Q: Vdc
 

if i turn the VDC off do i make more power? or more launch?

VDC stands for Vehicle Dynamic Control, and it is kind of an automatic stability control system.

If turned off, you can be more free from that stability restraint. It might work for you to make better drifts.

Except for if you have a base model, the open differential will make drifting pretty challenging. My idea is this is why we have had "VDC off I crashed threads" in the past. People don't consider what the diff does until its too late or just don't learn. My base has an open differential and until I trade for a Nismo or upgrade the diff, my VDC stays ON. Its saved my butt a few times already.

Thanks. I did not know about that danger owning a Sport trim.

he was saying the base model is more dangers with the open diff. if using VDC off.

IMO the sport and Nismo will be much better with the LSD diff although it is also "upgradeable" to something better even......

There is a description of how it's supposed to work in the FSM.

This may help.

Good info!
 

Meaning the U Tube above.
So the base Sport model, with AT, has the LSD? Correct?
What is the axel ratio for the Automatic Trans?

If I remember the AT is 3.73 and the MT is 3.91 on the nismo.

There is a Base, a Sport, and a Nismo model. Not a Base Sport. Although I believe they have renamed the Base model the "Enthusiasts" model.

I knew the difference between those base and sport trims that a sport one is equipped with VLSD which is not included in a base by default.

I just didn't know that turning off the VDC on base trim would be liable to occur that possible danger while making drifts.

:o

"drifting" hence a controlled slide would probably work best when both wheels spin. An "open" diff is basically a "one tire fire". I would assume a drift with one tire spinning a lot faster than the other would be difficult.

Its always the friend..... :bowrofl:

Don't EVER touch that button

The base Z without VDC enabled will just spin a wheel if you give it gas. i think its pretty safe because you will end up not going anywhere. Not having traction control and having wheels that lock ( LSD ) is when you will find yourself in trouble. This could cause a spin if you are not prepared.

With all that said the Z, especially the base with the 225 size front tires, is more dangerous with all that understeer.

side-note; all the Z examples that blew up or crashed were sport versions :)

It's the instant panty drop button.

I've got a 'Sport' version.

Turned the VDC off a few months ago and never looked back.

Then again, I grew up driving 1970's 911's:tup:

VDC= Vagina Drenching Control.

Considering those cars used to actively try to kill their owners, the Z must feel like a video game. The worst deathtrap I've ever been in was a 1970 911.:eek:

Never had an issue turning of VDC. The only problem I had was on the Dragon doing the one wheel wonder due to the sorry VLSD. I turned it off in the wet on Saturday morning. It is not a self destruct button. Never had any issues before without any nannies with my 1990 300ttz or any of my other Z's.
