Thank you sir. Easy answer to an easy question. Hah

Why am I getting brought up? That thread is old

The pedal dance isn't necessary if you just want to **** around. Just do the 3 second hold, and ignore the blinking light. It will still allow you to do donuts, and slide around and do what you want. I don't even do the pedal dance for autocross.

Because you are one of those that believes that "disabled" means that it will not do anything:

When in fact IT WILL still respond when "off".


And you still haven't learned how to "quote" someone when responding I see.

I chose not to. If all you can complain about is me not using the quote function maybe you aren't old enough to be driving yet. Come back when you graduate high school

1 - I recently taught my granddaughter how to drive stick in my BRZ, based on your mature response, I am guessing she is about your age.


2 - Fuck Off (there does that date me better?) you were a prick on the other thread, and apparently you always are.

I didn't notice an issue when I ran my car stock recently. ^

None of the other Twins I have driven over the years have shown this problem either. (Most of them were BRZ's, but not all)

I have seen drivers completly spin both FR-S's and BRZ's with no pedal dance.

I'm not arguing what level of intervention may or may not be happening with just the hold-button-down method, but the cars seem to respond to inputs without protest....even when those inputs are bad ideas that cause spins.

...and I don't remember any of the lights blinking at me when I held down the button long enough to get both lights on.

I have spun off with all nannies on, that says nothing about it. If you cant notice a difference with and without pedal dance, you arent pushing the car to its true limits but rather what you perceive to be its limits. It will kick in on "off" mode.

I have seen the "if you don't want/need/feel it, you can't drive" suggestion regarding the pedal dance. It reminds me of the children's story "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Like I said, I'm not arguing what level of intervention is, or is not, happening with the hold-button-down method. I'm saying none of the twins I have ran at the limit have protested. (With lights or otherwise)

The same way you havent experienced it, I have and many others have. It wont bother you, until you go over a berm at 100mph and the EBD kicks in and the car gets loose out of nowhere. Then you might hate it with passion like I have. Or maybe not.

Lol you tag me into this thread, bitch about old shit, then tell me to fuck off? You're far more mature than I could ever be

The OP asked if the light should blink when the nannies are turned off using the hold the button method. I have not noticed any of the twins I drove do that to me.

Regarding EBD.....I raced a 350Z for over a decade and I never heard anyone complain about the EBD on that car. "Ice mode" was a rare issue, but "How do I disable EBD?" Was a question that never came up.

Did Toyota/Subaru really design their EBD in such a way that it causes problems....but only for elite drivers?

If disabling ABS rquired its own secret Shoryuken combo, would people join that club too?.....and then declare that everyone who doesn't mind running with ABS are bad drivers?

Chill man, Im flattered that you call me elite but im very far from it. I speak from my own experience with it.

You dont need anything crazy to make those lights turn on with the button push. Simply do the 3 sec push, then do a redline clutch dump to spin your tires and look at your dashboard, MAGIC, the TC light in the center of the tach is blinking!

You want a more of it? Go to youtube and type best motoring 86gt. Watch as Keiichi Tsuchiya (namely kown as the drift king) races a bunch of 86gts around Gunsai Touge, he drives them with the 3 sec button hold (you can see both yellow lights on the dashboard) and yet, the Stability control light is flickering on every turn. Is it gonna kill you? No. Does it make you slower? Probably not. Wait till you lift 1 wheel of the ground while on the power, thats when things get interesting.

So to answer OP's question, the light in the center of the tach (yellow light with a car sliding) will turn on with traction lost, even if you do the 3 second push, it is the car's normal response.

So the video I linked is me, in my car, launching near the top of the tach....with no blinking lights.
