I seem to have a problems with my brake setup and although i have a seperate post for it, i would like to gather opinions regarding the removal of the ABS.
I have removed my ABS system by bypassing the ABS pump and connecting the master cylinder hoses directly on the proportion valve. I gathered mixed opinions about this mod where some say you should also change the proportion valve with a non abs one and others say you can re-use the existing one.
here are some posts i found regarding this topic

How I see it is if Nissan could have used the same proportion valve for non ABS and for the ABS system why would they install two different valves for ABS and Non ABS cars ? there must be a reason.
But on the other hand, the simplest mod of removing the ABS, is to remove the fuse which disables the ABS pump, and the brakes still work even though the proportion valve is an ABS type.
I know many of you did this mod, but knowing also that ours cars are mostly off the road, has anyone actually got his brakes to work after removing the ABS ?
Thank you.
