For you tire shredding burnout kinds just disable it. The controller is under the center console next to the e-brake.

Are there any lights that stay on?

In a Sport or a Nismo this is pretty much only going to happen when turning with the outside rear planted but loaded, and with enough suspension travel such that the inside wheel is light.

In auto-x and track driving you should almost never see ABLS intervene, and even if it did you probably wouldn't notice. It won't prevent you spinning out if you are mashing the gas with VDC off. It is an issue for track drifting since you need maximum wheel spin, but in all other track cases it is a non-issue.

:iagree:

As someone with a non-Sport, open-diff Z, I can attest that ABLS definitely does come into play with VCD off. I find that it's pretty easy to provoke ABLS in VCD-off, low-speed, low-traction, tight-corner situations.

ABLS only kicks in when there is a massively wheel speed differential between front and rear or rear to rear, so basically drifting, burnouts etc. I'm not into that stuff myself since I like my very expensive rubber :) You're also more likely to get it in an open diff car vs a LSD Sport/Nismo.

Sounds right to me. I just wish I could figure our a way to solve the "Ice Mode" ABLS problem without having to pay someone like UpRev $500 to "maybe" fix it. :tiphat:

hey guys, not sure if anyone has posted this yet. I know on some toyota and lexus vehicles, you start the vehicle, and press and hold the vdc button for 10 seconds, and everything from vdc and tc are disabled. So the other day I decided to try it out on my 2011 370z base model, and when you press and hold the button for about 15 seconds, it does completely disable the vdc and tc. You will also notice that you will not and cannot turn the vdc control back on once you completely disable it. You will have to shut the car off and restart it for the vdc to function as designed. Hope this helps.

How were you able to tell a difference? You can confirm that this turns off ABLS? If so, this is great news.

The pros who worked extensively on their race prepped z couldn't turn it off with just the button. This doesn't do anything except confirm that you don't want it back on for the duration of the time you're driving until you restart it. If you want it fully off, disconnect the Bosch modulator. I've had it disc for the last 2 years. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I was gonna be really surprised if it took 5 model years before someone figured out how to disable everything with just the VDC OFF button. Too good to be true, I guess.

You have it backwards. Pushing the VDC OFF button disables the Vehicle Dynamic Control (one of a couple of systems within the traction control system). The light on the instrument panel indicates that VDC is disabled.

I tested this out earlier today. If you hold the button, the light on the IP comes on as soon as you push it in. After what I estimate to be ~10 sec, the light on the IP goes off. I drove the car and confirmed that VDC was still enabled. I was unable to turn VDC OFF until I turned the engine off and restarted the vehicle.

Gents, Wanted to ask a question here relating to after you disable the control box next to the E - Brake. If you do this , does it record you have changed something via the ECU and thus void's warranty?

Also is there a write up or DIY of someone wiring a switch to the control box?

After reading the full post on yaw I may have a new solution. Have the switch give a false input for the yaw rate. You would not get the lights on the dash and you would have full control to power over steer. The other change would be to cut the brake input to the ECU. This would enable full burnout!!!

It would be easy to add both functions to the VDC switch. Touch the switch and you have full control and keep ABS. VDC light would still be on!
