My S1 1995 has it, ABS is good, Ive never flat spotted a tyre on the track, why, ABS, why would you want to get rid of it ?????

Unless its a BALLS TO THE WALL race car

I was told there is a wire you can disconnect to disable it for motorkhanas so you can do J turns and stuff.

ALSO IF THE CAR IS REGOED IT WILL BE A MAJOR DEFECT, you are removing safety gear.

LOL! ^^

Totally agree. No reason to get rid of it unless its a serious track car. You rarely ever panic brake on the track either. And panic braking is where you need it.

But im sure in a sec there will be a whole lot of Non ABS users saying they have superior foot control and can make their cars brake to maximum limit without skidding therefore its better than ABS. But the next time a kid/car pulls/walks out infront of you @ 100KM/H and you have 0 time to think, let us know the result. hehe

I have a S2 without ABS. But then again I have superior foot control and can make my car brake to maximum limit without skidding therefore its better than ABS. Just yesterday I had a kid, or was it a car?, pull out in front of me while I was doing 100km/h. I swear I had zero time to think about it and slammed on the brakes causing the back of my car to step out a little but luckily I came to a quick stop and missed him (or her, or the hermaphrodite in the car). A good result I think.

I'm no expert, but I was always under the impression that R33 series 1 had no ABS and R33 series 2 did have ABS.

Series 1 did have ABS, very rare, I have seen it, also have seen series 1 with Airbags, they look like the S14 Series 1 airbag wheel, super UUGLYYYY

Indeed no expert. Comprehension is also not a strong suit - see the previous posts to yours.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
