About launch control (not about warranty) I WANT MY 3000!

[iufan993]

I bought my GTR on Valentines Day.

It had the new "launch control reprogram"

My car's Max RPM with VDC on (or off) is 2400 RPM in auto or manual.

Edmunds blog car gets 3000 with VDC on.

Another car (with Video) on this forum gets 3000 RPM with VDC on.

Others report anywhere from 2000 to 3500 RPM with new reprogram.

All of the original cars hit 4500 with VDC off and about 2000 with VDC on.

What gives? There should be only one reprogram. I know there is an update 2 weeks ago. I just want my 3000 RPM. Does campaign p8258 give me 3000 or not? Any answers are appreciated.

its all about how hard to stomp the gas. if you bought your car in Feb its got the 3K RPM update.

go out tomorrow put the brake to the floor then stomp the gas hard. it should shoot up past 3K before settling at right at 3K (maybe 2900)

if you do a few back to back it gets weaker so you need to wait a few minutes.

dont worry yours has it its just learning the technique... give it hell

I can't stomp any harder. 2400 max in any mode. I have 750 miles. When I go in for my 1000 check up, hopefully they can fix it. I guess my point it that there shouldn't be any variation from car to car, but there seems to be. Some videos on NAGTROC show as much as 3300 RPM on VDC launch.

My car does the same thing only 2400 -2200 rpm. I also have less than 1000 miles on the car. Maybe it has to have more miles to get to 3000 rpm. Takind it in for service this week or next. Hope they can do something. 1/8 mile time was only 7.91. . I will report on my service. Bought the GTR in Feb. 09.

wait so it only goes to 2400 rpm 1st gear or every gear? cuz that would suck

"It's called break in..... read your manual....."

About the tranny, you don't have to launch the car to know how many RPM you can get (just don't let off of the brake -remember, when the brake is on, the clutch is in). Besides, what part of launching the car at 2400 RPM is in violation of the break-in? That's not much strain on the diff, and I shift a couple of thousand before redline. I think this is a mistake in the reprogramming procedure. In fact I will almost guarantee it. Hopefully the latest campaign will correct the issue if done properly.

Brake needs to be applied 100%. If you go to the screen where it shows brake percentage, you'll be able to see it. and you have to hit the gas like it was your mother in law.

Yes sir If you press the function button on the dash and turn the scroll wheel to see the different screens. There's a screen where it logs the Brake G's. If you don't see it, touch on one of the 2 small windows on the right side of the screen. (I have it on the bottom right hand corner). Once you touch it, it will give you different options. look for brake percentage.

If you can't find it, I'll take pics for you. Let me know.

The reprogram is either done or not done. if it is not done properly then there would be more problems ,like no shifting at all, or warning lights , or bad shifting. if you doubt the reprogram , then go to another dealership & have them recheck.
