paulashy Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Just got back from a trip to the ring, the first time I have had the 350z on track and I found that the abs would kick in on the front right when light braking. Just had brand new discs, pads, braided lines and fluid. Any one else had this problem or know what it might be? Or is it just getting use to the abs in the 350z?

Zedologist Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 hi, planing a ring trip myself (aug) just for the turistenfarten as im near by. How did you find the Z grip? were the brake upgrades worth it? I havent had my abs cut in yet on street, and ive been doing plenty of Grune Holle practise / vry hard braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulashy Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Yeah the brake upgrade was well worth it, didnt overheat once either. The abs thing was a bit anoying but only did it when I was a bit hesitant on the brakes. This was my second time last time I went for a track day but didnt drive so first time driving the track myself. The grip was very good came from a fiesta st that had coilovers and was stripped out and have to say standard I was very surprised. Love the feel of he steering and how you have to put it in gear. My mates m135i is a cracking at but it has electic power steering and makes it so there is no feeling at all and with the paddle shift i felt it felt a little like you weren't properly involved. Will be going again next year hopefully on the 350z but looking into getting a e36 m3 and putting a cage and seats in that dunno weather that will come off though Edited July 3, 2013 by paulashy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 As regards the problem, are you sure it was only under braking? It might be the stability control kicking in, particularly if youre running non standard tyres and its only happening on one side, mine was a nightmare for it on track until I figured how to turn ABS, TCS, VDC, ABC, GDP and FFS off The ABS function shouldnt be changed by new hardware, it may be a faulty sensor or something if not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulashy Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) How do you go about turning all the systems off? Might be handy for the next track day? Edited July 3, 2013 by paulashy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Three plugs on inner wing by brake fluid reservoir, youll probs need pliers to get the middle one off If it works youll have SLIP, Handbrake and Traction lights coming on and much more fun to be had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
