Gti-r Brakes Cut Out When Car Spins Out - Help?

Hi all

I have a GTI-R that I have converted to RWD by welding up the centre diff and pulling out the front diff and shafts.

When i have managed to over cook it sticking the back end out then started spinning out, iv'e jump on the brakes, the brake pedal has gone solid and i seem to have little to no brakes at all. This has happen 4 times now and i'm a bit over it.

The car has ABS and it doesn't seem to matter if the clutch is in/ out. It seems to be more than just losing vacuum to the master cilinder but i could be wrong. Brakes and hand brake work well at all other times..

Any ideas why this is happening? if its linked to the ABS system?

Cheers.

ive had a similar problem with my old GTiR. i found that i was missing a nut on a control arm that came directly off the thottle body's. hard to explain. so heres a pic i edited of my old pulsar. hope it helps. got the problem spot circled in blue... if you look real close at it you can actually see a shiny new bolt there!

Pull the ABS fuse and retest... ABS doesn't like when you go forwards then sideways then backwards.. I have tried to hit the brakes after doing a burnout in many abs cars. Abs goes mental, pedal goes hard, car takes ages to stop.

Hooked the relay and switch up tonight so will see soon enough if it has worked.

Gtir doesnt look anything flash, attached a pic. Found an oldy but a goodie of my old evo stuck in the sand dunes too. Fun times.

Will get around to making a GTIR video at some point soon hopefully. Need a bit of practice first so i dont look like a rookie.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
