Dirty sensors on your calipers. Clean them up and see if it still does it

Like what Daniel said, that or faulty wiring...

This is allot of effort but its the only way to know for sure... Just behind the driver side panel sits the ABS Controller... Remove the panel and check the LED, it will flash some codes - compare that with the FSM and you will know for sure

In order to inspect the LED, take the car for a spin, since the warning lights might reset every time you start the car, stop but don't switch off the car and then check the LED's or have someone sit in the back and check them for you.

I think my brakes is totally fu**ed.After about 3 hard stops there is just nothin.It goes all the way to the floor AND the stoopid ABS isn't working.
Just need few grand to finally fit the Z32 calipers,already got the hubs and calipers,wating for the braided hoses then I'll take it to Jerry to make the adapter plates and fit the rotors.

adapter plates?... but you mentioned hubs and calipers. even if you didnt have hubs (i assume to change the pcd) the calipers should bolt right on.

thats front and back - they just bolt on - its the discs and pads that are more difficult than anything else. vlade even showed us how to use the stock brake lines!

I don't want stock discs,I want huge discs.Jerry from importparts knows a guy that makes adapter plates that move the calipers outwards to increase the brake force applied to the discs and also let you fit way bigger discs than standard.Since the Z32 came out with 15" rims and I'm going to fit 18"rims,the rotors is going to look WAY small any ways.

i like it!!!

really massive brakes always make the car look savage!!! and with your other mods it will be very lekka.

let me know when you come right because i also have a set of calipers like yours - but i wasnt too happy about putting stock sized rotors on!!!
