Looks like I'll be dealing without ABS unless somone wants to put a custom 4
channel system on while I'm sleeping.

1994 Sentra SE-R

P.S. See reasons below for decision.

Chris: "When I had my 91, I pulled the plug on it and never looked back."
"...you're looking at a big job, with lots of expensive parts including
sensors at each wheel, different axles, the actual control box with all
associated wiring, and on and on. Unless you had a donor car you're looking
at a ridiculous bill for a 'suboptimal' ABS system."

Wayne: "You'll also need front axles and rear hubs with the slotted rings
that the sensor reads.

Sam: "Funny, I'm in the process of taking all the ABS parts off my 91 SE-R."

Patrick: "The 91-94 system does suck. The sensors themselves run
$200 each - they press in and deform the outer case so they
have to be destroyed to remove them, no used parts there.
Had I known I wouldn't have gotten the ABS."

Michael: "I yanked the whole ABS system out of my SE-R, the system is
useless, and only marginal in the rain. When it starts to snow, U will not
be able to
stop at all."  "U are asking for like 800 bux in sensors, another 400 bux in
new brake lines, and 1500 for ABS modulator with ABS computer. U have to
remove all the brake lines and run all new ones."
