abs removal or not????

[gun32gtr]

as i posted b4 i have leaking abs master cylinder/i was told there not cheap to replace so i was think when it gets real bad i will just remove it and have no abs?

has anyone done this and bad problems with breaking,such as poor stopping power etc?

or should i just look for 2nd hand one?

and last if i where to take it out whats involved in this procedure?

any input will be appreciated cheers kane

I don't believe it is as simple as that. As I am led to believe (correct me if I am wrong) in the case of an ABS car, rather than just having the brake lines connecting straight from the braking master cylinder to the wheel calipers as they do on non-abs cars, they go directly from the brake master cylinder to the ABS unit where they can detect wheels locking up and apply even pressure (well a rapidly pulsating action) onto the brake fluid which then acts on the disc calipers to avoid the brakes locking up.

I hope that makes sense.

So in conclusion there is no easy way of just removing the ABS master cylinder as its connected directly inline with the braking system. ABS master cylinders normally begin leaking from people slamming on the brakes and using the ABS too often. If its not leaking terrible try and avoid using the ABS itself and it should hold out for the time being until you can afford to get it fixed. And yes there not cheap to replace, best bet is to try and source one off someone wrecking there GTR on the SAU for sale section.
