Default Help with Trac/ABS delete

So I finally decide to do it, the biggest reason why I'm getting rid of ABS is because it's no longer working, and hasn't worked for awhile anyway.

So I've gotten two M10x1.0 T fittings, and I'm looking at the ABS/Trac modules on the right side of the car, and I see they are kinda listed, but they aren't.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...e-dscf0491.jpg

On KC's thread I'm looking at the pics, and I can't really tell which one is which.

Also I was hoping for anyone who had some clarification on the master cylinder lines. I can't really see where it's going to the modules.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What I'm looking for is a "Pin Out" of the brake system so I can figure out what goes where.

I havent done it yet, but memory tells me that the rear port of mc is for front lines.
I too would like to do this just for the sake of simplifying stuff and uncluttering the engine bay.

Soo... Im not sure what youre wanting with that pic, but it seems like all that is need is
1) 1 t, inlet is from rear port of mc, 2 outlets are going to left and right calipers.
2) front port of mc to connect to rear line( i believe there is line that runs back and t off at the rear)
3) remove abs/trac modules and units

Also, will you please document this, as i find kc95 thread to be a little confusing and cluttery.
Hope this helps.

Right, I'm aware of the master cylinder lines, but what I'm looking for is the lines from the ABS/ Trac. I need to identify what lines go where

Understandable, but why wouldnt you just go through the 1-3 steps i listed above. That seems to make the most sense. But i have yet to do it, so there maybe a few other things not listed.

It's listed weird, but it only shows the lines to the calipers. The ones I'm needing to find are the ones from the Master Cylinder to the ABS/Trac unit

I'm not trying to make new lines. I'm going to bend the stock lines to the metric T's instead.

So the Tee's will be located on the passenger side where the abs/trac USED to be

Wasnt there another guy that took the stock lines unhooked from the ABS unit and joined the o.e. lines together. The plan with that idea is to get rid if the accumalator and trac motor under the master cyl. as well as the ABS pump, but not run all new lines.

LoL, I think you misunderstood me, that's actually what I'm trying to do, however I don't know which lines go to where.
