do i have to be in park to turn it off or can i be in drive and cruisin, or do i have to be in drive and stopped?

also theres only one button that i see, its on the left side of the steering wheel, i believe it says traction control on it, my cars in teh garage right now. but im sure theres only one button. the car is canadian btw

Yes, with VDC off, you're someday going to get yourself into trouble.

I don't know how the 350z is with the traction control off or if it doesn't have enough power to get people into *too* much trouble, but the 370z is a disaster waiting to happen if you drive spirited with it off on public roads. Just sayin.

You can turn it on or off while driving. And yes, it's just the button on the left side of the wheel that you should never push unless you are on a closed course.

Please Speak for yourself. There's plenty people who know how to drive. My skills will save me. Tired of seeing these reactions to people who choose to turn VDC off. Plenty of cases where VDC on didn't help there under ability to drive and maintain there car in a careless act.
