A way to Disable ABS for FD?

Sorry if this is a super noob question, I tried searching disabling abs, but all i found was how to remove it completely.

I was just wondering if there's a technique/removing a fuse or just something simple as a button I have to press to disable the ABS i a 93 FD3S?

Thank you!

Unplug the ecu in the back and tape over the dash warning light! ABS fuses should be labelled in the fuse/relay box in the engine bay if the sticker is intact?

I found out a long time after buying my car, the big ABS fuse by battery was removed and the bulb removed from cluster.

^Yep, just pull the fuse. Go out and stomp on the brakes and you can tell pretty quickly if it's disabled.

Any reason why you are disabling it?

Just curious to see how it drives without ABS! Planning to go to drift events soon with the car.

Cool. I wouldn't worry about the bulb or anything, just pull the fuse, have fun, put it back when done.

I would make sure to have the car off when pulling and re-installing the fuse FYI.

aBS shouldn't make any difference for purposes of drifting fyi...

try to avoid too much wheel hop. that can break the diff. there are various threads on wheel hop if you want to search for them.
