G37s VDC?
G37s VDC?
I posted this over at 6mt, but figured I'd put it here as well as it's something that's stuck in my head to know the answer to.
"Is it just me or does my '08 G37s 6mt shift a hell of a lot easier (relatively spealing) with the VDC off? Seems to be a lot smoother with out the "herky jerky" feel you get in the first 3 gears if you're not revving over 3-4k. Just wondering what the reason is- computer isn't trying to manipulate the rear wheels? Or maybe it's just my imagination. Am I nuts?"
Any answer to this would be appreciated so I can go back to obsessing over some other trivial thing!

Youre nuts =P. Unless youre spinning out the tires, the VDC does not modulate the rear wheels. If youre driving normally (not WOT), there should be no difference between vdc on and off in terms of shifting.
The difficulty you have with changing gear smoothly is a result of poor clutch pedal design from the factory. There's a solution coming soon. Watch out for my post in a week or two for a review of a new pedal system.

At least I know I'm nuts now
I didn't think there'd be any difference, but damned if it seems smoother in daily driving around town.
Looking forward to a new pedal system!

I have done the spring and pedal travel mods so I am interested in this.
To the OP, I have driven with VDC off and there's no difference in normal driving.
I'm been on this forum for 5+ years so I know all the minor clutch mods you're talking about. And i've tried all of them.
You can adjust the screw to lower the pedal. You can add a spacer to prevent the pedal from travelling all the way to the floor. And you can change out the helper spring to change the feel of the pedal. But none of these mods address the real issue.
The stock pedal has about 3 inches of pedal travel. Most of it is wasted foot work. The clutch goes from fully disengaged to fully engaged in about 1-2cm. There's very little room for you to ease in the clutch. When you have an aftermarket clutch, this problem is magnified even more.
The new clutch pedal I'm receiving should address this problem. I dont want to promise too much before I test it out. But stayed tuned for a full install + review.
I'm the first person to receive and test this pedal out. So yes, it'll be completely new, not just to me.

It's all placebo... Im a bouncer here in Toronto and I was working the door to an all ages event... We grabbed a kid who was selling pills and all it was were Tylenol but all the kids thought it was legit E and were jumping all over the place... After the kids found out it wasn't E this kid got the **** kicked out of him... placebo is a bitch
