Disabling the traction will right away register to the ECU that will void the warranty of the car.

Again, the GTR is a very complicated car because Nissan wants to take control of everything. That is my risk I am facing now. There is still no GTR service center here

I've read some stuff about this not being a very fun daily driver. Due to the paddle shifters, fear of breaking the car, then having to pay 20k to replace a tranny...........

It is a very fun car to drive, but it is a matter of selecting properly the settings before going on a trip/run. I still have not driven mine hard yet since she is barely a week old and I am still going through the manual of the whole unit. As a daily drive, she is way comfortable than my Evo 5, and it drives like an everyday normal car. I also run it in conventional A/T mode when using it for city driving.

idk how you guys are gunna tackle the computer, this car doesnt have conventional VVT it has a variable valve "EVENT" they call it that because it not only controls duration but also lift! amongst other things, i have faith in AMS tho...i mean honestly you dont get the records AMS sets without knowing your stuff...

i also think the tranny will be the downfall of this car on the track, i forget which magazine did the article but they found that the EVO X MR tranny is better suited for true track duty

o well...gotta get TRE or SHEP in on this project lol America has the most records for the Evo's we've received...why not the GTR as well

I wonder if IPT (import Performance Transmissions - build automatic transmissions) can beef up the skyline transmission. If the skyline trans could handle 1000hp+, it would be the baddest car ever
