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..

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
