Do you guys drive with the VDC ON/OFF and why? What differences do you guys feel when driving with it on/off.

shoopajae10 · 11-17-2010, 01:05 PM

This has been discussed many times before...

But, I leave it on for daily driving. =)

I sometimes get a slippy light when I accelerate quickly. It seems so unsafe that I can't get full power when I cut off oncoming traffic. Also, it gives me problems when I try to do burnouts and drift on the city streets. What a stupid feature for Nissan to include.

You may thing that spearfish is joking, but those are the reasons why I drive with it off most the time...

Oh nos - just remember to turn it off JUST in between shifts for smoother shifts... Thats what I do when im raccinnnggg!!!

Its easy if you time your clutch pedal and your left hand together - one kicks the clutch in - left hand turns off VDC and when you come off the clutch - turn that bad boy back on!

I bet the pickup truck in Predator that was powering the rebel camp didn't have VDC. Once Arnold set it loose, that bitch just took off. More likely a Toyota than a Nissan.

hahaha to put the WHOOLLLE forum full of info onto one post... and to answer ur question.

most ppl keep it on. the 370z's vdc is probably one of the more "transparent" types. When cornering it doesn't feel like ur engine has no power. it feels pretty good actually, it feels like u are doing all the driving even though vdc is helping.

honestly i think most NORMAL drivers would probably be just as fast with vdc on as opposed to off.

but anyways, we on this forum have seen our fair share of wrecked Zs from vdc off in tricky conditions. most of us keep it on for daily driving and off at a track.

In a straight line it can give you more power, assuming you don't drop the clutch and spin your tires. But IMHO, leave it on unless you want to wreck your Z. And never turn it off in the rain/winter...
