Does "Ice mode" occur on base model 350Z's?
I've been tracking my base model for about 4 years now and have not encountered "Ice Mode". I have run the stock single piston calipers and the Brembos. I am not sure if it indeed does have to do with the VDC and all that or not. My ABS works fine and kicks in when you would expect it to. I am on my 2nd ABS module too.
I thought I hit ICE mode as well (Look at video above) but looking at my data and watching my video a hundred times I realized it wasnt ice mode as my car was slowing down, I just carried too much speed into braking zone, and my stiff pedal was probably just ABS. My initial thought was ICE since I hear about it 24/7. At this point I believe it wasn't ICE mode but ill never know. I didnt have any problems slowing down for T1 at Thunderhill Raceway Park (130ishMPH braking zone)
Car didn't have a single problem after that too.
Went to the track with my square set up RS3 tires recently. I had no issues with "ICE" mode at all. There were a few other Z's in attendance that were heavily modified. I spoke to the drivers and they had never experienced "ICE" mode ever.
Here's my second fastest lap of the day. I know I am taking the wrong line at different parts of the track and short shifting as well but it my second track day ever so I don't think I did too horribly.
