ditto. I have the same reflex..

That said, the car will ALWAYS keep some VDC functions alive even if it is turned Off... Try it on a circuit and you will feel the VDC kicking in at the limit (meanly on uneven pavement).

Seems an unfortunate trend for people to treat the throttle like an On/Off switch. Learn and practice driving smoothly (doesn't mean you can't be aggressive) and VDC is just along for the ride. It won't trigger if your car control skills are good and your technique is smooth. I never took mine off, and never felt it was intrusive even playing hard in the mountains, but I don't drive like an a$$ everyday on the street either..

If i was an avid street racer, i would never leave it on. You never know when a challenge comes knocking, and its easy to forget VDC is on. But that would only be if i was a street racer, and we do not condone such activities here on this site :icon23:

Same thing here. I think I maybe have felt it kick in a half dozen times, and most of that was in snow.

FWIW I tested VDC in the mud today. Works pretty well. :)

I doubt the Nismo is that much different from another 6MT, but if its even a little wet, VDC triggers quite easily. Maybe its the Advans, the stiff clutch, the crazy stiff suspension, the extra HP or maybe its just my lead foot ;)

It seems the VDC in my Nismo triggers easily as well and I don't think I drive to aggressive.

To me, this question seems like that trap question, "Do these pants make my butt look big?" And the evil side of me always wants to answer, "No, your butt was already big."

So, does VDC make you a worse driver? No, you fail at driving with or without electronic assistance. :tup: :rofl2:

I keep reading these VDC threads but am curious, are there any comparison videos out there that show the feel of VDC off vs. on from the interior and some shot from the exterior?

(I haven't searched yet)
