Vdc off and slip
I have a 2004 g35 with just a little over 150000 miles on it. The other day my vdc off and slip light came on while driving and I don’t know why. Also sometimes my left passenger tire will stutter when I start driving sometimes this just started too. I have new brake pads and I don’t need brake fluid. My check engine light is not on I don’t know what to do this in my first Infiniti please help.

Sounds like it's triggering VDC on the right front for some reason. Who did the brakes and are you SURE they didn't damage the ABS sender on that wheel?
If the car thinks that tire is spinning at a different speed (damaged sensor or wrong size tire) then it's going to try to engage the ABS brakes on that tire (Vehicle Dynamic Control - VDC) which is probably that "stuttering" that you're feeling.
This system is separate from the Engine Controls systems so it will not throw the check engine light. However the VDC/SLIP lights being solid on means that system is throwing a code. Nissan can read the code with their dealership Consult-II/III tool.
Personally I would go to Nissan for a 1 hour diagnostic for a scan to find out what code is being sent, a lot quicker and cheaper than throwing a bunch of parts at the car hoping something fixes the problem.
However I would pull all 4 tires and inspect the ABS sensors.
Is there ANYTHING else the car has been doing lately that's abnormal?
