Okay guys and girls. Im about to do my 5 lug swap and have a couple of questions, what will happen if you put non abs hubs on an abs car. i really dont think it will matter because my abs light is already on from a blown fuse, so i acually plan on taking all my abs stuff out anyways. But i would like to do th hub swap first.

Car will blow up. Figured Id return the useless post for ya.

Nothing will happen, Only difference in the hubs between the two is the reluctor wheel on the hub of the ABS that the sensor uses to tell if the wheel is locked.

ABS won't work.
But since yours doesn't work anyways.
Nothing will happen.

Not to thread jack or nothing but I'm doing this right NOW and need to know how to remove the front hub. Do I need to remove the center piece of it, and how?

Pop it off with a screwdriver.
Add a hammer to the equation if you need to.

A bird told me that you can press the ring onto the new hubs

A bird call Google told me that to, that's helpful since I am retaining my ABS with 5 lug. Even though people may say it sucks, it has literally saved my life once in the rain, so I guess I am indebted to keep it around.

I don't know about you, but I can't pulse my left, right, and rear wheels separately when hard braking... I just don't have that kind of skill. =P

I don't know what kind of hubs you're putting on there, but you should definately replace the wheel bearing with some stock oem nissan ones. My ichiba hubs lasted about 1k miles before the wheel bearings went in them. Always a good plan so you don't have to pull them off again sooner than you'd like.
