You have 2 options -

#1 just unplug the top white 4 wire connector on your brake pedal under the dash. it is easy to get to but make sure the car is running and in neutral otherwise it won't start nor will it shift out of park. Obviously utilize your e-brake while you go under your dash to unplug it. This tricks the ecu into thinking you are not hitting the brakes so you can just sit there and do a burnout for as long as you want.

#2 buy a switch and install it inline with 2 of the 4 wires for that plug. You need to either get 2 separate switches or get a switch that controls two circuits independantly. this way you can do it on the fly.

Only negative is that it'll throw the SLIP, RAS, and a few other lights on your dash. Don't worry, reconnect the connector or flip the switch back, shut off the engine and then restart and all the lights go out. These are only soft lights on the dash and they don't cause any negative long term impacts.

And to the other idiots that posted in this thread - You grow up - someone comes onto this site and asks a legitimate question and you flame them??? who the milky broun stuff do you think you are? I know I am new here but I've been around the web scene for much longer than most and you guys just demonstrated the classic a-hole manuvere of shutting someone down for no reason.

So you guys aren't into racing - if you have a pair of drag radials or slicks they have to be warmed up before they become effective. Only 1 way to do that and that is to burn out. Possibly he's into drifing which requires the rear tires to break loose?? Who cares!!! Just know that the world is bigger than your cubicle or your metal coffin you drive to work in everyday.

Oh, and go ahead and post something witty so I can go Keyboard Commando and tell you how I really feel.

Ok...

Show me an M45 that's drifting. Then I'll be ok with it.

OK Mr Marlin, what particular form of media coverage do you desire? I want to make sure it meets your standards so that you will be "OK" with it. Doushe

Thank you for confirming my previous statement, I need not say anymore. You, unfortunately, probably will.

Not actually saying anything more than before...I'm still waiting for the video of an M45 drifting.

Awesome!

[SnowSurfLax]

Yeah, that's the same vid I was thinking of when they asked that question!

I'd love to get my M35 to squeal a little when I punch it. (or burn out if I had an M45). It's definitely not as dangerous as some of you who race up to 100+ in competition with other high performance vehicles on the highway.

Even when I do "turn off" the VDC it still gives me s*** when I punch. Freakin fail-safes!

[daveM45]

This may be a stupid question but what is the issue? VDC doesn't completely turn off in the 2007? I remember seeing that mentioned on the older models but not the recent years.

The reason I ask is my 15 year nephew did not know what a doughnut is. I decided he needed education and, due to a limited tire budget, I picked a nice snowy day to teach him. With VDC off we were able to do 360's in the snow effortlessly. No sign of traction control kicking in during anything we tried.

There is no doubt about it that the 45 can spin the tires with the VDC "off" but here in lies the kicker - the brake pedal. Even with the VDC off you cannot smoke the tires out at a stand still. Yes you can bring the revs up a bit and release the brake and the tires will light the hell up, but try and keep your left foot on the brake pedal and thats when the computer kicks in.

Go out and try it and you'll see what I'm talking about. After trying it with the VDC off, then try it with the switch disconnected - whoa nelly better save up for some tires!

We really need some sort of LSD though, but I wonder how the VDC would act with an LSD out back - probably throw you into a ditch accidentally

Thank you ken in az. My car has already got LSD.

Did you install it or did you buy the car like that? Reason I ask is because I want to upgrade but I am not sure that will fit so if you bought aftermarket fill us in!!!

Thanks!

[SnowSurfLax]

Update: I had it off today to hit it around a corner for testing purposes. Didn't notice I'd accidently kicked the transmission into manual mode. Freaked out for a second when the RPM's hit almost 7K. But, it didn't bog like normal.

I'll try that again (when I find a safe place) and see if throwing it in manual mode takes out the fail safe completely.

[ken in az]

I doesn't

[450GT]

My car have the LSD when i first bought it from the dealer.

How, was it an add on from Nismo? LSD was not a factory option for the 35 or 45 in the US - do you really have a "Nissan 450GT"

[Mark Linkous]

Hello,According to his sig, 450GT is in Bahrain. Hello no speed limiter. Perhaps the Fuga offers it. I would be surprised. Lame that VDC is not totally defeatable with the 06+. On the Y34, it does fully disengage.Cheers,ML

Ahhh, good catch. Very cool that you have LSD, that lets me know that LSD is ok for the state side vehicles as well.

Welcome to the forum, a good friend of mine is from Bahrain....some of the craziest fast cars live out there and no one here knows about it.

For real? I left two black marks on my burnout.

Yup - for real

2 black marks don't always mean posi/lsd.

go ahead and jack up the rear of your car and spin it CW and you will see your other rear wheel going CCW.

It's in the FSM we have no lsd
