Until you have all the handling upgrades done and plan on going sideways please don't. Our car is very heavy and the way shift isn't exactly the greatest. If you're an experienced driver sure, if you are just a bone head and doesn't really know why you wanna turn off the VDC for, please, save the news paper some space for some better news than how you crashed into a pull.

 

lawl

sedans drift just fine

 

don't quote me on this.. but i feel like turning it off wears out one of the rear tire faster..
i think it was passenger left or something...
i used to turn it off the first 2 years i had this car.. but now i dont give a damn..

 

Hmmm... thats funny. Both of mine wear out extremely fast with no VDC. BFG KDWs are cheap anyways.....

 

I only turn it off if I want to have a little fun but its almost always on. I think learning to push the car almost to the point of the VDC activating has better taught me how it handles and how to handle it with it off, if that makes sense.

 

Mine is off all of the time. As long as you know how to drive a RWD car you will have no problems. I suggest throwing on a cheap set of rear tires and push your car beyond its limits in an empty/secluded parking lot. You will eventually be able to feel when the car is/will break traction and get used to proper counter steering when the *** end kicks out.

 

start car, vdc off, seat belt on. Past 3yrs.
then again I have n X. awd never spins

Why in the world would you turn it off? It's trying to save you from yourself.

Stop driving like Senna on the street and the problem will solve itself.

 

Even when driving mellow, there's a curvy offramp by my pad that trips the vdc.

 

I've been drivin RWD cars for over 20yrs. When vdc and whatever they call the other skid controls on other cars came out, I never liked it. Although, the Infiniti vdc seems to be the worst vdc out of cars I have driven. Anti lock brakes are pretty nice though..

 

Mine turns on when I go across white walk strips in the road when its NOT raining. Its way too restrictive in Infinitis

Antilock brakes... hate that too... Id rather pump the brakes

 

I guess my X the just sticks to the road better. I've never had an offramp make the VDC kick in...except in the winter. Then again I drive on most of offramps at 50km/hr like I am supposed to (until it starts to straighten out)
There is still no sensible reason to turn off VDS in daily driving, IMO. (unless you are stuck in something like mud or snow)

 

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT!

 

shouldn't be driving PERIOD

 

VDC isn't just traction control, but also corner application of brakes in order to maintain stability and forward tracking. You can get into a situation on the street very quickly where countersteer and throttle will not help. On a track, you've got miles of pavement to save yourself. On the street, you may have 12'.
