Is this true? VDC, TCS question
So i was on youtube, looking at some people doing burnouts and ran across this guy saying this, and i was wondering if it is true.
"Our 350Z's have a traction system that cuts power when the brake is pressed. Even with VDC or TCS (both traction control) turned off, it still cuts power. For people to do burnouts, they have to either remove the brake fuse or create an inline switch that interrupts the circuit. "
if thats the case, i guess you cant do standing burnouts in a 350z?

this has been covered in extence in a couple of previous posts. Do a search for brake boost or 101 brake mod.
In summery put a switch inline with wire 101 and you can bypass this feature when the switch breaks the circuit. When its re connects the car acts as normal.

go ahead and take a safety feature off the car just to impress your firends and waste your tires-burnouts w/ drag radials (or other tires that need heat to work better) makes sense.
-Left foot braking may also benefit from this mod.

Burnouts serve a purpose for anyone that runs at the strip.

how many more personal insults are you going to throw my way huh? i suggest you look at a few of your posts first before attempting to sling any insults. actually, save them for some n00b that might actually care what you have to say. plus this has been discussed before, are they all retards as well?https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....hlight=burnout

each of those state in there the proper techiques for doing it on a track. overall you do not need to do a big, smokey burnout for traction. those are for impressing your buddies and wasting your tires, like i said.
as for the video you linked, that is a prime example of what a properly tuned, modified Z can do at a track.
