Getting ready to sell a few things off the car. Threads with pics and prices will be up soon but wanted to give those who follow this thread a heads up in case they want some of the things!

- SEIBON Carbon TS style hood with Aerocatch hood pins
- 18" Forgestar F14 wheels with Hankook RS-3 tires (track setup) ***Looking for possible trade for stock 19" Rays + Tires***
- Password:JDM aluminum shift knob with color pack of changeable washers

And of course I still have these virtually brand new Continental Extreme Contact DW tires for sale too...

Been a while since I have updated this thread and quite frankly its because nothing has been going on with my car. I did however just edit some video from 8 months ago from the last time I took my 370Z to the track...and probably the last time I ever will...

Former track beast haha. She's not seeing another apex until she's a dedicated track car one day a long long time from now.

Not worth it with the ABS issues I keep having. Too frustrating to spend money going to the track and too much risk of damage on my daily driver with the ice mode. Down the road it will either get sold or get turned into a dedicated track car with an aftermarket dual master brake setup that completely bypasses the ABS.

To beat a dead horse.... I wonder why some folks have this issue and others don't. There have been a lot of posts on my350z about the same thing lately. Must have something to do with braking style.

Definitely does not have to do with braking style. Although I am sure it can play a role, I have tried to drive around the issue a million different ways changing my braking style, braking points, etc. I will copy and past my theory from the video thread...

"From talking with countless people, professional race teams, etc. I am subscribing to the theory that the ABS computer has parameters set for wheel speed, steering angle, g-forces, brake pressure, etc. If you exceed the parameters through a number of possible situations like too much brake pressure + too much steering angle then the ABS computer triggers ice mode as a safety measure to prevent a spin. I think the settings for the parameters are way too low for driving this car on the track. Plus I think modifying your car only makes it more likely to happen. Adding things like a limited slip differential will change the wheel speed in the rear compared to the stock VLSD. Adding things like suspension and sticky tires will mean you are capable of more lateral and braking gs. In my particular case in the video where I had the off, the mph is high, the car is turning so there is steering angle, and that combined with g-forces above what you would see on the street meant that I was probably already violating the computers parameters so as soon as I even breathed on the brakes the ABS tried to straighten the car out and because I was already at the edge of the track it was enough to put my left side tires in the dirt."

So, perhaps many aren't exceeding the parameters set in the computer. Perhaps Nissan updated the parameters further into the production as my Z is a VERY early 2009. Perhaps my specific setup allows it to be triggered more easily. All I know is that it is a VERY prevalent and intrusive problem on my car so for that reason, I am over trying to track it.

I wish you the best. Glad I've never had this issue.

I am shocked you don't with all you've done to your car. Who knows...

Thinking about this ice mode issue, could it be something that is based on the trim level of the car, and is this something that can be played with threw Consult and has anyone looked into that?

No unfortunately. I don't know the details but I have asked a buddy who is a Nissan tech and he says he can't change anything in the ABS computer he can just get in there to bleed it.

So what about running something like Racelogic traction control system and I think White Line has one as well but it might be for the 350Z, any thoughts on that?
