How about simply answering an honest question instead of being a tool? Seriously, I cant stand forum morons.
I got my 06 Base Z for less then a base 03 Z, and my Z has very very low miles. THAT is why I asked that question.

You would spend more money doing it than you saved going base. Maybe next time you'll figure out what you want in a car before you purchase one?

Again it is a question. Apparently you have nothing better to do then make smartass comments. I know what I wanted in my Z, and I got what I wanted beside the TC and VDC, but the large price break I recieved far outweighed the later cost of possibly adding them.

Your likely looking at $5,000 ++ if it can be done at all.
The money you think you saved would be chewed up & then some to add the TCS or VDC(which includes TCS).
Your assumption the money you saved was more than the cost of adding VDC is probably incorrect.

I would guess that $5,000 wouldn't even get you started.
At a minimum you'd need:
You could probably find a third-party who may be able to do it for $5,000...
At a minimum you'd need:
- Wheel speed sensors
- Wheel speed wiring harnesses
- New ECU
- TC/VDC button
- Replacement wiring harness

You should be glad you don't have TCS. Just get a good LSD and call it a day.
Like PDX said, the things you need make it not feasible at all. The VDC/TCS setup is a pretty integral part of the electronics.
