ABS on the blink....please help!!!

This morning on my ride to work the ABS (or what felt like) started acting up. I have felt the ABS working under hard braking, but this morning it happened when I lightly pressed the brake about half way through my 30 min ride to work in regular traffic. Weather is clear and dry. My ABS light is not on either. I just put on my Maxspeeds and GR2's this weekend, but did not touch the brakes. Has anyone had this happen to them?? Please help!

you may have knocked one of your ABS sensor wires loose. i did this when i installed my RSB. the connector on the rear is in the wheel well and accessable without lifting the car. just make sure connections are tight.

Nissan just told me that because of my new rims and tires that the ABS is reading a different speed. I went from a 17 to an 18" rim and from 225/50/17 to a 235/40/18. Also I have been driving on these rims and tires for a while with no problem. Guy said that it is a huge difference and that the computer needs to be recalibrated. I know this is BS, but just in case have any of you ever heard of this happening???

Well now they say that the speed sensor is not reading which is making the computer think that the wheel is in a skid. I hope this takes care of this! At least this make a little more sense.
