What you're talking about is a proportioning valve. This is typically a race only application and available here:

Wilwood Engineering - Proportioning Valves

Personally, on an ABS/VDC equipped car I wouldn't suggest you mess with this. You may get into more trouble than you anticipate. Most of your braking force is up front because those are the wheels that do most of the stopping. As you brake, the rear gets lighter. Increasing the pressure to them will result in premature rear lock-up and potential loss of control. This would be a particular problem in the wet. Nissan carefully calculated the optimum bias when the system was engineered..
