shutting off traction control

Agreed. Pretty clear the OP was referring to turning VDC off for AutoX, in which case we should be praising him for taking the car to the proper venue.

It's not like he came in saying, "yo dawgz, me 'n my boyz wanna go driftin' but I can't get my driftz on coz thars lyke 10% TC on evn when I turn VDC off whats up?"

Good luck and have fun!! Try running the car once or twice with the VDC on, probably give you some insight as to where to slow down. Smooth=Fast. Enjoy!

Well, if the OP had RTFM'd...he'd know the answer.

I wouldn't suggest someone to RTFM, if I hadn't read it myself. Read it the first night after bringing it home. Most of it is simple crap like how to use your seatbelt properly...which you can easily skim over that junk, unless you need a refresher.

Same with my Frontier.
