ABS braking Would like to point out!!!

[sushiming]

hey guys just noticed this actually...and would like to out to you guys aswelll
on the S15 I've known that the ABS is optional and not 100% but ive found a picture on yahoo japan which a S15 was for sale and it had no ABS but its not a spec R but wanna see if all spec R had ABS or was it really a optional part
here and picture of mine with the abs in the right hand conner and a pic of that S15 without abs

could be a S15 Spec R Type-B

Don't know, but I can't find a mention on the old Jap Nissan Silvia pages.

There's a very small possibility that its been removed due to the tubular manifold.

I notice there's no boost gauge sensor either...

 

[S15R]

hmm i guess its a Type-B, no gauge and alloy rims
not sure about ABS but i can see the abs plugs beside the struct

One annoying thing with our ABS systems is if you pull the fuse it stops the speedo working. Not really relevant but it does bug me.

Could have just been removed, its is a hefty bugger.
Maybe a 'stage 1 weight reduction' has taken place on the car :nod:

im with Brad on this one! It looks like a worked s15, and nearly everyone removes the ABS unit as a weight reduction and also as a power gain.. The ABS unit uses abt 4-6 kilowatts from the engine.. My mechanic told me this info n said they do it for the drag strip...

hope it helps..

4~6kw, so you r saying that abs is always working?


they do it for the drag strip is becuase they dont need ABS on their car they remove the seats becuase they arent taking any passenger

If you removed the ABS unit from an S15 in Europe, you'd be dead in no time. Our roads get wetter and greasier than yours...

 

[Ginuwine-S15]

nah they not always working.. i dunno lol thats what i was told by a well known mechanic! beats me

 

[S15R]

thats weird
