Sorry for the newbie question, but i was wondering how VDC operates in X models ( I have a 2007 G35X)

At times when I lose traction the slip light flashes before the car hooks up again and goes, basically almost no electronic intervention as far as i can tell. Other times I get a fairly pronounced cut in fuel/power and it takes a second or more to start accelerating again. What is the VDC system supposed to do and what happens when you lose traction? As I understand it the car is 100% rear wheel drive in anything above first gear, but automatically sends torque to the front when slip is detected?Is fuel cut when all 4 spin?

Does turning off VDC disable slip detection?

VDC and SLIP are two different systems.

VDC monitors yaw and wheel speed sensors comparison (against itself), electronically distributes torque to the front up to 50% based on the amount of wheel slip and engine torque, fully electronic control, Nissan ATTESA system.

SLIP monitor wheel speed sensors and will cut engine output (throttle by wire, all calculations and controls are handled by the ECU) when it detects wheel slip.

The two work independent of one another, effective in any gear at any speed, there is a delay on SLIP but VDC adjustments are on a 1/100'th second algorithm with an almost unnoticeable delay from solenoid actuation. The vehicle always tries to bias 100% torque to the rear at any speed in any gear.

Fairly sure my 07 is always AWD in first. I can feel that electro magnetic thingy engage/disengage before it shifts into second.
