hi guys!

recently, my 1996 R33 Series 2 started having some issues with the abs breaks.... when my engine is on, the dash shows the "abs" light... which i'm assuming, means something wrong. have any of you guys experienced this? or now what this means?

i'm totally lost when it comes to abs brakes. thanks alot guys, appreciate any help and advice. :P

sure power steer and brake fluid use the brake warning light, atessa fluid too in a gtr :)

Is your ABS actually working? drive along an empty road and hit the brakes hard....do they lock up or pulse?

they shouldn't be locking up........ABS should make it pulse to stop the car skidding to enable a shorter stopping distance with more grip.

ah serious? then it must mean my abs brakes have failed... is there any place you guys can recommend me to get it fixed? since, i'm a noob at abs...

a local abs specialist should be able to check/fix it I would have thought

its probably a fairly stocker abs system, like the aussie spec nissan cars with abs

try www.autobrakeservice.com.au which is ABS

id be highly suprised if they cant check/fix it

thanks for the advice! I gave them a call today, and seems like they can't fix my car. They told me to go to my Nissan dealership to get the car scanned :kick: to see what the specific problem is. do you guys know what they are talking about? all I know is that I have to brake harder for my car to stop because it by passes the abs system. any help would be so much appreciated :)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
