You can still turn it all the way off, just set it to the lowest setting, which will disable traction control entirely. Note that there's still ABS functionality, including "ice mode". The only way to disable that is to cut the yaw sensor (there's a DIY for it). With it on, the car will understeer when trail braking because the system is applying the rear brakes to try and straighten the car. Long story short, just don't trail brake

Yea so I got that part but what I was confused about and can't seem to get a solid answer was about the stability portion of the VDC. It seemed from factory with VDC off all stability was off to the point you could spin a 360 and there would be no stability assist to straighten you out (as was tested doing the VDC off test at leguna "warm up" figure 8 in parking lot. So with ecutek VDC off I know wheel "slippage" is now tunable but what happens with the stability assist portion? With VDC on it will use yaw and steering angle to do selective braking to help keep you straight but what about when off now? I haven't been able to go find an empty lot to go play around it and get a feel for it yet.

Hey so I got my tune and still adjusting to the quicker throttle but I think I like it, need to give it a couple days before I know. I have asked Seb about the VDC thing a couple time but I am still not completely sure I understand it. Since you have the same thing and go to some of the same tracks I plan to, can I ask you a bit more about it vs Oem?

For what it's worth, carbon ceramic brakes are a liability for the people who will really use them (on the track). It's not affordable to spend $8k on rotors every 10 track days, nevermind the...

IIRC, there's a T-junction in there that makes it a real pain...glad you got it sorted out!

VDC will eat rear pads guaranteed. :( Best to turn it off and get used to running without it, or look into getting your car tuned with EcuTek, which includes a track-oriented replacement for VDC. ...

I don't see how the pad material would transfer when cold? The only way you should be able to get that imprint is if you leave the brakes applied while hot and the rotors aren't turning. Might be...

Well, if you see the pad imprint on the rotor, that would do it. If you've already tried rebedding them, you could try polishing them with garnet paper to remove the deposits. If that fails, replace...

Take a look at the Fast Intentions exhaust. F.I. also makes long-tube headers, which I have, as well as their TT kit. Since you have a 2016 Z, you don't have to get smogged for 5 years. I envy you!
