What Is Vsd?

[greenpool]

Hi Guys,

let me come clean and let you know that i know very little about cars : \

i just purchased skyline v35 and found that it had a switch to turn VSD on and off.

i honestly don't know what this..i've tried searching google but i couldn't find anything conclusive.

can one of you car-smart people tell me what this is and whats the benefit of having it on? (and if there are any disadvantages like higher fuel consumption etc.)

thanks in advance!

p.s: hope this is the right forum..

I think it is Viscous LSD for your diff centre but I could be wrong.

I dont think there would be a switch for a viscous LSD as its not electronically operated.

Im sure someone will give you a definate answer though

VSD = traction control in those models.

So, if you put your foot down hard from say a set of lights, your car will try to stop your wheels from spinning if its set to on. Also helps out in wet weather when loosing traction is more likely to occur.

this might be a stupid question but i shall ask anyway, does that consume more fuel? as in if i leave it switched on at all times..?

In a car i have it's vdc a maxima.

i assume your instruction manual is in japanese. vehicle stability dynamics.

in the manual it states that it pushes the rear suspension down whilst cornering to provide more grip.

also controls traction control. to me when i press it the car feels totally different. i actually like it off on twisting roads feels more raw. i can still get tire smoke with it switched on sometimes.

also on models such as 350z you can not turn it off 100%

will cut power to the tires. but does take some time to realise how worn tires are etc.

it doesn't apply brakes as far as i can tell.

you would definitely be saving petrol with it on.

basically it will change the angle at which you will take corners if in any kind of drift and will try and straighten you out. the car will be faster with it switched off. in my opinion anyway. just more likely too loop.

It won't make any difference at all for daily driving, if you are trying to do a burnout with it off it will use more fuel as you'll rev it lots, if its on it will stop the wheels spinning and hence rev less.

end of the day it won't make bugger all difference, car will feel faster with it off when pushing the limits as I imagine it is quite a tame limiter cutting power completely when it detects loss of traction.

Bottom line For every 2,300 children receiving the MMRV combination vaccine (Proquad) instead of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and the varicella vaccine (MMR-varicella) separately, one additional child will experience a febrile seizure. (Level of evidence = 2b)

Synopsis The measles vaccine is associated with an increased risk of febrile seizure 1 to 2 weeks after administration. To determine whether the risk of febrile seizure increases with MMRV, these researchers analyzed data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a vaccine safety surveillance system that captures data on 9 million members of eight US managed care organizations. The VSD is updated weekly with vaccine administration data and outcomes. The dataset included all children aged 12 to 23 months who received their first dose of the MMRV vaccine (83,107); the rate of febrile seizure was compared with children who received the MMR-varicella vaccines (376,354) during the prior 8 years. Febrile seizure was defined by the treating physician. Seizure risk for the 7 to 10 days after administration was higher with MMRV than with MMRvaricella

, with an additional 4.3 febrile seizures per 10,000 doses of MMRV instead of MMR-varicella (95% CI, 2.6-5.6). This translates to one additional seizure for every 2,300 doses of combination MMRV given instead of two separate vaccines (number needed to treat to harm = 2,300).

Automated spamming program (above)

I was reading some interesting story recently about a guy who spends his time tracking down those spammers and taking them down

[Rolls]

makes no sense why you would spam that though, who on earth would be interested in the "vaccine safety surveillance system"

What Is Vsd?

Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD)

make more sense now?

Lol I figured out what the acronym but why on earth would they buy a spam bot for it, sounds like a pretty bloody specialised system.
