If you can do this cost effective with your effort and parts you could make some good money.

Nobody who has a leaky ABS wants to buy 2nd hand and new the price is out of this world.

Some even remove ABS all together after getting a leak.

It seems that in my case it was working, it just had some leaks. Tomorrow I should have it all back together if I get the rest of the orings. Not all the orings could be replaced at this stage.

If I can get hold of some 9mm ID x 1.5 EPDM and some 008Q EPDM quad rings that will only leave 1 part which will have to be ever so slightly modified to accept an off the shelf round oring.


Unfortunately trying to fix these units can be like chasing your tail; most of our customers have ended up removing the ABS all together. If you'd like a quote on the components require (new master, lines, brackets...) drop me a line.

Cheers,

im just wondering why do you need o rings for? the brake lines do you need to cut or it can be bend to make it fit?

Oo la la! nearly done. Oring shop forgot one oring and 2 others are not fitting well.

I am rebuilding my R32 GTR ABS unit. The orings are so old they are no longer round and no longer sealing properly.

If your talking about the R34 GTR ABS unit then you need to make new lines. Google up some pics of R32 and R34 GTR engine bays and you will be able to spot the differences.

now only to figure out the proper wiring >_<

The rebuilt ABS unit is back in and (partially) bled. Took it for a spin around the block and will check for leaks tomorrow.

To bleed it properly the ABS unit needs to be operated while it's being bled with pressure. When you start the car it runs the ABS motor, but I'm not sure if its actuating the solenoids.I have a feeling these were pre-bled at the factory then installed.

Next step is to monitor the ABS with an oscilloscope so I can make a bleeding tool. Then I can bench test whole unit :)

Touche :)

I went through every o-ring that was needed, measured the grooves they sit in and used an o-ring calculator to calculate what o-rings would give the optimum squish then measured all of the new o-rings once they were in their respective grooves to ensure that they were what I calculated. Any o-ring I put in has squeeze within a certain range so that the o-ring will seal and not tear from over compression.

Something I cam across while fiddling with the ABS was that some ABS pumps, probably later ones, had a different design of check valve that aren't prone to leaking. The ones that leak easily are a poor design. I have one which I will pull apart to see if they did anything different internally.

Edited by dontfeelcold

have you tested if the abs kick in and there is no air in the lines?

Yes, in a safe place, but I already bled the entire ABS unit, so there is no air whatsoever in it.

ABS is not leaking and I managed to fully bleed it. Had to power up the abs motor and the solenoids and then you can bleed it properly.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
