Braking problem - malfunctioning ABS

bullitt5897

Ok, so Semtex, StormCrow and Myself met up yesterday to do some braking tests and see what the stock 370z could do 60-0 and what a BBK 370z could do...

Well fully stock the 370z stops 60-0 in approximately 64 feet with no problems except brake fade after 3 stops. The third stop was about 68 feet.

so what does this tell us... Something we all already know the Magazines are full of $hit...

Now to the problem... The BBK 370z would redoubtably lock up the brakes faster and begin to slow faster than the stock Z then BAM "ice mode" would kick in and send the car an extra 40+ feet before allowing the brakes to reactivate. We tried several different processes to eliminate the problem but to no avail. We even disconnected the ABS harness and tried a test run at about 40mph and lets just say its was smokey!!! then we went for the 60-0 and with no speedo it was hard to gauge speed. At this point I decided not to lock the brakes but to progressively brake and it still locked the brakes to the point I said F' it and let off. I now have two flat spots on my right rear tire...

so all in all you need the ABS as you will lose your speedo and the intelligent key starts acting funny and will not turn off the car! It literally took me like a full minute of pressing the off button to get the car to shut down.

Now the question is... is there a way to dial back the abs? Giving us a larger margin for wheel speed deceleration?

but its gets even more weird... I took the car to a different road surface and the car did just fine...
