Default traction controll and speed regulator

how do i disable the traction controll? (is it better with the traction controll off?) how do you get rid of the speed limiter, to go past 130mph or wherever the limiter is set at?

BUMP on this because I have the same question about the TCS. Don't see a button to turn it off...just a VDC button. Help a brutha out so he can do his first rear wheel drive burnout!

when you press on the VDC button...and see the VDC light on the dash...that's to turn it off. As for the remove of the speed i'm not sure about it, but the TS or the AAM ECU flash can removes it " I think "

Yeah, I mentioned that I'm aware of how to turn that off. We asked about how to turn the TCS (traction control) off. Anybody?

I think you misunderstood, the 350Z equipped with VDC is all encompassing Dynamic Stability Control and Traction Control.

On models with VDC the light indicating VDCOFF means no Dynamic Stability Control or Traction Control.

On models without Dynamic Stabilty Control the in-dash lamp indicates TCSOFF.
