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..

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.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
