It spins a good deal in the rain, lol (1 tire fire). It freaked me out the first time I entered a corner a bit too fast in it. Normally I would just blip the throttle and bring the rear around. Blipping the throttle in this just made things worse. It's a fun little weed-whacker, but I miss my RWD V8's.

The G20 gets great traction--until it doesn't, then the front end just pushes and I guess you reach for the hand-brake. It's totally counter to what I learned to drive with. Real cars you just goose the throttle or roll into it, as situation dictates, and the rear-end snaps on around and you slide through the corner.

It does bore the heck out of me though. I have to have a sick reaction time off a light if I am going to grab a lane, rather than relying on brute force to get the lane whenever I want it. Driving this car sucks. It's starting to feel kinda peppy to me, and that's not good. It's even turning out to be a shitty daily. I should have bought a civic, but I wanted out of my WS6 ASAP and this was what I found and I didn't know about all of Nissan's QC/design issues with this model.

dude..i still can't believe you got rid of your ws6 for the g20..i love g20's, i feel they make a very nice DD..but damn man, ws6 was one of my dream cars growing up..LS1 for the win! haha...but hey, in all seriousness, do you miss it at all?

bottem line its cold.. slowly build upo your speed

Do a warm up lap before heading out and you'll be fine.... :):)

i can see it now vids of some crazy Z on youtube lol

yah, at sub-35F im not sure how much warmer the tires can get... i think best to get tires made for colder weather.

$$$

gotta pay if you want to play... :ugh2:

This guy knows how its done:

I would NOT park my white Z there!:shakes head:

Nonetheless, his tires did appear to warm up nicely.

There is no amount of street driving that you can do in 35F weather to get your tires 'warm' (meaning what you'd consider warm after a few laps at the track). Even if you did a burnout to smoke the tires before driving off, your front tires will still be cold and the rear tires will cool off quickly on the cold ground.

I hope you didn't think I was serious.

+1....VDC off....Mine is off all the time (as with my previous G35 6MT). I have no problem with it off and enjoy the car with it off. Keeps the VDC "bucking" away! :tup:

especially on my G35C i keep VDC off in these temps because the thing just overreacts (old software probably) and intrusive when i make a quick turn.

even with the VDC turned off it's still active for off-throttle drifts. it's werd. like it will automatically correct yaw if i purposely let off throttle during mid-turn to make the tail slip out. i guess it's a good thing for cold tires.

umm, not to be a dueche but maybe ease onto the throttle more ? VDC also comes on for me on random weird occasions when I really do not think the tires would of broken lose if it were off.. You just need to get used to the car and its cold weather habits and you will get used to and avoid these instances.

VLSD will not do anything significant as far as helping you not spin in your situation but I would suggest getting it for plenty of other reason... a true LSD is even better but not necessary.. Summer tires just dont like the cold weather , thats all.. 60 isnt really all that cold but still that wouldnt happen in 70+ degrees.
