Vdc 2001 V35 Sedan

[Kolossus]

Hey guys I have tried searching the internet for an answer to this but have been incapable of finding an answer so here goes, does the 2001 V35 sedan have a vdc button/switch or does it not as i have not seen one in mine (i haven't been trying to hard to find it as to save my 20 inch tyres from certain doom) my sedan is a 300GT as opposed to a 350GT would this be the reason for one not being there??

From my recollection the 300GT (and 250GT) did not come with VDC. Only the 350GT-8 and possibly the 350GT 6spd. The 300GT may have traction control only?

Even the Series 2 V35 sedans only featured VDC in the 350GT-8 while the standard auto only had traction control. Little bit strange I thought, along with the decision to make only front airbags standard in the sedans when curtain and sides are standard fare in the coupes. Even the V36 sedans only have front airbags standard which to me is a big turn off for a car costing decent dough

Ah ok, but let me guess... no traction control switch/button is there?? ( also i was just under the impression that VDC was nissans way of saying traction control at the time obviously i was mistaken haha)

Traction control and VDC are 2 different things, although a lot of people confuse the 2 terms.

Hey guys..

I hav a got a 2001 300GT recently...n i was wondering if it has VDC or not....

also if traction control helps during rain n all...coz recently my car slipped during rain...

If not then can VDC be fitted in my car? to make it more stable?...

there is a switch which says PWR/ /SNOW ...is it of any help?

thanks

^I've never heard of VDC being retrofitted. I imagine it would be incredibly complex and expensive if possible. You're talking about sensors on each wheel of the car, ECU programming etc. Probably cheaper to buy a car that has it already...

The snow button is literally for driving in the snow. I believe turning it on changes the engine mapping and power delivery to suit such conditions, although I have read it is certainly not recommendable to turn it on in normal circumstances. Call me boring but I've never had the urge to flick the snow switch in my coupe.
