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

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.

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
