Isn't the "ABS fuse" also the same fuse for other systems? Like VVEL or something?

I don't know - I'm asking!

Project Mu ebrake pads will solve that, and the Nissan ABS system is a nightmare with it's Electronic Brake Distribution. In the 350z this was easily solved by pulling the yaw sensor which allowed you to keep ABS but permanently disabled VDC and EBD. I can't comment if this works in the 370z, but one would assume it's the same system.

if you look closer though, the lexus they throw in there is an automatic. if you can give points back the the z, you could probably give some points to the is-f if it had a handbrake

cool article...im still keeping VDC on though.

cool to see that we were right behind cars in a higher price/performance bracket.

looks like fun. too bad we dont get to drift on public roads... even before that, people crash without stability control.lol

I find articles like this an oddity. The drivers are complaining about vehicles being too well balanced? Brakes and stability control are too good? Interesting...

Good thing the fastest way through a corner is the straightest line, not a drift. I would take their complaints as compliments in real racing.
