Hi all,

So ive deleted the abs off my r33 gtr whilst still using the factory brembos with hfm bm57 brake master cylinder (apparently little better than factory), The brakes before the abs delete were fine and were pulling up well but after deleting abs with nothing else adjusted the pedal got soft and doesn't pull up as good, with first roughly 50% depressing the brake pedal theres no braking what so ever and when brakes do start the pull up its very weak.

so far what ive done:

- new discs and pads

- brake bleed (several times)

- brand new slave cylinder

- braided lines

only thing i can think of i can do is adjust brake pedal rod from the booster.

has anyone had this sort of problem? and im i missing something?

also best way to adjust brake pedal cant seem to find the right info anywhere.

sorry if i worded my problem poorly.

Also can tap the 2nd port for the fronts and it works fine as I have done it a few times.

Have tried using a HFM one in the past and could never get it working like a genuine Master Cylinder 2 brake shops had a go with adjusting rods and the pedal.

Have you looked into your brake booster? The unit is a diaphragm and could have a pin hole in it that could cause headaches. 

Just chiming in on my experience with my 32, I was chasing a similar problem for months. Car has Ferrari f40 Brembo's. Bled countless times, Bench bled the BMC, Replaced BMC twice finally using the  hfm bmf57 as well. Adjusted the pedal. Nothing. was borderline dangerous how spongy it was. 

Check the vacuum lines on the booster.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
