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!

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.

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

Had the same problem with the ABS unit leaking,removed it dismantled ,acquired all the seals, then rebuilt it ,put it back on the car bleed ABS then all brakes,have'nt had a weep since. :D

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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
