Speed Sensor Alternative?

So besides better stopping distance, are better able to modulate the brakes and is brake feel increased?

Modulation is something I’m working on. Just did a few days at Daytona and pedal was really sensitive, which made modulating tricky. I’m at Sebring next weekend (my home track) and will really be able to test it out fully. I may end up removing the brake booster if it remains that sensitive.

Let us know what you learn!

I'm not sure if it'll work with the 370Z, but with my 350Z, I was able to split my ABS unit in half. Leaving the electronic connector portion so I could keep the tach, etc working.. but get rid of the ABS.

Maybe this would work for you too? Not sure how you've got things connected..

Thanks. I’ll look into that approach. I did leave the old unit in the car because the ECU needs to see that it’s at least there.

Ahh.. Well if you have the wires connected to the old unit, I guess you've already tried that solution then. I don't think splitting it in half will help any.

You will have to convert to a stand-alone unfortunately to get the rev match to work far as I know. Emtron kv16 but you don’t have any can bus integration (so custom patch harness to get full can bus control) , haltech nexus R5 has all the can bus protocol just needs a harness made, motec m150 full plug n play, take the factory Ecu out plug the motec in and start tuning and figuring **** out. Since the Z is blackballed ( for whatever reason) in any type of racing there isn’t much out there. So guys like you have to pave the way or spend time working around the factory Ecu.
