Default No VDC Module

Hi, I have an 04 350z and I was trying to find a way to eliminate TCS instead of pressing the button as it is still some what on. I opened my center console and there isn't a module there, I thought it was because I have TCS and not VDC (hence the VDC module not being there). I looked through other forums and threads but haven't found anything on how to completely disable tcs, any help? Thanks

Simply press the button. TCS, unlike VDC, is either ON or OFF. There is no in-between state.

Check if you have a gray plug next to the brake fluid reservoir. If you do unplug it. This is what people with VDC do at the track to fully disengage the system (other than a manual switch).

So VDC is fully disabled when you press the TCS button?

VDC is never fully off with by turning off the TC button. From what I have read it turns it off 70%

I did this for my track days and it works out great.

So how would we go about making a switch if we have no yaw rate sensor module?

Huge subsections on "complete disablement of VDC on 350Z" here:

I have searched hence how I ended up here. All of them mention of removing the yaw sensor or wiring up a switch to one. I do not have a yaw/g rate sensor under my center console by my shifter.

03 Enthusiast w/ TCS button. No VDC button, No Yaw/G Rate sensor.

The 03 Zs came in 3 flavors: ABS only, ABS with traction control only (TCS), and ABS with full stability control (VDC). If the button says TCS you have the middle setup, and pushing the button completely shuts off the traction control. ABS stays on. If the button says VDC you have the third setup and pushing the button will disable most, but not all, of the stability control. but again, ABS stays on. Only cars with stability control (VDC) have the yaw rate sensor.
