Hi,

It is the VDC disengage that I assume he is referring to, as nowhere in the Nissan documentation does the phrase Launch Control come up.

EDIT: More than willing to be shown otherwise, I'm certainly not the authority on GTR's - just been reading a lot recently.

Cheers,
Nik

If the car officially does 0-100km/h in 3.4 seconds, why was it allowed to compete (and win) Targa?

Cause we all know someone had to knock Jim Richards off his perch !!!! I don't care if they had to cheat

Nissan Cancels Launch Control for 2010 GT-R

LOS ANGELES — Rumors have been swirling around the 2009 Nissan GT-R and the issue of warranty claims around its launch control system for months, but this week Inside Line learned that the prospect of launch control going away completely is not a rumor, but a confirmed change for the 2010 GT-R.

In late October, Nissan's corporate communications department issued the following statement regarding warranty claims against damage assumed to be caused by the supercar's launch control system:

"The GT-R is built to exceptionally high standards and is a true supercar in every respect. It is designed to be operated in accordance with the Owners Manual provided at the time of purchase. The GT-R is not to be operated with the VDC system switched off, except when rocking the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow. Damage to the vehicle, including to drivetrain components such as the transmission or engine, resulting from such operation is excluded from warranty coverage by its terms. As customer satisfaction is our top priority, we ask that our GT-R owners keep this in mind and reference the GT-R Owner's Manual for more details."

Now tired of the continuing controversy, a Nissan official has confirmed that launch control will not be part of the 2010 GT-R.

So I'm guessing the performance will be affected? From what I've read 0 - 100 time for the GTR without launch control is 4 - 4.2s which is the same as an Evo X FQ360 (UK) which is a shitload cheaper (around $80K). And then there's the more powerful FQ400 due out next year which would really challenge the GTR. I seem to remember reading somewhere about the Evo ix FQ400 beating a Lambo Gallardo. So they're pretty quickl!

Datsun

There must be a way around the problem but my guess is they have put in way too much capital into the current gearbox to warrant R&Ding another one so soon.
