first off this is my first post and my first 350z, its a 2003 with 28k miles has axis penta 20" rims on it with nitto tires. im not sur eof the trim level, it only has vds button not the tcs, has navigation and leather. any ideas what trim level this is? my car max report didnt say on the print out .i bought it for 20,500.

i have found a performance shop withing a 1/2 hour of me called altered atmosphere motorsports. from their website they seem pretty big and reputable. i am thinking about taking it to them later down the road and getting intake, plenuim spacer and exhaust. is that enough to be a noticable difference? thanks in advanced.

 

I could be wrong, but I believe if you have VSC, that TCS is included in that. Does it have the Brembo brakes? If not, its most likely the touring model.

 

you have a touring model...use the search function many folks have altered atmosphere(in particular their spacer) products on their car here.

you should be in good hands there.

 

no i dont have brembo brakes. so if i have vsc then tcs is included under that? and in that case if i urn vsc off then the tcs is turned off as well?

 

yes..If you have VDC, TCS goes along with that.


you cant turn them off seperatly it's all or nothing.

 

It's a Touring

 

Md has plenty of Zs. AAM can re-map your ECU and erase the speed limiter.

 

touring like mine

and yes, u will feel a difference with those mods

 

Welcome and congrats on your Touring model. Lots of info here and you will enjoy the discoveries like you will the driving.

 

you may want too keep a eye on your front tires inside tire wear and manual transmission. hope you got some type of extended warrenty

 

Welcome Travis and congratz on the 03.

 

VDC = vehicle dynamic control. It includes both the TCS (Traction Control System) as well as vehicle yaw rate control to correct understeer or oversteer. Some Z's only have TCS (traction control) and the base model has neither.

From the Nissan website: VDC* Instantly senses when your car is losing its steered line of trajectory and responds by reducing engine torque and braking specific wheels as necessary.

 

OP:

Congrats on your new acquisition!
