Get hold of a spare fuse module (order from a dealer or online). Pop the cover off the fuse module and snip the fuse for the ABS. Swap modules back and forth as required.

That's what I was thinking to do for my next competition. I really really would like to try to figure this problem out, what triggers it, what helps it, etc. but I probably should wait and do that during a regular track weekend instead of a competition weekend.

Were you running the DTC pads? Which compound in the rear?

The DTC's are a little weird on the torque curve as they come up to temp, I remember having some ABS issues with them until they hit the sweet spot in certain braking zones.

In the beginning I thought tire size might be a factor, but I run the same tire size now as I did back then and have had various other combinations and nothing has really made a difference in that regard. Pad compound however has been #1 in controlling the ABS issue. Low torque, low grab but high temp is what works best.

Mike, I was talking with one of the mechanics for the SFR world challenge team and he said that Nissan was looking into an ABS solution for them and would have it ready before Long Beach.

You may want to check with them and see their approach to the problem.

I'll put money on them installing a race ready ABS system.
