R32 GTR Fuse Bypass

[BNR]

Hey

We just hooked a switch up to my r34 gtr to bypass the fuse but when we turn the 4WD off the ABS also turns off.

Is this normal ??

Thanks

I don't know about the 34, but in the 32 the abs only shuts off if you do the ignition on/off whilst rolling trick. if you pull the fuse whilst the car is standing still/switched off the ABS will still work.

are you flicking the switch with the engine running and car moving?

yep we did the switch while the car was rolling and the ABS turns off also. We took the fuse out before we made the switch with the engine turned off and the ABS turned off so i think regardless if the motor is on or off the ABS turns off.

ok, fair enough. from my experience in the 32GTR the only time the abs went off was if i switched whilst rolling.

anymore info on how you rigged up the switch?

why dont you get a proper switching unit?

for a car like the r34 gtr, i dont think youd wanna be playing around with swithces and stuff.

Sorry i dident notice, ive got a R32 GTR !!!

All we did was cut the wires behind the fuse. Put a switch between it (Fog light switch) and wired it up.

Any ideas on the ABS light ?

Yeah, buy a proper controller

How much is the unit for a R32 ?

And wats the difference in that and a $2 switch ?

[Duncan]

Ahh well details of the ones I can get are here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=69301

But the difference to a $2 switch is huge....you can turn it off like a switch, but you can also dial in more front when you need it eg if you are trying to go fast in the wet.

If you want to drive a GTR around in RWD all the time buy a GTST and drop an rb26 in it

Can anyone else tell me when they just wired a switch did the ABS turn off to ?

yes the abs light will come up on the dash when you flick the switch because the abs and 4WD use the same sensors so your abs wont work when in fulltime 2WD mode

[Beer Baron]

dunno about that mate. I have pulled my fuse on the GTR and the ABS light does not come on. on the other hand if I do the 'switch to RWD whilst car is rolling' trick both the 4WD and ABS lights DO come on.
