Abs On Na R33?

[RxGTR]

Im trying to get a 96 R33 GTS series 2, but my dads bitching about it not being safe enough. It has duel airbags as all of you know but it doesn't have ABS and he's now trying to make me forget about it. Are there anyways you can put ABS on non ABS brake kits? I know its going to need a ECU and all sorts of stuff but has anyone ever done it?

the r33 series 2 came with ABS, but i think it was a factory option and only some came out with it, i think the 97 model after came out with ABS option. Mines a 96 and i know i dont have it, and ive seen 97 models with it.

also tell your dad just because it doesnt have ABS doesnt make it any safer, thats how i use to think aswel, then i did level 1 & level 2 advance driving course and they teach you about thresh hold braking, in otherwords they teach you how to brake to the best of the cars ability without locking up the wheels but pulling up just as good as those cars with abs. its a good course to do regardless of what car you have and features you have. It teaches you about how the car handles in certain situations and helping to control it say something goes wrong.

+1 for the advanced driving course.

My R32 has ABS - and I think I have only activated the ABS twice in the 9 years I have owned it (and one of those times was on the track). As far as I'm concerned, ABS is for idiots who don't know how to drive (as distinct from those who have a licence).

Tell your dad that ABS is not the be-all-and-end-all of a safe car - it's the nut holding the wheel that counts.

Thanks heaps guys ill tell my dad about the ABS thing i had a feeling that its pretty stupid to depend on ABS when breaking all the time anyway. and as for the advanced driving course i was intending to do it anyway but thanks for the input

Hey dude, I'm currently in the process of doing an abs install on my non ABS R33 S2. Mines a Turbo though so i'm not sure if there are any differences.

Parts needed

Front ABS Hubs with sensors and wiring

Rear ABS Diff with sensors and wiring

ABS Computer

BMC

Pump

A few extra brake lines

Not sure about the ecu. I think its just a seperate computer kinda like the hicas. Not 100% sure though. Will find out soon enough.
