Ive been having a bit of trouble with my ABS since swapping to an R33 diff and making up a mount for the 32 ABS sensor.

I was working fine before the swap but now i find the brake pedal is unusually firm and really standing on it will give concerningly low stopping power. Then after about 5 minutes the ABS light comes on, stopping power returns to normal, just there is no ABS.

This only happens at motorway speeds, at 50k's everything works as it should

There is just under 1mm gap form the sensor tip to the ABS ring

I must be missing something

Help anyone??

I'm not sure about this at all - but are the number of teeth on the R33 diff different to the R32's ? That would cause the computer to think the rear wheels were turning at a speed than the front wheels

Or even a different material could cause it too (ie capacitive vs hall effect sensor) Just spit balling, but if the R32 ones were alloy and the R33 teeth were steel, then that would be an issue, you would have to change the sensors over too. (doubt they would be compatible though)

Thats a point, but i used the driveshaft flange off the old R32 diff so same ring.

It uses the original sensor aswell, so the only change i can see is position of the sensor/distance from ABS ring.

R33 abs diffs are completely different as they have sensors either side of the diff on the output shafts.

Diff ratio change might actually be the problem.........front ABS rings are still going around at the same speed they used to.....but now the rear one is going around slower. That might be enough to freak the ABS computer right out.

You might have to look into putting an R33 ABS system into it!!! eeek.

Why? If you know you're going to have wheel lock, then you are prepared to modulate the pedal, no? ABS is intended for those crash stop moments on the road with drivers who don't know what they're doing at the best of times, let alone when they are surprised. If you're driving a car on the race track, you are at the opposite end of the spectrum from where ABS is intended to be used.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
