Push button disable VDIM? Perhaps
Read at your own risk and IF I build a circuit that disables VDIM with a button push at start up, clearly you are on your own and I am not responsible for anything you do!!!
Anyway, because the E-brake and foot brake are on off switches it seems it would be pretty easy to build a circuit to mimic the pedal dance needed to disable VDIM for one drive interval. I've made other timing circuits one of which is DRL switchback for the street bike. If I do this, I'll toss a schematic and part list up. It should be relatively non invasive. Power on with ignition, a ground, and two taps for the brake systems.
I'll keep you posted as I dig into the solution.

Sorry, are you referring to the Pedal dance that disables all traction control?
I did the dance and gave the car a caning, with the open diff it was still kinda boring.
I wish they put a tighter LSD in it that would let me throw the car around a lot more on the track.

Stupid system is annoyingly aggressive. Cross braking over a simple turn in the road. But ya, I need more facts but I'm looking for a donner 3rd member w 4.08 gears and I'll toss an LSD in there to minimize down time.
Just curious if there is a desire for a push button solution.

FYI on all 2IS years except for 2006 you can fully disable traction control and VDIM by holding the TRAC OFF button (next to the ECT PWR switch) for about 5 seconds when the car is not moving and it will stay off until you turn the car off. There will be two separate orange lights on the dash once you have held it long enough. You can also swap a used part pulled from a 2007+ car to a 2006 car for around $150 to gain this functionality if desired.
Also something similar has been discussed here but never implemented as far as I know: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-2nd-gen-2006-2013/784817-traction-control-off-by-default-is-this-possible.html#post9040743

Thanks guys... I've done a bit cross compatible checks. The bearings, spacers, input/output yokes and stuff all seem to be the same. The LSD: 41301-53051 is used in:
IS-F, RC-F, RC350, 300, 200T, LS460... If it does fit, perhaps there are other options out there for less cash??
But I haven't found for 100% certain it drops into our 350 housing.... More reading to do.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-2nd-gen-2006-2013/747848-is350-limited-slip-diff-options.html, but I would leave it in the ISF housing if possible since it has more cooling fins according to this post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f-2008-2014/835457-rc-f-differential-into-is-f-3.html#post9650588
P.S. Welcome to the limited slip differential rabbit hole
