I have been doing okay with the annoying light flashing, but is it actually robbing power off the turns?

It only blinks, there is no control once you turn it off, hence people doing doughnuts and whatnot.

Also, a better option for disabling it permanently is to buy a reverse module someone on the board sells. So, when you start up the car, it's off, and you have to push the button to turn it on. Much safer than pulling fuses that kill your airbag.

.

If it is blinking it is active. If VDC is turned off the slip light will only blink and activate when there is a large differential wheel spin. It doesn't cut power but it does pulse the brake on the corner with the highest wheel spin. Most people don't notice it because the slow down is slight, i.e. if your wheel is really spinning that bad it really isn't propelling you forwards any.

It happens to me on track with cold race tires coming out of medium speed corners (70-80 mph). It doesn't really bother my situation but I could see it being a problem in a competitive style drift scenario.

all you have to do is unplug the bosch connector under the e-brake and no vdc or slip light. you can also wire a switch to it so you dont have to plug it in and unplug it everytime you want it off.

Bringing back an older thread lol. Im not totally impressed without the whole traction control system in the car. Normally u have on, then a semi off, and then everything off (<= very scientifical lol) Seems like we can't turn everything off with out pulling a fuse or relay. What gives Nissan!!!! You absolutely can feel traction control or what ever it is kick in while tring to drift of slide. I can't drift the car for crap compaired to my firebird. Plus the stock LSD is not much better than an open rear.

Do u guys need pics on how to wire a switch to the Bosch sensor so it turns off everything? I have no problem drifting till the tires are gone. Just get a switch of your choice and some wire and it can be done in 30 min or less and u can disable when u want. I never have it on unless it's raining. Makes the car a lot more fun and u don't have push a button everytime u start the damn car.
