What model you have? If you have VDC you don't have traction control unless you are referring to LSD on the Sport model.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

I thought traction control was a part of vdc. If you shut off vdc, traction control is off.

I would guess you would have to hold it down for 5-7 sec

I heard it turns off all the airbags too, since you want to live on the risky side and have a higher chance of a crash.

Doesn't make any difference. "Instant touch" off or 5-10-15 seconds hold = same result.

I kinda have to agree. OP please drive carefully once you turn VDC off. We have lost plenty of 370Zs due to VDC being off.

According to page 74 of the June 2010 copy of Import Tuner Magazine. The only way to fully turn of traction control is to remove the Bosch modulator under the emergency brake. Hope this helps, I have not tried it yet.

The OP said he was going to autocross the car.
Seems like a good, reasonably safe place to drive the car without VDC interfering.
