Turns out the nanny computer was detuned to protect parts that could not handle full power under launch.


IIRC there was a lawsuit over that.
yes and porsche blatently called nissan liars when they posted a sub turbo s time for the gtr on the nurburgring.

They bought their own gtr and a profesional driver couldent get anywhere near the advertised time. I suspect porsche put R&T up to this test to jab nissan a bit.
