Been having this issue since i bought the car and finaly getting the time to look at the issue so here it goes.

2003 350 touring

When i start the car and start rolling the front right wheel will apply the brakes by itself, lock up the wheel and let go, lock up again and let go and on the third time around the VDC off light and slip will turn on and stay on.
The abs light does not come on at any point and no CEL either.

If i turn off vdc before i start moving i avoid all of this ( which is what ive been doing but anyways id like to solve the problem)

Im running 18's that are within tolerance for the vdc but still checked to make sure with a friends 2003 350z and it never gave him any issues.

Any help is appreciated , ive looked around the forums for similar issues without any luck.

 

I know you said you are running 18 inch wheels, but tell us what size tires you have front and back. --Spike

 

Off the top of my head (car is in storage and im at sea working)

Front 235/40
Rear 275/35(these im sure of)

 

If you are in fact on 18” wheels, the sizes you report are wholly wrong.

The front should be something like 245/40-18”

The rear should be something like 275/40-18”

The sizes you mention are very wrong.

 

If the rolling diameter of your front tires are larger than your rears, it will throw off your VDC system. This could lead to VDC trying to activate and the problems you're experiencing. Check the tire sizes when you get back and let us know.

 

Steering angle sensor being screwed up will also cause this

 

245 40 18 sounds about right

Ill be home around the 18th of jan ill let you guys know then thanks very much for the help!

 

245/40-18 is the correct size for the front. The rear would need to be taller.

When you get home the middle of this month, post the actual tire sizes and I'll try to help. --Spike

 

Well 235/40 front and 275/35 rears so i guess thats my issue

Weird it never did that on my buddys car with the samw wheels and tires

 

Your fronts and rears are close to the same overall diameter with the fronts slightly shorter. So, you should be OK with those sizes. I have a 2003 with VDC and run an all-square winter tire/wheel setup.

I think you should follow-up on terrasmak's suggestion.

 

I don't see anything wrong with the sizes you have. I like 235/45 front & 275/40 rear better but what you have shouldn't be a problem..

I would immediately have your car checked cause that sounds like a dangerous situation.

 

What would you have checked?

Just asking because you said: "I would immediately have your car checked cause that sounds like a dangerous situation."

 

Next step will be to pull the code, my code scanner is at my dads 8hrs away ill see if i can get it shipped to me.

Dangerous? I wouldnt say so it doesnt act up once i hit the vdc off button. Just annoying that i have to switch it off every time

 

I have a 2006 G35 sedan base model and I am having the exact same problem I have replaced the ABS wheel sensor on that wheel and the problem persists.

 

did u manage to fix this??!!

 

These kind of brake problems are usually associated with wiring problems. I'd suggest pulling codes from the ABS section to gain any information there. Next check the wheel speed sensors on all corners to make sure they are properly installed and functioning. After that, it gets more complicated (ask me how I know) and you may need to check the cabin harness for breaks or shorts.
