Electronic brake distrubution?

[Leenx]

We have one of these on our import JDM Zeds don't we?

 

A thread in the general section was making the point that one of the main differences between UK and JDM Zeds was we don't have this facility? My understanding was we did and I have I think what's called an ESP switch near to my petrol cap opener. Would someone mind confirming this and also explaining if there are any other braking / suspension differences between UK and JDM, tried the differences section but no joy?

 

Cheers

quite sure you have it on JDM too

[lomoto]

mine has TCS , not ESP dont know about the brake distribution though

you have ESP too lomoto

you have ESP too lomoto

 

really , what is it by the by??

[Removed]

electronic stability program

see my new FAQ.

 

also, Nissan's own definition is:

 

"ESP

 

ESP is the latest traction and stability aid. It automatically monitors wheel grip and adjusts a spinning or slipping wheel using a combination of the brake and engine torque. ESP+ is linked to an active brake limited slip differential, as well as to the latest generation of anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution (ABS+EBD), Nissan brake assist and traction control (TCS)."

[lomoto]

just checked , JDM's can have VDC or TCS ; mine has TCS, so no ESP???

[Removed]

VDC is just another name for the ESP see my FAQ

[lomoto]

VDC is just another name for the ESP see my FAQ

 

so mine wont have it as it has TCS not VDC?

[lomoto]

VDC TCS ESP it dont matter as I switch it off anyway

[Removed]

this is for the US models so you might be right... but all UK models get both TCS and VDC

 

 

"The 2006 350Z offers a power-assisted 4-wheel disc Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. (BA).

 

Brembo brakes, featuring four front caliper pistons and two rear and larger pads and rotors, are standard on the Coupe Track and Coupe and Roadster Grand Touring models.

 

Traction Control System (TCS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) (not available on all models) work in conjunction with the braking package. TCS uses the ABS wheel speed sensors to detect if the rear wheels are accelerating faster than the fronts. If so, torque is reduced to the drive wheels by altering the fuel injector pulse and controlling the Electronic Throttle Control motor.

 

Working hand-in-hand with the Anti-lock Braking System and the Traction Control System, VDC can reduce engine torque or apply individual brakes as necessary to help stabilize the car under severe cornering situations or adverse weather conditions."

So mine doesnt have it then

you'll have EBD and TCS but since it's a cheapo you won't have VDC if your model (which JDM was it in the first place anyway?) is the equivalent to the US one that doesn't get it.

yes thats the one , base model same as US spec

edited my previous post as you'll have EBD not ESP which = VDC (I think, getting confused myself now )

Fu**! Thanks for helping put guys but now totally confused???! I have the JDM T version 52 plate - so which braking system will I have? Basicaly I want to know is will I have the same breaking stuff as a UK equivalent?

but since it's a cheapo

if it has a TCS button it wont have ESP if it has VDC button it will, (I think )

think that is correct. Now the question is though, for us who have the VDC, when we switch it off, does it switch off the TSC too or just the VDC, and if not, when you switch the TCS off (like Lomoto has), does it switch the ABS off too?

when the TCS is off ABS is still operational , I dont know any make of car you can switch off ABS??( though I bet someone on here will )

[Removed]

ok then what about EBD? does does switch off too then

[lomoto]

dunno if mine has it for sure ?? does yours if you switch of VDC?

[Removed]

not if you just press the button, but there's an urban legend that says that if you keep the VDC button pressed for a while, a lot of aid systems do shut down...

theres too many urban legends surrounding the electrics on our cars I wish Nissan could set out a definitive answer to these sort of questions
