im yet to master VDC controlling... i try skid with it, yet sometimes it has a MAD kickback... dam electrics.

i have tried holding vdc in for 10seconds and cycling the key, seems to be successful?

either that or i don't lose control as much therefore it doesn't kick in... it mainly kicks in when you rather "out there"/losing it?

otherwise, use the brake more, it seems to agree with it then.

turning off/on.

xscape... you've never had traction kick in?

maybe something to do with my wheels.

but ive had mine off doing rather quick mountain runs and it still kicks in on occasion... plus ive been sliding it it for it to kick in. and stay on once too.

mine only ever kicks in if i get some under steer . but just wanted to check if there was any options i could try when i was there if i had any issues

LSD makes a massive differnce to how it works from what iv read.. the open diff models seem pretty dangerous

A quick press of the VDC button turns traction control OFF from 0-60 kph. The VDC OFF indicator light will turn on.

VDC will automatically switch itself back on (regardless if the VDC OFF light is on) after you reach speeds 60 kph and beyond.

Pressing the VDC button for 3 or more seconds will switch it off completely (I usually count to 8 just to make sure).

The VDC OFF indicator light will turn on. I have taken the car on the track with this setting.

Pressing the VDC button for more than 10 seconds will turn the VDC OFF indicator LIGHT OFF and it will remain OFF (you can't turn it back on just by pressing the VDC button again where in the other settings you can) until you turn the car Off then On again. I dont know what this setting does but I have tried launching the car hard on this setting and the traction control kicked in so I dont know it's purpose.

Hey guys i had a VDC issue last night when doing some spireted driving on a sweeping right hand corner very long corner also going up hill, i had the car at the point where the traction control had just kicked in and the slip light was flicking on and off, and then half way through the corner the VDC turned its self off all togeather, the VDC off light came on and the slip light stayed on, i didnt hit the button at all and i couldnt turn it back on untill i turned the car off and back on and it turned its self back on at that point also. Is this a normal cut off for the V or should i have it looked at as i dont want it to turn off on me when i need it.

P.S i dont drive like a wanker ether my car is making a noise when turning left was trying to get it to do it for a mechanical friend to get his opinion on what it was.

I learnt something interesting about the VDC the other day (you guys may already know of this...) I had a wheel alignment and they guys adjusted the toe so that the steering wheel was straightened (it had been a little off since i'd got the car). My VDC had never given me any drama before, I'd even driven it on the track and if I wasn't pushing super super hard, it wouldn't kick in anywhere, even with it still switched on.

But after the wheel alignment, it was kicking in ALOT even under normal driving. It was actually making it dangerous as it would start braking wheels when it really shouldn't have been.

After alot of research I finally found somewhere that mentioned you have to take the car into Nissan and get them to do some precedure that tells the computer where 'straight ahead' is again. I did this and it is now much better. Still not quite as lenient as it was before, but a huge improvement as now it only kicks in under quite spirited driving.

Just thought I'd add this in here as it may help some people with VDC issues similar to what I experienced after the wheel alignment.

And the really annoying part is it must be done by Nissan. Where as the same adjustment in the J31 Maxima can be done without Consult, using a series of switch presses and key turns.

I am about to get a wheel alignment done on mine after replacing the compression rod bushings, hopefully I won't need to go to Nissan and pay them $35 to plug in a consult unit and press 'reset' in the right spot..

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
