Heya!

I am about to do an R33 brake conversion and Ichiba 5-stup upgrade on all four corners of my ABS equipped Cefiro.

I would prefer to remove the whole ABS system to reduce weight, increase engine bay space and just generally tidy up excessive line etc.

What is the correct way to do this?

Or do I just leave it alone all together?

Even for track use, ABS can be very helpful, and its easy to disable (fuse).

If you must remove it, pull the globe from the dash, disconnect the loom under the rear shelf and remove the ABS computer, remove all the brake lines, ABS hub, sensors, etc.

Keep in mind the hard lines on Cefiro are Cefiro only...as they're a mix of using S13 master cylinder (which will also need to be replaced) running along an R32 firewall. Making your own solid brake lines isnt hard, if you're doing the R33 conversion you'll need to make up your own flexible brake hoses too (or dodgey modify the banjo bolt), so just do them all in one hit, but yeah, I reckon keep it...more con's than pro's if you remove it.

Do you have it?

Its seems to be a rather shitty system or mybe mine is faulty?

When i hit bumps on the road while braking the ABS has a tendency to kick in and then off again making it quite annoying. This happens when under braking and the driven wheel(s) skip off the ground when on a bumpy surface, causing a bit of slip in the diff or something and (i assume) the ABS computer reads this as high speed or hard braking braking and jumps into action when i dont want it to.

I like to be in full control of my cars functions but the ABS seems do have a bit of a mind of its own at times.

I have all the gear to do the conversion including braided lines etc.

I have also just been informed that there may be some legalities involved if i remove this. Is this the case?

If I keep the abs will it work with the hubs and calipers i have?

Or do I need ABS compatible hubs or something?

While on this toppic,

What the difference with the ABS diff? I have been told its longer but will this affect my decision to put a shimmed, 4.11:1 R33 center in it?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
