Sorry about bumping old thread.

I just yanked out my ABS and installed Chase Bays lines.

Does anyone interested in ABS conversion kit???

K_style · 01-31-2013, 05:42 PM

Does anyone tracks (non drifting) their car with no ABS?

Syncade · 02-09-2013, 12:05 PM

ABS is amazing, but sadly the 240sx's ABS isn't that good.

And to people who say ABS isn't good for daily driving: You must be fucking idiots, or you live somewhere where its so flat that you know nothing about driving in dynamic terrain.

I wouldn't say "super" but yes it isn't common.

But not every situation is different. So your attempt is failed..

Well I like ABS cause my C4 corvette stopped extremely fast for it year, my 2003 350z has abs but it still cant stop for shit. So ABS or not I think it just depends on your setup.

If just DDing, it doesn't matter much since Nissan ABS is horrid. I want to do the S2k ABS retrofit that some FD folk are/were attempting.

I agree nissan has junk ABS, my friend has it removed from his R33 and his son has it removed from his s14. both claim it was horrible and kept the car from slowing down faster.

Didnt want to bump old thread, but jsut purchased an S14 with ABS, considering Ive had 2 others without found it interesting what people prefer.. This is a DD so ABS was appealing but not a selling point..

bumping this thread couldn't really hurt since it would allow more people to see it and vote. I have a S14 project and i plan on removing the ABS so was curious what others thought.
My last car and all the vehicles I have driven have had it and it was extremely useful in winter.

This car will be a good weather weekend warrior and track toy so ABS isn't needed.

I see majority of people do not want ABS on their 240sx.

I don't regret yanking mine out for sure.

drftngs14 · 05-17-2013, 07:56 AM

Im glad Im keeping the ABS, I totalled a previous S14 where ABS could have helped.. Now that Im selling my DD Jeep, this is primary ride so its definitely a bonus
