Does the VDC engage (light up) when anyone shifts from 1st to 2nd in here?
No it doesn't, and you are 100% right, but if u look at other car forums (G35driver) you will notice that posts saying VDC off gives your smooth shifts 24/7. (And I have tried this in a porsche 911 as well, traction control off, and the shifts were smoother), for a reason not known to me the shifts in the 6mt are smoother when VDC is off, as you 'feel' for the throttle and clutch to get that smooth shift without the "roughness". As I mentioned previously I turn mine off 24/7 (G35 and 370z)
