Default 2003 touring Abs issue... HELP



So my 03 350z is having an abs issue.

When I am driving and apply the brakes(the correct way to spell it) the Abs pulses(can hear it the pump pulsing) and at slower speeds will even cause the car to pull hard left. It will then after awhile stop, then kick on the slip light the eventually light my dash up like an f'ing Christmas tree.... Can shut the car off and turn it back on once hot and issue and lights go away. The issue happens every time I drive it but intermittently while I drive the car.

Things to note...
1. Brand new pads and rotors (warped rotors not an issue)
2. Brake fluid level is correct
​3. 19" bmw type 95 installed with adapters properly torqued 225/40zr19 up front 245/40zr19 in the rear, all 4 tires new with nissan tpms installed.

My thoughts are I have a bad wheel speed sensor and when I hit the brakes one speed sensor reads high or not at all and engages the abs.

I will be having the codes run tomorrow but wanted to see what you guys thought too.

Run the ABS codes first and you should have some answers.

Obviously reading codes is first if possible. Second thought, sensor on the way out or the bank angle sensor is off.

Did the problem start when you put the wheels on?

Problem started 2500 miles after the wheel install.

I ran the codes and had three pop up...
1. Yaw sensor
2. Abnormal abs sensor
3. Steering angle sensor

First, where did you get that overblown estimate from? Second, it's impossible to accurately diagnose your car from behind a keyboard. A good Nissan tech will read the codes and have a diagnostic tree to work from with a CONSULT III to back him/her up.

First- parts quotes was from Nissan for the two sensors ($2400 Is me do8ng labor)

Second- A good Nissan Tech could possible have seen the codes before and remembered if the yaw sensor code or the steering angle sensor code will be the first focus in the tree.

Third- I am not asking for my car to be diagnosed from a behind a keyboard, I asked for thoughts and experience before spending an A-load or if even though a am more than your average weekend warrior garage mechanic would it just be better to take it to a shop as ABS can be a significant challenge especially with Nissans.

Hopefully, your wrenching skills are better than your spelling and proofreading sentences. What I'm suggesting is you have an experienced Nissan tech handle this ABS problem with the right tools. Most than likely, it'll save you in time, parts and money.

My dyslexia is a *****. So excuse my lack of proof reading 87 times to make it perfect for someone trying to be the most witty behind a keyboard and gain an ego erection from said act. If you wish to be a dick that's fine, but I'd expect more from the moderator as it is your example to which we are suppose to follow of the forums...

I appreciate your thought on the matter of correcting my car as that was infact the way I was leaning but wanted to be sure there wasnt something simple I was over looking. Thank you
