have relocate its fusebox an some bug appear... he put back a new harness and no problem so is it that?? im ok with the line but its the electrical side that im not sure with... loool sorry for my english im a f**king frenchmen like they say lool

thanks!

Well you would be making the harness shorter as the abs ecu is in the boot, so that shouldn't be a problem. You could even keep it the same lenth, and just wind the excess up in the boot if your that worried about it.

How do they know your particular car came with ABS?

do you enjoy wasting money,

you can move it but its a waste of time spend 600 bucks on a coustom catch can with gold plated rivets and you will still have change compared to moving the abs.

there are plenty of places for catch cans in the engin bay .

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
