None have posted problems with the ECU. The fact that your research led you to believe some bs spouted off by some dude who doesn't even own a Z is telling. It tells me your research was sorely lacking in substance.
Well, that made NO sense.
If research done = switch best
If found possible solution and came to ask here = NOT PART OF THE RESEARCH?

wtf.

I'm simply trying to dig deeper to find stuff I may have no come across, which I did.

I've found all of the links you posted and that's why I was saying lack of research.

Someone tipped me that nismo was making a device to that would take the VDC 100% without having to do this switch thing.

it sounded great and I was trying to fish for someone that may know about this.

Thanks
If you are meaning Nissan MotorSports making a device for the VDC. I would of have it by now. They make very few things for the 370.


You shouldn't blacklist Chuck. He has a ton of knowledge on the Z.

Yes, that device is what I was talking about.
I don't know what I don't know. I've only owned my 370Z for 3 weeks.

I've barely had time to play with it cuz of work.
I don't understand why people get so offended when someone in the community doesn't know something that to them it's obvious because they've known this for a while. AT SOME POINT, YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS.

If I'm going to get attacked on DUMB grounds, I don't care who you are. I'm black listing you.
If I get attacked with reason and I understand I mess up, then I own up to it and be thankful for the correction.

Behavior like that shouldn't be allowed. But what do I know.

Thank you.

Yes, mine is a 20-22ga. Green wire; I used 14ga.red from power source & orange back to the sensor side.
3rd prong on switch is for a ground/ but that would cause switch to stay illuminated all the time, unless I kept it in drift mode.
Also moved my hazard switch to rt. Side of. Console.
Hopefully you'll figure it out; cause doughnuts etc...no issues at all.

Thanks so much for sharing!
Unfortunately I've decided to unhook the VDC from the yaw sensor switch instead of making a switch because I'm WELDING THE DIFFERENTIAL and there's no point on keeping the VDC at this point.

Just in case you're wondering, I've changed my mind recently when I found out that the VLSD is actually not as steady as one would think for drifting, thus giving me no option but to weld it. In previous research I had been informed the VLSD would be enough for drifting. Bad info.

Thank you!

I would listen and learn from the guys you are seemingly disparaging. They are knowledgeable longstanding members on the Forum and you would do well to learn from their experience as I have.
