I've had 2 Nissans in the past w/ VDC or TCS. I've used them in autoX and at track days and in every case it was always better to turn the VDC/TCS off. I don't think I know any car where the electronic safeties makes for a faster laps/run time w/ a capable driver.nader said:Planning on attending the local autocross this weekend and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on turning off the stability control.

But I really want to know about this prototype coilover and rear sway bar you're testing... Better than the Tein setup which is somewhat limited in ride height adjustment and bump travel? Spill the beans, man!nader said:I'm testing a prototype coilover and rear sway bar
Too late to be of any good now, but isn't that what the "VDC" button does? Turn off stability control but retain traction control?nader said:Planning on attending the local autocross this weekend and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on turning off the stability control.
It seems like it may be the panic braking issue that you encountered in autoX. I brake hard into the corner, trail brake into it slightly and attempt to get on the power to balance it through the corner. At times it feels like the power is off and/or brakes are still holding. VDC is off when I attempt it so the light is already on prior to attempting the corner.nader said:Take a glance at the dash next time and there will be a flashing yellow light in the upper right hand corner of the instrument cluster if it is engaging. When the ESP kicks all power is lost until the car regains it's composure. You may hear touch of ABS kicking in too bring things back in line.
