Can't you just pull the fuse out for when you are offroad, stops the pulsing, and put it back in when back on the road. I would suggest (but don't know) that it could be illegal to disable your ABS.

Unless you have some other reason for pulling it out other than just to stop it working when offroad.... some background will help.

thats what i do now, pull the fuse but now its just wasted space under the bonnett and i am wanting to put a second battery there.

am trying to figure the legal side out, it was on option to get it, many dont have it, so if i fully remove it cant see what the problem would be, but im not the expert???????

4.8?

It will depend if you are fitting the brake system from a unit without abs, or just stopping your abs from working.

You cant assume they are one and the same.

its a 4.5, i know i can stop it from working but i plan to remove everything except the sensors in the diff and return it to a stock or no abs vehicle ????????

I think you'll find you can't remove ABS etc as the car would have an ADR on it refering to ABS on that vehicle. If removed it wouldn't comply with ADR's thus illegal.
You can still get a 2nd battery in on if its a 4.5

That's what I though and therefor assumed 4.8

where does the batt fit ?? any idea if someone manufactures a cradle?? the only ones ive seen the cradle goes right where the abs module is, thanks for the info, pics would be great

I too looked at that one. I was told the battery that goes with it is about the size of a motorbike one and the setup is odd. It's there for when you have flattened the main battery and this one really only jumps the car to start it and recharge the main one again. Defeats the purpose of dual batteries.

you CANNOT remove ABS if you wish to drive it on the road ever again.
You will never get insurance, if you hit someone, you wont be covered.

Does Nissan offer that vehicle without in a Pov pack? If so it is reasonable to assume that the ABS can be removed and engineered provided the braking system is the same in all respects to the POV pack vehicle. That is the logic Vic Roads apply to engine upgrades where the engine is a factory option, ie; V6 to V8 Holden.

thats what i would have thought joel, the st,s where only fitted wits abs as an option when ordered as new and the ti,s it was std i think, mines the st model and most dont have abs ???????????

i fitted two batteries in the factory position...

i can take some pics and show if you like

gudday

why dont you spin the bats 90 and drop one next to it and they fit nicely aswell..... then i'd be keeping the ABS with a on/off switch installed for off road....?

You can fit a 45aH Deep cycle, you might be able to get something from Optima or similar with a reasonable CCA rating

Pic is a 4.8 but we had the same setup in a 4.5 turbo.
