350Z / G35 CORRECT FULL VDC, TCS, ABS delete for BURNOUTS and LEFT foot breaking!
Table of Contents
Introduction
This tutorial will guide you through the process of disabling the Traction Control System (TCS), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) on your Nissan 350Z or Infiniti G35. This setup is designed for those looking to enhance their vehicle's performance for drifting and doing standing burnouts.
Step 1: Access the Yaw Sensor
- Locate the center console and remove it to access the yaw sensor beneath the armrest.
- Disconnect the yaw sensor by unplugging it. This sensor monitors the vehicle's angle during driving and must be disabled to prevent unwanted cuts in power.
Step 2: Disconnect the ABS Connector
- Find the brake fluid reservoir, which is next to the brake fluid cylinder.
- Identify the two connectors above the reservoir.
- Remove the gray connector (top one). This step will stop any signals from reaching the ABS computer, allowing for smoother operation during drifting.
Step 3: Access the ECU
- Go to the passenger side and look under the glove box to find the ECU.
- Pull the coolant tab to lower the ECU wiring harness.
- Identify pin 101 on the ECU wiring. This will usually be a blue wire with an orange stripe.
- Cut this wire. This action prevents the ECU from receiving information about brake application, which could disrupt your ability to perform left foot braking during drifts.
Step 4: Reassemble and Test
- After making all necessary disconnections and modifications, reassemble the center console and ensure everything is securely back in place.
- Start your vehicle and test the setup. You should be able to perform a standing burnout and execute left foot braking effectively.
Conclusion
You have now successfully disabled the TCS, VDC, and ABS on your 350Z or G35, allowing you to perform burnouts and drift more effectively. Make sure to follow all steps carefully, and consult your vehicle's service manual for specific pin configurations if you have a different model year.
