Hey guys I tried to use search (help me if I missed it) but I was wondering If anyone has figured out a way to bypass the VDC so that it is *always* off... I am installing a Vortech SC and don't want it cutting fuel if I forget to push the darn button. My fear is that I will forget to turn it off and romp on it one day and..... yeah.

Any help or a swift *kick* in the right direction would help.

Thanks

Technically aren't TCS and VDC different?
Because of how they operate?

 

Pretty sure VDC cuts throttle, not fuel, so it won't blow up your engine if it's on.

 

^ thanks but...
The dealer I bought my Vortech from warned me that it does cut fuel to cylinders 1 and 2.

Is that wrong? anyone want to pitch in

 

Nothing will hold back your mad horsepower.
Not VCD.
Not TCS.
Not BBS
Not Superman!

 

true, can't stop won't stop!

 

wow.

an entire forum full of knowledge and people/dealers are still this ignorant.

The only fuel cut is when u hit the rev limiter. Doesnt matter if you a 100 or 1000 hp.

 

1) You can switch it off "permanantly" with the KP Technologies box. It stayd off till you turn it back on.

2) As you should have read in the other thread, the only way to truly disable it is to pull the connector to the box in the center console.


I can only imagine the emotional effects of your irrational fear of forgetting to turn it off. You must be a emotional wreck. Perhaps professional help is in order.

 

From the Nissan system description of VDC and tCS:


VDC Function
In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected from the steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of understeering / over-steering) is determined from information from the yaw rate sensor/side G sensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.
The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
During VDC operation, the body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is normal.
The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when the vehicle is subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is on a turn table or a ship while the engine is running. In this case, restart the engine on a normal road, and if the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no problem.

TCS Function
The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by the VDC/TCS/ABS control unit from the wheel speed signals from the four wheels, so if wheel spin occurs, the rear wheel right and left brake fluid pressure control and engine fuel cut are conducted while the throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine torque and decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the degree the throttle is opened is controlled to achieve the optimum engine torque.
Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the optimum traction has the highest priority under TCS operation.
TCS may be activated any time the vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly downshifts, or is driven on a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.
During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.

 

just take out the fuse in the fusebox under the hood by the battery....that cuts all traction control and vdc, the only thing is you will have your abs, brake, vdc, and slip light on until you put it back in....but it works.

 

Can anyone confirm this. If this is the case I would like to put a switch in the center console. Only heard one person say this and so far can't confirm this
