Hi,

I've had an ABS problem with my car (the actual fault is that the rear brake solenoid is faulty) however i have asked several mechanics if they could fix and three (including a brake specialist) have said that i would have to take it to Nissan to fix... so the question is??

Do you guys think nissan would be able to resolve this problem as the r32 onward skylines are imports?? or do you think import mechanics can resolve this (hopefully someone who works on imports can help out here).

I've already called my local nissan and they said they can not give a guarantee.

So if anyone can help, it would be great. thanks

Steve

by rear brake solenoid do you mean wheel speed sensor

the only component in the ABS system that has solenoids in it, is the ABS unit itself

if its a wheel speed sensor then its easy and anyone can fix it

if its the ABS unit you will need to replace the whole thing and take it to nissan were if they have the right equipment, they will need to perform the bleeding procedure using the diagnostic computor

its all pretty easy i dont know why they are making it sound so hard

Hi,

The scantool computer that was used to connect to the ECU displayed rear brake solenoid faulty on the LCD and we could not clear this code. So, i dont know if it means rear speed sensor or not..

thanks drft33, i appreciate your help.

Hi,

I've taken my car to an auto electrician and all sensor give back data but the pump relay and motor work intermittently. I've noticed that one of my relays has a rattle so i would say that the coil inside has broken and thus this relay needs replacing. i've find a site that sells this exact relay (in australia as well) which is good, but would it be as simple as an auto electrician de-soldering the old one and re-soldering the new one on?

I've also asked nissan if they sold this relay only and they said NO. you have to buy the who ABS unit which is ..... wait .... $3750 ex GST from Japan....

so hope this helps.. will keep this post updated so that it can be a referenced later on (if it helps)

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
