Abs Issues Survey!

[Brezza]

Hey people,

I am currently having ABS issues with the unit leaking my brake fluid, I am running this poll just to see how many of you out there are suffering from the same issues and how bad they are?

I've also added in responses where people can post whether they've fixed the problem by replacing with new, used or removal.

I would like to know what people have done to try and fix the problem so post up what you've done and also post up if you're running brake upgrades like bigger rotors/callipers, master cylinder stoppers, braided lines etc.

cheers!

do you still drive your's as a street car? or is it purely a track car?

any issues with the defects?

or any braking issues? locking up?

nope it is great

no loocking up (unless your a shitty driver lol )

No defects all positive - street car

so no unwanted attention to the area where the unit should be?

just to clarify, the brakes will only really lock up if you hit them hard and very fast?

i've only locked brakes in other car's when i was a P-plater right before i hit something, haha! so i guess it was just bad driving,

first : a little bit of screaching around a corner so i slammed the brakes and locked them and spun out.

other times i hit the brakes hard, obviously wet weather doesnt help either or bad/bald tyres

Original unit leaked badly, got another very clean looking one and it leaks a bit. IMO ABS is a good thing. On the street you will encounter different conditions - its not all about driver skill.

keep an eye on your fluid if you decide to keep it

Mine was fine for a year i have had the car then all of a sudden it started leaking and i have to top it up very regulary. Recently purchased 2 very good second hand units so will replace it with one and keep the other as a spare. I priced a new unit from nissan and it was around the $2700 mark

Where did you get the seals from? Are they just generic o-rings or the real custom seals?

I have now removed my ABS, the pedal feel is much better and I'm more confident when braking

I also went for a few upgrades when I removed my ABS, I installed some R34 GTR Brembo brakes with some QFM A1RM's all round, a Brake Master Cylinder Brace and Custom Braided Lines.

The GTR pulls up really well, I have only slightly locked one wheel while driving and it was due to the bumpy road, but overall having no ABS isnt really that much to worry about, it just takes some getting used to and knowledge of what to do when the brakes lock and to know where the threshold is.

Will post up pics of the new lines and brake system after the weekend.
