I noticed tonight a red light flashed up on my dash and was just wondering what it was,

I didn't have time to look to see what it was, it just flashed once as I was hard under brakes in the wet

and the only thing I could think of was that it might be a light for abs the red light flashed up over

on the right side near where the oil and battery light is,

but mine is only a series 1.5 If thats what you call them its a late 95 model so has series 2 spoiler and such,

I didn't think these had abs can anyone tell me if series 1.5 had abs? how can you tell

Iv'e had my car all locked up before when braking so don't know? if its not abs light what else could it be?

any ideas?

In answer to topic title, if you have ABS, the car won't like up like made under hard braking, and the pedal will pulsate under hard braking.

You can also check the lines running from your brake master cylinder and trace where they run, if they run into another unit before going to the calipers you have ABS. If they run straight to the calipers from the BMC, you do not have ABS. OR easier still, if you have two lines coming out of your BMC you have ABS, if you have three lines you do not have ABS.

i had an R33 for about 2 months (loaner) and a light flashed on every time i braked hard. turns out it was the oil pressure dropping........

but check oil level, brake fluid level and probably PS fluid level. its probably moving and the sensor thinks its too low as it all gets pushed to the front

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
