So my cousins gf has a 350z. It's a pretty quick little car, but WTF is up with traction control? You can't catch a gear because of it. So I figured, hey, let's turn it off. Guess what, you can't. How do you make a mean ass car without being able to turn off TCS? Kinda dumb to me. Oh well.

You should be able to turn it off. I can turn it off in the Cobra. Did you look in the owners manual?

**MuddinPede_98C** · October 3rd, 09:13 PM

Skimmed through the owners manual, didn't see anything. It's no big deal. It's just you can set the rev limiter and all, but it says nothing for TCS. Like I said no big deal, I was just wondering why he wasn't slammin gears on the way to the store.

The bad thing though is you can't burn out if you want to or spin the wheels around turns and such. That's no fun.

**MuddinPede_98C** · October 3rd, 09:22 PM

Just not being able to catch the next gear and having to take it easy till about halfway through blows.

Is there a fuse for it like ABS? If so, you can pull the fuse for it...

I don't know if there is or not, though.

ha, yes. Our tahoe (yes i burn out in it) has the gay traction control thing, you can turn it off, but it comes back on after a little while. Fun while its not on tho.

On my dad's Caddalic Catera it's so fun to drive fast without Traction.

**bunkerman14** · October 3rd, 10:47 PM

thats gay. i would think that if you pay 30+grand for a car you should be able to turn on and off TCS

**MuddinPede_98C** · October 4th, 10:00 AM

I think I figured out how. On a 350z forum it said you can turn it off under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Will post result when I try it.

my buddy has a 350.....he has a button to turn his off.....I think it was one of the packages on his car

**MuddinPede_98C** · October 4th, 02:03 PM

Where is his button?

**Ninja7** · October 4th, 02:21 PM

there sould be a fuse you can take out for TCS. just look in the manual or go buy the service manual at a dealer.

**lbreevesii** · October 4th, 02:23 PM

the newer camaro's come w/ traction control which is totally gay! you can't burnout i your new camaro!!?! so the power tuner companies came out w/ their new models for the new cars, and they included some programming to turn off the traction control. that may be what you'll have to do to that350Z. the most involved that it could get would be for it to recuire you to replace an easily removed chip in the cars ecu.

**2ffu** · October 4th, 05:13 PM

my dad's 03 maxima se the tcs button is right near the steering colom on the left side.

**MuddinPede_98C** · October 4th, 07:59 PM

It's not his, it's gis gf's. I'm sure she wouldn't want a new chip in her car. I was just wandering if we missed it.

**Jinjiro** · October 4th, 08:10 PM

My 300Z doesn't have TCS so I don't have to worry about it. But I would guess that there is definitely a way to turn it off.

our seqouia has a button for traction control and stuff so i can burn out in it.

**Gunnar** · October 8th, 10:43 AM

Mine also has a button and you can turn it off. I have a Performance Model. You can spin the tires with or without it on. I wouldn't suggest pulling any fuses. Especially if you don't know what you are looking for. This a fun car to drive. Tell your brother's girlfriend to visit www.350zmotoring.com. She will get a lot of information on the car if wants to.
