My S1 1995 has it, ABS is good, Ive never flat spotted a tyre on the track, why, ABS, why would you want to get rid of it ?????

Unless its a BALLS TO THE WALL race car

I was told there is a wire you can disconnect to disable it for motorkhanas so you can do J turns and stuff.

ALSO IF THE CAR IS REGOED IT WILL BE A MAJOR DEFECT, you are removing safety gear.

LOL! ^^

Totally agree. No reason to get rid of it unless its a serious track car. You rarely ever panic brake on the track either. And panic braking is where you need it.

But im sure in a sec there will be a whole lot of Non ABS users saying they have superior foot control and can make their cars brake to maximum limit without skidding therefore its better than ABS. But the next time a kid/car pulls/walks out infront of you @ 100KM/H and you have 0 time to think, let us know the result. hehe

I have a S2 without ABS. But then again I have superior foot control and can make my car brake to maximum limit without skidding therefore its better than ABS. Just yesterday I had a kid, or was it a car?, pull out in front of me while I was doing 100km/h. I swear I had zero time to think about it and slammed on the brakes causing the back of my car to step out a little but luckily I came to a quick stop and missed him (or her, or the hermaphrodite in the car). A good result I think.

I'm no expert, but I was always under the impression that R33 series 1 had no ABS and R33 series 2 did have ABS.

Series 1 did have ABS, very rare, I have seen it, also have seen series 1 with Airbags, they look like the S14 Series 1 airbag wheel, super UUGLYYYY

Indeed no expert. Comprehension is also not a strong suit - see the previous posts to yours.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
