so now that we have the diagnosis... what do we do about it? ideas:

1. as binks points out, maybe there is some way to change the ABS computer to either get rid of the mode all together or 'widen the parameters' that cause this mode to kick in... I would have no idea where to start with this solution

2. fool the sensors into recording less wheel spin value difference... this is playing with fire, could cause more probs than it solves

3. disable ABS all together... again, not good for all but the most hardcore... I wouldn't do this

4. *much* stiffer suspension... band aid... prob requires 800 lb/in springs

others ?

Stillen might have to use their Nissan contacts for this one. There might be a race program or alternate ABS computer.

Possible, but would require an inline computer to receive the values, translate and retransmit to the ABS computer.

Actually probably the best solution for now but is going to require us to learn proper threshold braking techniques.

Also has the detriment of possibly reducing corner grip if taken too far.
