dcarrter21 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 just a quick one here. is the abs unit itself worth anything or would it be better to remove the whole system to sell? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hmmm, interesting you should ask that... On an ABS fitted car, there are two pipes coming out of the master cylinder... on my non abs-ed NA there are three. What are you thinking with regards removing it? I have a few ideas but want an untainted opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I can't see they are worth anything on their own as so much else would need to be changed to make it a retrofit option. It's not like we ever hear of ABS unit failures either so not exactly an in-demand item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 thats what i thought.im wanting to remove the abs,i would look to taking the whole lot out if it could be fitted to a non abs supra and if it could fetch a good price!

Guest intrex Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 does anyone has pictures of the non abs lines where they go and where they connect. I'm removing my abs and I need to see how on a NA supra the lines are connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've done a bit of searching but I can't seem to find any pictures that would help. I do know that an extra brake pipe is required to facilitate the removal of the ABS. To be a little more specific its the pipe which runs from the brake master cylinder towards the left hand (near side??) front corner on a non-turbo supra IIRC. Got that little nugget from Paul Whiffin when I enquired last year. Still haven't put it to good use yet though. I dont actually know if the part required is from a car without ABS or any other details of the operation. I certainly would like some guidance on this matter too if at all possible.

Guest intrex Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 will be great if anyone can snap a couple of pictures... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Why are you wanting to remove a safety feature to make a few quid?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 My Supra doesn't have ABS, but to retrofit, would require to change both rear hubs, both rear driveshafts, a similar change upfront, (unknown) and lots of wires and sensors and ECU's (unknown) and electronics (unknown). The plumbing would be the easy bit. I will do you a favour and give you a tenner for the lot, and expect it to be delivered for that price too.
