Hit a curb....

lol so true, I've done the same thing, but in a open area (thank god). Switched of the VDC and didn't think it'll make too much of a difference, I was wrong , the car did complete 360 from a standstill.....scared me ****less cause I wasn't expecting it lol , thank god no one or nothing was around or else I would have easily hit the car

Our motor mount are liquid filled and i think are pretty hardcore.
I have an X, and last time i was going in straight line and hit a patch of black ice I did a 540 into a wall lol. VDC and the AWD system bailed on me, when i stopped both lights were one lol.
I can only imagine how it would be like to drive a S hard with no VDC. X with No VDC in snow is pretty good though.

you guys really need to start turning off that VDC and getting used to controlling the car without it. It will help ALOT in an accident when you need to countersteer. go to a big empty parking lot or even a drift track and learn drifting your car. It's heavy but a pretty good drifter! I remember I entered a roundabout a little too fast once and hit a water puddle, i drifted my way out of an accident that would've really messed the car up (VDC was off). Good luck fixing the car, could've been much worse but the G took it nicely!

My G35 Journey was traded in a while back due to the poor service at Infiniti of Kirkland and the never ending quality issues. I suspect that Nissan have got the kinks ironed out in the new G37. The new beast is an IS-F. The VDIM is better dialed in and it is more predictable, I also believe that VDIM and VSC are complimentary to a good chasis design.
I would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on owning the new G37, as one of my gripes with the G35 was the poor MPG, and yes I am driving a 5.0 V8 now but here's why I am asking. On the same long run in the G35 at 14,000 miles, I managed to squeeze 26.8 MPG over 300 miles averaging about 70 mph. In the IS-F in the same rainy cold conditions on an engine that was at 1,200 miles I got 25.4 MG. Is the MPG in the real world much better on the G37 due to the 7 gears?

Good advice given. I tested my car with the VDC off in an empty parking lot and totally toasted my tires. It was so fun, I was just going in circles, but it was exhilerating! After that I knew how wild the rear could get so I only turn my VDC off when there is no median throughout the curve or turn it off at a light just to gun it. Glad you weren't hurt and got everything all fixed up!
