Default Calling 06 350z drivers w/VDC

Okay so I have started having issues with my car, I'm guessing dealing with the VDC? So it started about 2 weeks ago or so, every time I would turn the VDC off on mine and try to go drifting it would try to die, it will almost try and stall and then several times it has actually fully died.

Now tonight is where I got the most worry, I wasn't doing anything harsh on the car, and was just driving around 60mph, I was using the cruise control and I hit a small bump in the road and all of a sudden it like jolted and it killed the cruise, shutting it completely off. Did that twice in a row and that's when I just drove, as I got in to town driving in like 3rd or 4th it would jolt and try to stall and the ABS light, Brake light, VDC off light, and the SLIP light all would kick on and then because I was still in gear giving it gas it would finally kick back on and all would go back to normal but I could feel it every once and again jolt just plan driving.

My question is that what is causing this, could I have broken a VDC sensor? Or broken an ABS disk or something? I'm stumped. I'm not all knowing of Zs yet.. So I'm trying to learn and figure out my issue.

I did change a rear wheel bearing about 3 weeks ago. but didn't touch anything electrical.

Sorry for the long post but I'm concerned about my Z.

You have a transmission and engine problem. Take it some where to put it on a machine get the codes, call the corporation make a claim and then go to this website and file another complaint with the national highway traffic safety administration.

The corporation is not going to do anything but the word will get back that there's a problem with this car from the safety division. Here's another website to file a lawsuit against them:
