whats up, you guys must think this is crazy, but its true, i was on the highway today going to the mall in my 350z, there was a thunderstorm today in town and while i was driving to the mall, I was switching lanes and my car started slipping crazy. I dont know what went wrong with the traction, but the car slipped right and then left I was luckily in the left lane and there was a shoulder, i was slipping on the left lane, going sideways on the highway, i looked to my right and all i saw was headlights. Luckily behind me was my friend in his g35 coupe, he slowed the traffic down so that no1 hit my car, me and my car are fine, but im going to take it 2 the dealer, whats up with the traction, it didn't come into play at all. Hopefully nothing else went wrong, such as suspension etc. so i did a 360 with my 350.

 

hrmm.....360z

Glad to hear you're ok

Also on the new car market, along with the 360z, happens to be the GT-R Eclipse GS. I saw one on US-1 between Pinecrest and South Miami. Badass huh...I wonder what would happen in a race between the GT-R Eclipse and the 360z?? :P

 

Sounds like you hydroplaned. I did the same thing once in Grand Am I used to have, did a slow 360 on the freeway and ended up looking at oncoming traffic. I bounced off the center guardrail and slid across all four lanes of traffic without hitting anybody. I ended up in the median, and was able to drive away after I stopped shaking!!

No traction control, etc. can really do much good in a bad case of hydroplaning.

 

Hydroplaning.....just another reason to keep my Z inside on rainy days.

 

245s aint the best for wet weather, or snow... and in the case of the stockers your best to keep it inside when its below 90degrees or theres a cloud in the sky.

what model do you have? VDC should have atleast attmepted to correct the spin, TCS would have known something is wrong, but it wouldnt have helped.

also something Ive thought about, when hydroplaning its not good to hit the brakes. which is exactly what the VDC wants to do. could cause some problems perhaps.

 

Hey, this is really close to my neighborhood ... where'd you pick your car up at? What dealer?

 

Glad yer okay!! Curious though ... how fast were you going ?
