Incorrect massive grip will break things, driving your production car like a race car will break things.

Maybe no one followed the problems with those cars because it was back in the day. But imagine the strain launching an almost 4k lb car awd to those speeds. Id like to see the price for a gtr then. Buy an evo and constantly rev up and launch off the line and tell me how the tranny holds up.

Also im not sure but don't quote me. The launch control was something that people figured out the car could do by pressing certain buttons. It wasnt exactly put into the car as an exclusive feature. More of like up up down down left right left right select start. If someone can research that and put it out in the clear.

Incorrect it's not some sort of bypass it's software that was ment to come with the car (launch control) .

It isn't any stronger. It's has the same internals as a 300zx transmission, and the attessa isn't the same .
