R33 ABS Retrofitting

[driftstore]

Has any one retrofitted abs to a no abs r33 ? If so do you know what parts are required and what needs to be connected to what ?

I imagine you will need wheel speed sensor on all 4 corners, ABS computer and maybe (not sure) the ABS pump to adjust brake pressure according to the ABS computer command.

Not sure how expensive this exercise will be, would it be easier if you learn to use "human ABS" instead? Learn the sweet spot on your brake pedal where you are just about locking the wheel when braking hard. With lots and lots of practice, you can make this a habit and be able to stop in emergency situation without panicking.

Moreover, people who regularly go to the racetrack normally prefer cars with non-ABS as the ABS sometimes kicks in too early when braking before corners.

yeah. sounds like a big job.

Its only 2 wheel speed sensors, the third one is at the diff and requires you to find an abs diff housing.

Its probably too late, but why not buy one with ABS in the first place, very little difference in prices...
