Default How to disable skid but maintain traction control for an '07?

I'm starting to think about autocross and where my is350's strengths and weaknesses lie. The biggest weakness with this car from a performance standpoint is the vague throttle feedback, making modulation quite difficult (huge change from my 350Z which was awesome in that aspect).

I think I can get around it keeping the traction control enabled. I really like how quickly and unobtrusively it operates.

Unfortunately, leaving it on also means the skid control is enabled which seems to be the complete opposite to traction. Skid control kills engine power for an unacceptable amount of time (for Solo2 that it).

Is there some magical method (ie: pulling fuses or some kind of button sequence) where I can disable the skid but keep the traction?

Thanks

VDIM is very tricky on the 350, I would contact the dealer!!

No, there is no combination of fuses that won't completely cripple the whole thing. Sorry, they've really tightly integrated VDIM's individual elements.
