    200sx was 250bhp/280bhp (depending on boost level I picked).

    Friend has a rolling roaded 303bhp (now upto at least 330 at getting it roaded on 10th March along with my clio lol), and he could only 'just' pull away from me, so the power was more likely 280. He also has a brand new turbo that spolled quicker than my factory 90k miles turbo lol.

    Car only weighs in at standard 1.2 tons so not losing that much, and some club members have stripped car close to 1 ton. (his and mine were NOT stripped and had full leather interiors).

    I quote the 250bhp instead of 280 because I never had it rolling roaded for proof, as I was going to make the same mods for the 330 but then decided to sell and get the clio (as getting married).

    Anyway... braided hoses and having the master cylinder braced really help improve the feel of the brakes. I would say though that haven't ABS on the 200sx was very good. Even going slow I have needed it on occasion. I guess the clio version is just really bad?

    Have you considered using a different abs unit? (from another car maker)? I found the ones on my s14a pretty good, and should be pretty abundant. Honestly not sure how you could use the sensors, or if it's linked to the ecu though.

    I would think you don't really need abs on track though if that's your main goal for the car.
