Yes, I know. It kept me on the road several times before I got used to the way the car handled, but really don't need it anymore. If the roads are drenched however then I'll keep it on, mainly because it never rains out here and I don't have much experience driving on a wet surface.

 

I love how these VDC posts alwasy turn into a pro VDC vs anti VDC. If youre a dumbsh;t who just started driving or have never driven a RWD car before you should prob keep it on for a while. Otherwise turning it off isnt going to kill a gaggle of school children like everyone thinks.

There's no reason to do so on the street. Seriously.

Track? Knock yourself out. It'll make you a decent driver.

Street? Just leave it on.

 

^ yep.
I read between the lines of the OP where he says, "Been driving my g35 for about 2 weeks now and I anxious to turn my vdc off and see what she's made of, but before I do so I was wondering who drives with it off daily and will it eventually harm your car."
There is no mention of going to the track so I assume he's going to 'see what she's made of' on the streets somewhere.
There have been a couple of, not so wise, suggestions here, IMO

 

Thanks mom.....

I (and a lot people on here) didnt buy a 300 hp RWD luxury sport not to have a little fun in it.

 

Then get your jollies at a track with the VDC off instead of the street. Other people may not want to participate in your fun lol.

 

I drove my 430 RWHP / 508 ft lbs torque Ford Lightning without any factory traction control. Pretty sure I can handle this little 280 hp car.

 

Exactly.. Ive had RWD/4WD trucks and SUVs. Some people just arent smart enuf to handle a lot of power to a RWD vehicle. Never had VDC or any kind of throttle limiter on any other vehicle... Im still alive and never had any close calls. Common sense and knowing your vehicles limitations is what it boils down to

And the comment about the X never engaging the VDC... ya think? Its a little different when the coupes dont have AWD

 

You're missing the point. Skill has nothing to do with it ( I have no idea how experience in trucks and SUVs helps your cause either ).

The car is faster than you. If you happen to enter a compromising situation on the street, which normally does not occur on the track ( IE: sudden standing water, gravel, sudden traffic, absolutely poor road conditions which are common here in TX, or any number of problems ) you may not have enough room to save yourself from an accident, regardless of skill level.

TCS is a throttle limiter, and many of those actually are quite annoying. But VDC will most likely save you in a bad situation.

The G35 is a pig of a car anyway, so there's no real point. It can barely get out of its own way.

OP, I still recommend leaving the VDC on, at least on the street.

 

Off topic but is there a way to reverse the switch so vdc stays off?

I hate having to get in n reach down everyone thinks im cutting on the nitrous when they ride with me.

 

Believe me when I say if I wanted the VDC to engage I could easily make it happen. There is no reason for it. How do you know what G the OP has? Coupe, Sedan, X...he never said.
I have also driven plenty of rear wheel drive cars in my 30 years driving.
None of what you guys are saying actually supports a reason to tell the OP its fine/safe/ok (or whatever) for him to turn it off. You maybe confident in your driving skills but the mere fact that he even had to ask should be a clue as to his level of confidence.

 

Yes, I believe there is a module made by kpelectronics...try a search for them

 

awesome might have to buy this

 

NO!!!! Dont do it... You'll kill yourself or a bus full of 3rd graders if its always disabled!!!!! Only at the track if there's no other cars on the track and no spectators in the stands!!!!
