Turning off TCS fully

StevenSlice · 08-10-2017, 07:55 PM

So went to a autocross event this last weekend and pushed my Z rather hard for having crap tires, being a base non sport, and mildly worn out suspension.

As i was pulling it out of corners i was noticing the traction light was still rearing its ugly head when i was jumping on the throttle. I turn VDC off because who in the world buys a RWD car with a decent amount of power to leave all the nannys on. I would like to know if theres a way to turn it off completely, even if it means losing some things like ABS or power steering.

The car intends to see higher speed courses such as WSIR, Buttonwillow, Sonoma, Auto club in Fontana and more.

Any info on the subject would be awsome, thanks ahead of time!

See this link

I used three switches just for a more uniform look. I think it looks almost OEM with three switches (only one works, the other two do nothing):

It's a good mod! Did mine a couple of months ago.

The panel cut-out for the switch is a common size, 0.830" x 1.450", so you can get these just about anywhere.

As mentioned in the link above, and as I did, you will have to just barely round the square edges on the outer trim of the switches so the fit, but it's a quick easy fix, and you never notice it once you have them installed. Doesn't take much.

I just did this mod monday! Flipped the switch and was able to finally do some mad skids and let the back end track around going through corners without it petering out on me.
