My R33 series 2

ABS motor died so want to just leave it disabled

Thinking of fitting slotted rotors to the front.

I heard that the brake piping bias is 90% to the front on ABS cars

but should be 70% if change to ABS.

Is this right, will I need to change the front to rear bias?

Need some advice.

.

How do you intend to adjust the brake bias?By buying an adjustable brake bias controller?Call a brake specialist to answer your brake bias question.

Exactly what is wrong with the abs box is it a blockage??Why dont you get it checked out and see if it can be fixed.It's worth a try.Or get a new 1.Or 2nd hand 1 etc...

I did some reading up and as u have confirmed the brakes will still function normally just without the abs.A warning light should also come on your dash telling u that your abs has sh*t itself.

I know nothing about abs brakes.

well you haven't even said whether it's an ATTESSA 4WD or 2WD Skyline, that would help..

The discs shouldn't be any different to any other discs.. take off the old ones, and put on the new. The ABS is a separate issue..

Its a 2wd gtst, thanks.

First thing I did was find out from Nissan using their consult device that the reading given is "motor off". Nissan told me to replace it.

The adjustable brake bias controller sounds interesting.

Replacing it - All up to replace it the labour cost is high and I've never experienced the ABS working properly as it was on its way out from the day I bought my car, the on off pulse was so slow, so I'm not sure if its worth fixing.

Does anyone with ABS think it works well in the skyline?

How is the vibration, does it pulse fast enough when it is working properly. For example how much slower vibration to volvo for comparisson.

If the R33 gtst ABS is any good then I guess I'd like to know who can replace my ABS motor unit and charge me less please. I'll supply the brake fluid.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
