Crazy. I'm not sure why myself and my buddy who also tracks can't or haven't had Ice Mode to happen.

So are you just going to pull the ABS fuse? That's all to it? I'd like to learn some skills without ABS.

Unfortunately its not as simple as just pulling the ABS fuse. First, the ABS fuse is part of a block which is also tied into VVEL. You can cut the ABS fuse prongs off of that block I think to disable just ABS though, or maybe switch from a block to separate fuses? I am not 100% sure. The main problem that I have read is that since the 370Z ABS is electronically bias controlled, when you pull the fuse, the brake bias defaults to 50/50 which results in WAY too much rear brake. Hopefully its something that can be offset by running a really really mid pad, maybe even stock pad, in the rear. I haven't looked too deep into those who have run without ABS and what their setups were etc. I don't actually recall anyone who ran without ABS on the stock Akebonos. I think travisjb did, and I think AE Performance did, but they were both on AP Racing BBKs.

Makes sense... I had a lot of rear lock up when I was running with ABS disabled - and yes it was after the AP Racing upgrade

No ice mode for me at the track yesterday, just lots of rear ABS lock up causing the back end to dance around in heavy braking. I just need to find a lesser pad to put in there and try out. Maybe AutoZone duralast specials
