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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
