may have ABS issues and a possible hand/park brake relocation.

Literally bought evo 8 brembos 2 days ago to do the conversion using alpha omega adaptors, lines, bigger BMC etc

What abs issues can there be if I do this upgrade?

I'm assuming you're only upgrading the front?

If so, no issues.

When you bleed the brakes make sure part of your process involves going around the block and activating ABS then rebleeding again.

I find pulling up the handbrake abruptly, then slamming the brakes is enough to trigger the ABS at low/safe speeds as there's enough of a wheel speed indifference from front and rear.

I'm sure there's an easier way of cycling the pump but there's not much info on it.

I actually bought a full set haha so goinh fronts and back :/ will there be an issue, really don't want to get rid of ABS 

Do what I do, which is bleed the brakes awesomely then go to the track and hit ABS a couple of times and enjoy the rest of the day with a spongey yet ....mostly effective pedal.

:/

Changing your front and rear brakes is not going to cause you ABS problems

What might is if you have air in the lines, because if that air makes it into the tiny sections of the ABS module it is hard to bleed out again. There are 2 bleeders on the ABS unit that you should always bleed (last) when you do the brakes

Did you do the evo brembo conversion? 

No, I am just lamenting that I do not know the way of bleeding a R34 GTT ABS system. So I... don't, and find out about it when I activate ABS 😛

As has been said its mainly bleeding correctly. Bleed lines to caliper, Bleed at master (ensure you bench bleed before fitting)(may require another bleed at caliper) then bleed at the ABS unit. Go for a drive and rebleed calipers and ABS module. Won't have any problems if done right

Are there bleeders on the R33/R34 ABS units? I thought it was just the R32 but maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

BTW.... for an update, I went with the following:

Project Mu 4 piston calipers and 350mm rotors up front

370z Akebono calipers and 350mm rotors rear

Project mu calipers ? Nice but gg talk about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Have you tried looking for evo brembos? You'd be surprised, I found front and Rears evo 8 brembos for 1.5k, 

Need to consider adaptors, lines, rotors pads etc 

I guess if $ isn't a problem project mu is good but be prepared to pay over 3.2k for fronts only

Hey mate, yeah Evo Brembos were probably the main option I was considering. But my mate is selling his S15 and selling me his front Project Mu brakes (so not too expensive). Went with the Akebono rear as I can get everything except adaptors used for a good price.

R35 GTR brakes with carbon ceramic rotors look the best for sure. 

R35 brakes for sure, that’s what I went for, for functional and looks, got my set with new oem rotors and dixel pads. 380mm rear and 390mm fronts, just me mindful it will limit your wheel options

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
