ABS repair options 90' 240sx SE?

[jerryk]

I just purchased my second 90-240sx se fastback stick with 175k on it. My other 90 240sx with 210k is suffering from severe rust underneath and will be the parts car. Both cars have identical features except for one. The replacement car has ABS that is leaking from the unit, near the passenger side firewall under the hood, but otherwise seems to be working. I saw a complete rebuilt replacement for $600.00+ but I do not think that is necessary it just looks like a seal problem. There are no trouble lights on the dash. Where exactly do I find the diagnostic unit to view trouble codes I printed out the list of the codes. How do I go about fixing the leak? Are there any other Nissan year models and make that I can use? In addition, I purchased an aftermarket VLSD Kit will it fit and work into the ABS car's pumpkin?

I would say forget about the abs altogether. Probably not worth the hassle and the money to fix. Its nice too have in certain situations, but people tend to rely on it too much and forget how to drive correctly.

What is an aftermarket vlsd kit? Sounds like something that goes in the pumpkin,.......... wether your diff was for an ABS car and your using it on a non abs car, doesnt matter too much. Nothing a few spacers cant fix.

I am starting to think you are correct and plan to rip out the ABS. I understand the rotors and calipers are larger on the ABS car. I would like to keep them. What brake components do I need to transfer over from the non-ABS car and which ones need to stay on the ABS car i.e. Brake master cylinder
