Ice mode solution?

gomer_110 · 08-25-2022, 08:51 PM

Lost a front splitter on my autox car earlier this year for exactly this reason. Came in hard on a tight 180, hit a small bump and immediate lockup. Ended up in the uneven dirt off the pavement where the splitter dug in and broke into pieces. I just don't understand why an abs system that behaves this way makes any sense.

Out of curiousity, which MK60 units are people using? From what I found the version of the unit you want (the programmable one), is nearly impossible to get anywhere. Is there a reliable source to get them from still?

Yeah, it's so ridiculous. Ice mode is one thing, I can still get that on my 991.2 GT3 for christ's sake, but this is a whole different level of stupid programming. My FRS race car uses OE ABS, and it's literally the best OE ABS I've ever used on track, better than BMW, Porsche, etc. So the whole "it's an affordable" sports car is an invalid excuse. I wonder if the 400Z has a better OE system that we can use. It's literally the exact same chassis and underpinnings. Perhaps they finally upgraded it and it's possible to use in our cars.

Contact these guys, they sell a Continental/Teves motorsport version of the MK60 for $3375 that comes with a full harness and everything. Turn-key. If my car wasn't such a nice, low mileage street car, I'd do it in an instant.

I would not hold out any hope of the electronic systems in the 2023 Z being better for track driving.
