sorry i didn't read this post earlier, could have offered a few suggestions,had the same problems with my gtr when it arrived with no abs gear, ABS light on, 4WD light on. Thought they must be related cause i had read if you remove 4wd fuse also loose ABS. But after some stuffing around, the cause of 4wd light was faulty regulator on alternator supplying fluctuating current to TPS.

Removing ABS has no affect on 4wd, my system was simply unplugged and replaced with gtst master cylinder and piping.

so off topic a little bit, ive put a rb26/ gtr 5speed in my stagea, replacing the original rb25det/auto 4wd setup.

im running an Autronics smc ecu, and im wondering what do i connect the 3 wires from the original ecu to the ETS ecu to on my autronics smc?

i got someone to wire it up who thought they had a clue, turns out they did bugger all and the 4wd light and abs is staying on constantly.

its abit hard to work out if its engaging 4wd, or staying in 4wd constantly, or whatever without a torque split gauge. though it seems to get decent traction with over 350rwhp, but it sorta feels like its trying 4wd constantly, like when u back off the power it pulls ya forward in the seat like a 4wd hilux when in low range 4wd.

so whats the associated connectings to be checking, changing to make it same as factory (except running the autronics ecu instead)?

lastly what pin/colour wire do i connect a torque split gauge to, to be able to check it is operating correctly?

any info on the connections to ecu and the like would be most appreciated, as it seems u guys have a good understanding of the whole setup, and when i started a thread a few months ago knowone had a clue at all.

cheers

Guys, i know its been a while since this thread has been in discussion. I've got an R33 GTR. ABS seems to not be working, i was told the module is somewhere in the boot near the battery. Anyone got a photo/diagram as to the exact location of the module/plug i need to check out?

Hi guys sorry to dig up an old thread but I have exact same issue, error code 8 after removing ABS and no 4wd.

Nothing will fix it, I have bleed the atessa that's all good, 4wd pump is ok, tank has plenty of fluid.

Only time I can get the 4wd light to turn off is when the car is stopped and I disconnect the bleed connector, then the torque guage shows 10. Soon as I re-connect the bleed connecter 4wd light re appears.

love some help its cooking my brain

FYI, car runs Haltech elite

Sorry for the thread revival but did anyone have a definitive answer to this code 8 with ABS pump deleted but wheel speed sensors still in place, issue please?

I'm currently working on the same above issue, the car has the ABS pump removed and is running a Full Race ETS-Pro 4WD controller so not your average factory specc'd car, so there may be some conflicts? I have noted that when the ignition is in the Acc position, (lights on dash but engine not started) the 4wd light comes on but only faintly, as soon as i use the toggle switch from 4wd to 2wd with the full race controller the light goes out and back on when you switch back to 4wd. Unfortunately when the engine is then started the 4wd comes on regardless of the 4wd/2wd switch position and the ECTS displays just code 8?

This wouldn't be an issue if the 4wd light wasn't illuminating but the fact it is suggests a slightly different issue to "just" it being the ABS pump being removed.

Cheers in advance for any help.

    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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.
