Well here we go lol...

1. Twist off shift ****



2. Remove Shift boot assembly



3. Remove HVAC (the cord that connects the climate control)



4. Cut the carpet that covers the Bosch unit



5. Look at the Bosch unit...



6. Unscrew those screws???? Someone needs to help me on this lol?

7. The mess...

 

ehmmmm.... no, not quite.

there is a connector behind the shifter, right under the ash tray... you need to unplug that.

no need to remove all that stuff, just unscrew the center tunel cover(3-4 screws) and raise it a bit until you can unplug the connector.

 

umm.. can you show me?
lol im a visual learner

 

I am currently 6000kms from my car... it's going to be hard to show you

But do not despair! It's pretty easy, lol.

You need to unscrew the center tunel cover. There are 5 screws I believe.

1- is under the ashtray, you need to remove the ashtray
2- is on the left side at complete back, around where seatbelt plug
3- is same as above, on the right side
4- is right under that white connector you are holding in your THIRD picture.
5- is the other one on other side.

You lift gently the tunel cover, and right under the ashtray there is a grey connector that goes to the bosch unit(it has bosh written on it I believe) you unplug that and you are done.

 

but i do have to do that every time i turn VDC completely OFF?
wouldnt it be easier to leave the 2 screws off the bosch unit and just let it be...
then i can just lift the shift assembly to disable?

screwing out 5 screws and disconnecting is fine if u dont plan to do it often i think...

or im @@?

 

how do we disable tcs?

 

once you unplug the connector it's off permanently... to turn it back on you need to plug it back in.

I don't understand what you are trying to do with the screws and bosch unit.

 

And here I thought jvanquish was actually going to contribute something to this board!

 

Another's post above makes my point: it might be okay for experienced semi-pro drivers to disable VDC BUT 90% of Z owners do NOT qualify and have no biz taking out safety devices.

Another does not know enough about the Z to understand VDC includes TCS.

You guys who are thinking about doing this need to read the last half or so of this:

im not mario andretti or will i ever be any where close lol
but i think if u got an empty lot to play with... turn that **** OFF!

 

What hsppened to the guy that was making a switch kit for just this purpose?

 

WHY cant you guys just wait until the track season... haha everybody wants to be sliding around DURING A RAINY SEASON!!! just wait till the track season starts back up and i will be selling them, i got delayed by my dads death, but when it gets warmer out and the tracks are opening.. they will be for sale again.Unpluging it is stupid, you set of sensors and to plug it back in... its a B!tch.. my switch will not recquire you to continuously pull the plug. JUST WAIT!!! lol

my main thing is i have an enthuiast.

how would you be able to disable the tcs is it the same box or is it elsewhere?

 

TSC doesnt have LSD braking mechanism
I have encounters with VDC LSD braking while doing stupid **** lol ()
thats why i want to take it oFF

 

LOL, me too. I was like "Cool, finally someone is gonna show us how to..."

 

Jvanquish got lost while trying to show everyone how to...
needs someone who had done it before to tell Jvanquish if he is on the right track...

i think i am on the right track

 

Bone dry down here...
