Hey, that's got a green ABS disconnect button just like my N-GT !

 

[rs phil]

so thats what its for..my abs dont come any more since i got corner weight and geo done

 

[ChrisW]

It also disconnects the speedo input ---

Press the button and there should be six or seven beeps and the abs warning light comes on --- pull it back out, and all is back to normal.

Interesting, my N/GT doesnt have one of those, were they standard fittement on cars then? I dont recal seeing these on photos of other N/GTs either?

 

[rs phil]

No, I thought it was just my car, which is why I was so excited !

My first owner was Ulrich Richter who was a Nurburgring devotee and Porsche racing driver, --- Hacki and I speculated that this is why it may have been specified.

It doesn't look after-market but ?

Chris,

Walter, who you met at Spa, told me that he knows another car with such a switch, so it may have been aftermarket or a Porsche special offer - I don´t know. (I tend to Porsche original.) The ABS those days was a problem on bumpy circuits like the Nordschleife- that´s from my point of view the reason for this switch. Some drivers may have felt better without ABS.

The automatic switch of the 90 Cup car (you took pics) was meant to be used in case of problems only, e. g. a spinning car. So with maximum power on the brake pedal the driver could cut off the ABS and lock the wheels. So it´s something different.

We have to check some on board camera stuff - maybe ABS or non ABS was an option for the driver. In my car there´s something in the switch place on the dash board when it was a factory race car- never paid too much attention. I thought. it could be a big oil pressure warning light or something.

It may have been a Nordschleife option only also.

Some anorak work - where are you anoraks out there?[]

when i had my m3 e30 sport evo, i read that johnny cocetto would lap the ring grand prix circuit 3 second quicker with abs

i would presume different drivers would be faster without it...i have to say prior to mine being set up i was going to disconnect mine as it was coming on too early due to wheels locking with incorrect geo..seems good for now.

would make sense to have that switch i think

Chris, what year is your car? its not a change in year thing is it? Mine is 93, I notice that the cup listed above is a 1991. Is this something that changed over the years? I can see why a switch might be useful.

 

[ChrisW]

November 1991 --- it was maybe the first car sold ---

 

[h_____]

I wonder if it is factory and they subsequently changed it then? Esp if its been seen on cup cars of a similar age.

 

[rs phil]

just spotted that button in this vid on youtube,same as yours chris?

[ChrisW]

[ChrisW]

Thanks Hacki, --- please remind me to Walter []

Thanks Hacki, --- please remind me to Walter []

I will!

Just studied on board pics 1990 Norisring Carrera Cup- Rüdiger Schmitt´s car. The button is visible, different colour though. It´s red. I couldn´t see, if it has the Bosch label. I need to ask someone of the good old days, when a weekend in a potential winning Cup car cost 7,000 Deutsche Mark. I think, today it´s like 25,000 EURO.

Chris,

I just talked to a team owner who ran these cars in 1990 and 1991 Carrera Cup. That switch in the dashboard is the ABS on/off button, additonal to the switch on the master cylinder (s. above).

It was not an option for RSs, he says (he knows his stuff, he has forgotten more about Porsches than a dozen other experts will ever know). So, the button in your car probably is a "Uli Richter special option". As you know, he was a well known racer.

Hope that helps,

Hacki
