Sorry 26GTS,

When I said control and feel I was suggesting unusual conditions. I.e gravel.

You are correct that it does take a lot to lock the brakes, but when you slam the brakes on they are very easy to lock. :cheers:

Only yesterday I had a loony P plater pull out in front of me that was so close I could see her earings. I locked the brakes instantly as I attempted to swerve, after what was probably around 1/4 of a second I unlocked the brakes and turned to avoid her.

In the VS with ABS the close call would have been much less of a close call due to being able to instantly turn without the front wheels locking for that fraction of a second.

It would be good to compare the reaction time of ABS vs the human brain of 200ms and work out the distance.

I would think the ABS will react quicker to a lock than the human brain.

EDIT: On Topic. :)

You will need to change the Diff?, or is it only the driveshafts?

Joel,

couldnt not agree more especially about the brakes not being that hard to lock when you(have to) slam on them.

Also you raised a point i had been considering mentioning but thought it might go over to many heads, that is with abs the point is not only to stop in a shorter distance but also to allow you to steer around the object you are braking for....

BTW i get you about the gravel :)

ON TOPIC:

Joel: Why would u need to change diff/driveshafts?

Those contemplating the installation: Sell the car and buy one with the abs, if u hate that answer heres my real 2 cents worth.

Theres alot to change over, including the front hubs/sensors etc. Even if you machined your original ones to take the sensors theres a round thing inside the hub that the sensor reads that is obviously not in the non abs ones.

Add that onto the cost of buying all the other parts and the labour and id say your would be better stripping anything off your car you want to keep and sell it/buy one with abs. save some $$$ not to mention time and an installation that may not be as good as factory. What i really mean is that u dont want to go to the trouble of doing all this then have the abs system not work properly/give errors. Where woudl u start lookg for problems then..... :headspin: :headspin:

Change diff/driveshafts.

ABS rear sensors. Are they located on the outer of the diff with the Nissans.

Generally I've seen the ABS sensors located on each side of the diff.

A gear looking thing that is located inbetween the diff housing and the driveshaft.

The setup I saw used an optical sensor of some sort that watches the gear's lugs go round and round. :)

Hard to explain, hopefully you get what I am trying to describe.

Gotcha joel, thought thats what you were gettting at but i was assuming the back would be the same as the front, ie. sensor goes into hub. I will look in the next week when i have my car up on one of my two hoists :)

will take some pics if anyone is interested....

See ya, 26GTS :)

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
