How many hours was that high performance driving class?

I had three 300zx Z32s before getting the Nismo 370z...there's no such thing as VDC.

I can romp around in my 600hp 300zx TT (sans VDC) and still haven't had an accident. These accidents come from driver error or adverse conditions...typically the former.

Glad you're not injured...car's can be fixed or replaced. Just be careful until you get to know your Z.

I had a BMW M3 with mods and a lot more power prior to the 370z. I took it to a car control clinic and had a blast. As I was getting ready to take my turn on the throttle steering exercise, I reached to turn off the nanny function (VDC by another acronym). The instructor said I didn't need to because the stability control would allow plenty of aggressive driving before it kicked in. Sure enough both me and the instructor took several turns at throttle steering at pretty aggressive pace and I never felt the nanny kick in. So I'm a little skeptical when some one says, "I crashed my car, VDC was off," as if that was the only variable preventing a mangled machine. Maybe saying "crashed my car, my brain was disengaged" would be more accurate.

I remember both on the my350 and IS300 forums every week, reading about an accident in the rain without the vdc on.

My 3 guesses.

1) Came in too fast, jumped off the gas, unsettled the rear, swung around and went over the curb.

2) Cooked the corner, understeered into and over the the curb.

3) Came around a corner too fast, rear slid out, he freaked out and counter steered waaaay too much, swung out the other way and hopped over the curve.

Or just lost it accelerating in a straight line...

Anyways, my guess would be making a left turn onto the access road at a good clip, a little too much throttle on exit... he tries to correct but the back end swings around and the car makes a half spin to the left, the right rear making contact with the curb first.

OR a failed attempt at a drift. You know how all the kids are out trying to drift these days!

Other than that, hope you get it fixed like new.

Learn car control, or don't push the button..

AGAIN, another one!!!!

Hope he is OK.

But the freaking insurance is going to go off the roof with all these 370s accidents.

roplusbee · 02-22-2010, 11:03 PM

Damn. Another one down????? These guys have got to calm down. I haven't even picked mine up yet and I'm nervous now. Not because of lack of skill, but because some knucklehead may be goofing off and wreck into me. Maybe I'll just keep it in the garage, lol.
