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.
