It's an LED unfortunately. It will get done, unsure when but it will.

Worst peeve for someone that works with electrical systems are warning lights and non functioning equipment.

The useless TPMS idiot light is a LED.
As BULL mentioned, hopefully Frank (Motorvate) with all his CANBUS signal sniffing, will find the right CANBUS PID's so we can disable that circuit entirely.

Hello everyone!

At the moment I'm sadly to inform that in the automatics the switch will act differently than in the 6mt.
Unless you have a mechanical LSD, YAW off = Fully open differential, you'll have better control of the car with just the VDC off.
With manuals the diff is not controlled when the YAW is off, with an open diff the ABS no longer interferes thus making you peel.
If you have an auto with a mechanical LSD the switch will work for you.

Maybe someone can throw us a link to a differential thread/list so folks can combine this mod with a junkyard or ebay search if they need to add an LSD diff. I'd search and post but I'm on mobile today and so... no.

BULL Please PM me…

Bull, been a lurker here for a while, but just signed up, and it looks like I can’t message you yet. I would like a G37 drift switch, please let me know what I need to do to get on a wait list/order one. Thank you!

QUOTE=BULL;4306722]Hello everyone for those that don't know I wire things up in my spare time. The product I'm providing is a YAW sensor bypass/ Drift switch.
Z/Gs have a lateral gravity sensor called the YAW rate sensor. This particular sensor will interfere with the car's throttle during a heavy lateral Gs. Usually a heavy turn coming in fast, you'll see that even with VDC off the car will cut the throttle and the stability light will blink.

By doing some research you'll find that most people cut a wire to the sensor and place a switch inline to turn it on and off. Though this method works it involves cutting and drilling depending on the switch you choose.

I came up with a clean "plug and play" method which wont require any cutting nor drilling to install and can be easily removed if the owner wishes to re-sell the item or the car itself.

I created 2 types, one for the 370z and one for the G35/37 for both the 7at and 6mt.
For detail purposes I have to customize the switch for the G since my supplier only carries orange.
The differences in both are colors and placement of switch.
The Z uses the center console for switch placement
The G I went ahead and utilized one of the few blanks these cars offer and it's by the hood lever area.
Fully crimped harness covered in heatshrink as non invasive as possible.
LED on equals operational system.
LED off equals system disabled.
Just like the DIY bypass you'll have to cycle the key once you're done using the button.

Trying to make a plug and play electronic part budget friendly was a bit of a challenge but you dont have to do any permanent modifications to the vehicle by opting for this option.
The Z kit can be yours for $45 shipped in the US
The G will be at the same price ONLY FOR MYG37 members only. The G switch harness is 5 feet longer and includes a white LED ($55 normally) (Since most of you were the driving force behind this)
Anyways here are the pictures

Hello there, I've slowed down on these harnesses due to focus on engine swaps. Hopefully by the time you're able to PM I should be able to make you one.

I installed the switch just recently and it is awesome!

Haven't tried drifting or donuts yet.

But the button works in cutting off power to the YAW module and it looks cool when lit up at night!

Hi BULL,

Stumbled across this thread, and just sent you a PM! Very interested in getting a hold of one of these for my 6mt sedan, which just had a Wavetrac LSD installed!

Thanks!

Ansley
