Disabling VDC

yaw sensor
Just got into the 2015q40 which is basically a rebadged 2013g37 and I simply cant get used to the Traction constantly kicking in. So far what I understood is that disabling the break switch located on top of the brake pedal only allows to do a standstill burnout and the yaw sensor kicks in when trying to do a continous drift. Does any one havr the dyi for both of these switches ? I found some for the 350z but if im not mistaking the g37 sedan is a little different. I have no electrician skill at all so I needd a detailed explanation. Please help! Also I want to avoid drilling any holes .
Btw disconnecting abs/vdc fuse doesnt seem to be beneficial at all because it wont let you do a burn out since brake switch is on and wont let yiu drift either because the yaw sensor is resposible for that. Correct me if im wrong . Thanks

I asked about this before as well.....On my other car I was able to cut into the YAW sensor & wire in a switch. I will be doing that this weekend on the G. I also can't stand that the system is still on even when turned "off"......
So the sensor in under the center console? Same place as it was on my other car.

If you look Google "Nissan Titan burnout mod" you have your fix. There are two methods, the one I did was by routing to the ecu. Another version is wired from the brake pedal. From the ecu you keep brake lights and from the pedal you lose them when the switch is thrown.

You should do the green wire for sure. That will stop any power going to the sensor, if you do the black that cuts the ground out, but then you may have problems with the power going through the sensor. I dunno. I did the green one and did the e-brake and the foot brake and wired it all to a switch with some relays. It works great, also it removes the AWD if I dont want it on. Lots of fun

Green it is. Switch is in & working fine. Mounted it between the seat heaters...though the drill bit danced on me...all I have is a hammer drill.... Mangled the trim piece a bit. Got a replacement coming off eBay & will revisit the switch location after I get it.
Now the traction light as well as the VDC light are on when the switch is enabled.

For those of you that don't feel the need for a switch but get the itch for a good burnout every once in a while, you can just reach down and hold the brake switch as you depress the pedal. Its the one on the left, its not that far of a reach, no need to even unplug the switch IMO.

I did this and the switch interrupts the wire. The thing that I'm running into, which hasn't been mentioned, is that I flick the switch, and everything is off - cool - but then when I hit the switch again to reconnect the wire, everything stays off until I cycle the ignition. In other words, I need to turn the car off and back on to get it back to normal. It's not a matter of just flicking the switch to get it back. Are any of you guys running into this? I tried the interrupt on the green wire, and then on the black wire, and it's the same for either.
As for the brake switch, if you're at the track, you can just put a piece of tape over the brake switch while you're at the track for trail braking or burnouts.

You can do all that and it's more permanent but
simply taking your 37 somewhere where there's loose gravel if you can't do a break stand. That's for you awd guys who haven't spent more than $35-5000 on performance as I have you can hack it but just get somewhere slippery and floor it. That VDC Light with come on telling you there's a malfunction. From then your awd g will act like a semi locked did red car for a few minutes. But it's b.s. you can drift them on pavement you just gotta have the skills and guts to do it. My suggestion find a quiet lot where you won't be pestered and start driving in a circle faster and faster. Once you can balance it regardless of what sensors are on start again going the other way. Eventually it comes together. Look at this crazy dudes outside of dubia drifting fwd cars. It's a SKILL, and while you might be able to burnout easier cutting some wires your your wasting time you should be practicing. And get sway bars at the least. Make sure you know which way your turning them and just have fun with it. But be safe. Stay out of lots with light poles. Stadiums large theatres. They goal is to learn how to lose traction in your rear or awd car. But seriously be safe...
