I've been wondering this too. ABS was nowhere to be found on any of the Altimas I looked at. No dealers in Dallas had them. Maybe one or two, but no 3.5SE optioned anywhere near how I wanted one.

Can you install a system from a wrecked 3.5, or even buy one aftermarket? ABS has saved me before and I would like to have it.

Candyman.. where the hell have you been?? I've missed all of your insightful posts.. ;) Why wouldn't you want all the safety features?? You're probably paying an arm and a leg for insurance.. If I was you.. I'd have every safety feature the car had to offer..
Welcome back Candyman. Did you do anything to your car yet?
good luck with the abs. i think the install would be difficult.

this works for abs ! ;)

(sorry. i'm bored at work)
ABS should be standard on every f*cking day to make the road safer............ something like that. :angry2:

No way will there ever be aftermarket ABS for anything. TC uses ABS wheelspeed sensors so you need ABS for TC.
You cannot cost effectively add ABS to an already built car.
This really pissed me off...

...glad someone brought up the subject.

It seems like convenience package is way more important here, at least in Texas than ABS (safety). When I was buying the Alty, I realized that it will take forever to get the car that I wanted (2.5 manual) and there was not a single one with ABS within 500 miles (if dealer is to beleive).

Why is this?

You know - even cheaper cars new in Europe come with ABS standard, not even an option?

Anyway... I am sure it is not cost efective to add as you would have to change the computer too...

My guess is most ABS cars go to the snow belt. Also most white cars go south, black cars go north, etc. etc.

candyman..

Good to have you back .. we miss your spelling ..

rpny.
yes

Better have abs here in LA area.Bad enough when it rains.The new thing around here now is at a light,they pull up to your right like they are turning right,then when the light changes,they shoot ahead of everybody.And if u get on there ass or say something,well u had better not.At least once a week i got some low lifes following me like they are looking for a car jacking of my car but the farther i go,the better the area and they turn around.Gota keep your eyes open big time in nlb.
