Nismo Accident Pics -- Very Sad

TreyUT · 02-22-2010, 04:18 PM

Ouch....sorry about your sweet ride. VDC is there for a reason. The rear does get a little bit squirly with VDC off. Hopefully she will be back in commission in no time. What part of texas?

I can't stress how important it is to get driving lessons on these cars. So many people disrespect the power of sports cars in general. I am glad no one was hurt. Spending the money on lessons is a good investment, also lets you know your limits with your car.
Just my .02

looks like juan05's.

This is why I'm hesitant to turn it off on public streets.

So lets hear the full story. Looks like it's dry as a bone outside in those pics. I find my car pretty easy to keep in a straight line when it's dry.

so you turned off VDC and were driving down a strait road and the back end got away from you on dry pavement?

That looks like a highway access road -- perhaps I35 near Austin, TX. Perhaps the spin happened after a right or left turn onto the access road. So he could have been turning onto the access road at the speed limit, then goosed it to get up to the access road speed of 50 mph. No VDC and perhaps a spot of wet pavement near the intersection could easily cause a spin if you slam the pedal to get to 50 from 25 in second gear.

Since he said his right rear tire hit the curb, I'm guessing this happened after a left turn onto the access road? Am I getting warm?

What's the story man, how'd you do it?

shoopajae10 · 02-22-2010, 05:47 PM

glad you're okay.

Yes it's very sad when you turn off a safety feature that was designed to(sometimes) prevent loss of control! That could prevent you from wrecking, or killing some one!

What is up with people turning off the safeguards on normal roads.

seriously

If you know how to control/handle the car, there is nothing wrong with turning off VDC. With VDC on, it holds the car back, even when punching the throttle on dry pavement in a straight line. With VDC off, it's like unleashing the car and being able to use all of the performance that the Z has to offer - if you know how to use it!
