So, pretty much everyone knows about how whippy whoppy quick this car is - but many unfortunate folks are now realising that if you purchase one, and drive it like they show you on Top gear by pressing buttons and switches to launch the crap out of it - Nissan will void your warranty... *surprised* Shame really - as they quote the 0-60 times in advertising blurbs, but the only way of achieving this is to void your warranty. *hehe!*

Shame they couldn't make the clutch packs available instead of having to swap out whole transmissions...

Hi,
That youtube link is funny *happy*
But what's the point of having a car that can do that then not being able to use it?
Surely that's false advertising?
Cheers,

I think the issue is folks turning launch control off - basically so they can put 100% torque to all four wheels.
Basically - like having a fully loaded Evo, sitting in 1st gear with the engine on he rev limiter, then side-stepping the clutch.

Trouble is - in a manual trans, this just toasts the weak point - a replaceble clutch. In the Nissan, the clutch is a pretty strong unit - but one that is not indestructable.
I personally think they need to stop the BS advertising, and disable the feature.
