Default ABS on an S12

Is there any possible way I could put ABS on my S12?

And if so..... how?

The S13's came with ABS so might be worth looking for one being broken on SXOC.

I guess you'd need...

Wheel Speed sensors
ABS ECU (If it's even separate)
ABS Pump
Might need the Servo and Master Cylinder
A few lengths of Brake line and tools to make the ends up

God knows how you'd go about it but anythings possible if you've got the time and money

You would need the S13 front hubs and the S13 diff which has a sensor in it to get this to work. Or use an S14 system which I think has sensors on each rear driveshaft as opposed to the pinion shaft on the S13.

Again, why bother?

Hi Rich,
This is one of the mods I`m doing to my s12. But I did have a complete 200sx donor car to start with. The ABS module is located behind the 200`s rear quarter panel. As I`m transferring the complete wiring loom over into the s12, it shouldn`t be too difficult for me (I`m using a modified version of the 200 dash also). But to be honest, I think it would be too much hassle just to install the parts separately .
Regards,
Ian.

I guess it`s down to personal choice though. I will be driving the car in anger a lot and considering the amount of rain we get up North, it seems a sensible decision to me.

Plus I don`t know of any other s12 with ABS, so that`s a good reason in my eyes...LOL... .

Regards,
Ian.
