Hi to all the lovely nico people.
ive bought another s13 recently which was parked up like in a shed for about 3-4yrs but started fine & ran pretty good although it had the minor niggly bits like needing new plugs, oil, filter etc but drove it home carefully.......
& the next day after starting it & reversing slightly...... my brake pedal goes solid as a rock,
the brakes were ok when driving back as they were'nt sticking or anything but earlier when reversing i could feel resistance in the n/s wheel as the brakes "grabbing" like the calipers seized or somewhat....
My beast-to-be has abs which worked fine but now whenever i brake the pedal is solid-rock - it takes a lot of pushing to make the car stop & if i brake too hard n/s tyre'll lock causing it to skid towards the left.
one things for sure my n/s calipers seized so will remove that today but...... would that cause my ABS pump to start buzzing? I mean buzzing from when i switch the key on, & when its started but it dont buzz when i switch the car off.
would i be looking at a new abs pump along with the caliper or would the cleaning or replacing the caliper/s stop the abs pump from buzzing.

The abs were'nt buzzing when i drove the car home for around 8km brakes were fine.
things checked:

Brake fluid - all there a bit muggy but am replacing today
no leaks anywhere.
booster vac pipe all good & working ok
Replaced relays off another s13 but the buzzing was still there & i kw for damn sure the other relays are good.

could it be the abs pump seizing up causing it the buzzing & the hard pedal...... like if one calipers seized the others are ok so the abs could work on the other 3 ???
but the hard pedal is a damn mystery

Right I've sorted out the calipers but the buzzing is still there.
Checked the abs module for codes & I'm getting 10 flashes which is a 10 code for the actuator solenoid.
What I can't figure is I changed the solenoid previously & the pedal was stoll hard & still buzzing

Pull the ABS fuse to see if it goes away.

Ok I've checked the fuse took it out the bussing does go away but would that be ok to drive like would it still have brake pressure

It should still have brake pressure. Just give it a try while not moving, then driveway speeds, then low speeds, etc.

You just wont have ABS anymore.

Ok sure thatll be ok really but the pedals real hard il try changing the brake fluid to see if that helps

like hard and doesn't work?
If so, that's a brake booster problem.

Yes hard and works but you gotta really press it to engage the brake

Changing the fluid didn't help

Top man p smurf. Jobs a good'n. Sorted.
