Anyone ever heard of a way to reprogram your ABS parameters?

In other words, I hope we find something punctual that is specifically causing the ABS to go and remain in icemode, but I have a feeling its just the system doing its job in what it is programed to think is a "complete panic stop". I can guarantee you all that the guys with GT3's out there, who have a little bit more resources than most of us do, (I said most, congrats if that doesn't include you) would have found a fix for this already if it were a hardware malfunction.
I would like to think that the ABS could be reprogrammed, but I'm 99% sure that Nissan we never do this unless a flaw can be easily reproduced under street driving conditions, and that the flaw leads to several serious accidents.

Pretty much the only hope of a cheap fix is to locate the source of the triggers and do as much as possible to alleviate them.

At some point Nissan might release a Nissan Motorsports ABS unit for race cars, but it will probably be sold with a moderate price tag and a large "for track use only" warning. The later isn't a real issue for experienced drivers.
