Yep...and the best part? The insurance company still thinks it's ABS. :cheers:

My Poopra has ABS right now, but it's comin off too.

[Andy C]

Older ABS systems suck, and usually cause more accidents then they prevent.

yeah i know the 240 abs system isnt that good... but its not like i could resonably do the swap anyways.
i just wished i had abs in a couple situations that i got myself in

haha its sooo much stuff... new differential, new hubs, new brake lines... ><

[S14Tech]

Well mines a 96 w/ abs, that fuse idea sounds nice. But what exactly is the point in removing them? (my main reason would have been to clear the engine bay a lil bit) i'm not gonna really drift, just some autox, so am i wrong in believing that it would get me better traction during my braking if i leave it in?

and i have to get a new diff?? whaaat?? new hubs??

no no no

your diff is lsd already youre fine.
but you need to delete your abs if you auto-x cuz youre gonna get tire slip. and its gonna slip more.
abs works when you lock the brakes down.
it stops faster than a full out slide stops.
useless if you know how to brake though.
however, its good in rain imo...
i fear locking up in the rain... its so hard to grab traction really quickly after it locks on you in the wet.... thats why i want abs on my daily

[MOOREOFSTEPHEN]

REMOVE IT!

:)

[badass240]

but i dont cuz i have a base model.

yeah me too, i've never owned a car with ABS, so yeah delete them bitches lol.

you haven't driven an e30 :-P
bmw/bosch did that right. :-)

[JJ Alfano]

my hicas 240 has ABS and i love it, especially in the rain like viperbite said.

[S14Addiction]

personally, for cars like minivans/trucks/large or heavy cars ABS is a plus.

Although on my sports cars ABS is a minus, my 240 didn't have abs and I like how it as opposed to my dad's sr g20 w/abs. I think they feel the same until you reach the threshold iirc.

no abs can be dangerous in the rain for inexperienced/experienced drivers alike. so be mindful if you do remove it, its a preference

[carlova78]

abs brakin? whats wrong with it?

[JDori]

yea we need a fuse switch system...so u can have it on for driving and turn it off for slidin.




*god that was corny, but hey*

[hellfire]

I believe it is fused. Which means you can pull the fuse, and not have ABS. Your wish is granted.

Tyler

[JDori]

if thats the cause i can make a switch just like i did for my sleepy eyes......

[carlova78]

yea so wats the difference in abs and w/o abs?

[JJ Alfano]

slam your breaks with abs your breaks will studder but stop you...slam your brakes without ABS and they will lock up and you will slide forever until you die.

[tetos]

remove it

[S14Tech]

considering that my driving skills are barely above those of a 15 year old. I think i'll just leave the abs in for now...
plus i can only imagine the random problems i'd run into if i tried to physically remove the abs.

[Wedge]

I have done it. If you need any help or have any questions feel free to ask.

You can't tell a difference in normal driving, but it does make the engine bay alot cleaner.

[hellfire]

Yep, its very simple to do. Either get OEM non ABS lines, or just pick up some lines from your local Auto Parts store and bend them yourself.

Tyler

[JDori]

i have question....is there any real diff btwn ABS rotors and non ABS rotors...

cause i noticed this alot back in june when i need to replace mine. lots of companies selling abs and non abs rotors.

[S14Tech]

I wanna say that there is definitely not a difference, but i've never actually checked that myself. You can check the part numbers if you really need to know.

thats not good

[hellfire]

I think actually there is. ABS and Non ABS rotors are different sizes. You can't put ABS rotors on a Non ABS S14. I say this lightly, but I think thats right.

[BenefitX]

non-abs cars are not as bad as you guys described them...i love my car with non-abs...

[zakkkaliscious]

i like ABS it will save you in the rain.

[JTA021]

if this trade w/ JJ falls through, i will def be removing it...
ABS FTL!!
driving skills FTW!!

[BlackMage]

I personally don't like ABS systems mainly because for some reason I can still manage to lock all 4 down and go sliding and if I pump it like non-ABS it tends to go all wacky on me. So ABS ftl! Plus I know how to brake even in the rain and can generally have more of a controlled feel in a non-ABS car than ABS. But that's my own personal preference.

[osiriskidd]

threshold braking and season tires. the end. technology should not replace education.

[Barnacles240]

s13 abs rotors are bigger....will not work at all with non-ABS cars

[\\'angan]

does my 93 coupe SE have abs....plz tell me it does?

[v-empire]

it does..............






does it say hicas on the side?

does it have a huge robot on the pasanger firewall in the engine bay? is so then yes.

[\\'angan]

damn i figured i could just ask, but looks like im gonna have to go check anyway...brb

[S14Tech]

follow the hard-lines form your brake master cylinder across the engine bay... do the lines just disappear and go under the car or do they meet at a big boxy thing on the opposite side of the engine compartment? The boxy thing would be the ABS actuator thingie, which would be indicative of you having ABS.

napolean dynamite.

[k0013]

personally I have to side with keeping abs under normal traffic driving just for the idiot factor of atl traffic. yes, a great driver doesn't need it ,but for zoning out in traffic i'd like to have it howver a switch to turn it off in spirited driving conditions would be nice.

[JJ Alfano]

i love ABS, and I can still brake drift with them...i dont understand why people say otherwise...
