Abs Removal. How To?

[RBceffy25]

Heya!

I am about to do an R33 brake conversion and Ichiba 5-stup upgrade on all four corners of my ABS equipped Cefiro.

I would prefer to remove the whole ABS system to reduce weight, increase engine bay space and just generally tidy up excessive line etc.

What is the correct way to do this?

Or do I just leave it alone all together?

if it is for road use then you may want to check the legality of removing the abs unit

Cheers, will do.

Anyone got any answers?

Even for track use, ABS can be very helpful, and its easy to disable (fuse).

If you must remove it, pull the globe from the dash, disconnect the loom under the rear shelf and remove the ABS computer, remove all the brake lines, ABS hub, sensors, etc.

Keep in mind the hard lines on Cefiro are Cefiro only...as they're a mix of using S13 master cylinder (which will also need to be replaced) running along an R32 firewall. Making your own solid brake lines isnt hard, if you're doing the R33 conversion you'll need to make up your own flexible brake hoses too (or dodgey modify the banjo bolt), so just do them all in one hit, but yeah, I reckon keep it...more con's than pro's if you remove it.

Do you have it?

Its seems to be a rather shitty system or mybe mine is faulty?

When i hit bumps on the road while braking the ABS has a tendency to kick in and then off again making it quite annoying. This happens when under braking and the driven wheel(s) skip off the ground when on a bumpy surface, causing a bit of slip in the diff or something and (i assume) the ABS computer reads this as high speed or hard braking braking and jumps into action when i dont want it to.

I like to be in full control of my cars functions but the ABS seems do have a bit of a mind of its own at times.

I have all the gear to do the conversion including braided lines etc.

I have also just been informed that there may be some legalities involved if i remove this. Is this the case?

If I keep the abs will it work with the hubs and calipers i have?

Or do I need ABS compatible hubs or something?

While on this toppic,

What the difference with the ABS diff? I have been told its longer but will this affect my decision to put a shimmed, 4.11:1 R33 center in it?
