Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could give me a basic idea of what is wrong with my car before I take it to the brake specialist or auto electrician... so they dont talk a whole heap of sh*t to me..

Recently, after of turn my car off, my ABS Module continues to buzz and eventually, overnight, will use all of the charge in my battery.

I have since disconnected the power to the ABS module and the car can start even after 4 days of not being turned on. (I do reconnect the power to the ABS module when I'm driving).

Prior to this my ABS light was coming on after turning the car on but will intermittently go away for a few trips then reappear.

LASTLY i think my ABS Module has sh*t itself.

So if anyone could shed some light, It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Regards

Steve

Hi Guys,

I checked my ABS unit and noticed a little black box... so is that what you were talking about Locky? I have taken the cover off and there are two white fuses (looks more two white blocks). When you shake it, there is something rattling inside the fuse that the power cable connects to so I think that that is the reason.. can you get these fuses replaced as it seems like they are glued on very very well...

Stephen, if i find out that my cylinders are OK and that I need something from your abs unit, i'll buy it off you..

Cheers guys.

Hi Guys,

After taking off the cover on the little black box, the unit doesnt buzz anymore when the power is connected, thus somehow by taking off the cover and putting it back on, the buzzing is now gone when the ignition is off.

Lastly, my ABS light is still on (was on prior to the buzzing) and I noticed that it will only stay on if i start the car with the handbrake on. If I turn the car on with the handbrake down, then their is no ABS light. So it looks like it could be a wiring or sensor issue? Anyone know where I could start looking?? thanks

Hi Guys,

Just thought i'd let you know the cause of my ABS problems...

after all tests by mechanics/autoelectricians (who couldnt tell me jack sh*t even after i told them that it could be a relay) and took my money anyway, i did what Locky said and replaced a faulty relay (the coil had broken). ABS light and problem went away and now ABS is working like a charm...

So thanks heaps LOCKY!!! and check the relay first..

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • 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.
