GTR Tranny Crapping Out.... Caught on Tape.

enjoy.

"With a light touch on the brakes, run the revs up a bit. Slip off the brake and bury the throttle. There's a light chirp as tires scratch for bite. Then comes a sub-5.0-second sled ride to 60 mph. A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

making a car that has a "void warranty" button is bad, and all the marketing is based on useing that button

someone should sue for false advertisement

That's what Nissan gets for not thinking it through.

to the tuners' credit, they did launch the car over 100 times in varying states of modification with the launch control on before it broke... but its still pretty epic fail to have a button you can't use on a car that is advertised to be fast because of said button.
