Nissan GTR launch control
Discussion

Ive had the 2013 gearbox software uploaded to my 09 GTR by litchfield and it allows you to preset the desired revs for launch control to your preference.
Ive still never used it though.
now how do i know if i have this? Mine is a 2011 model, Litchfield stage 4. I know the boost level is adjusted via the cruise control but not sure about the launch revsIve still never used it though.
The adjustable launch control is only available with the Litchfield/ecutek software.
When in launch mode you just adjust the holding rpm with the cruise control switch as you would with the boost.(making sure the boost gauge is not showing on the mfd or you will adjust that instead)
It can be set between 2,500rpm and 4,500rpm.
Do you have the traction control in R mode or switched off? It should be in R along with the transmission.

I'll try that this weekend.When in launch mode you just adjust the holding rpm with the cruise control switch as you would with the boost.(making sure the boost gauge is not showing on the mfd or you will adjust that instead)

I've never tried to launch with it turned off, always in R.

Doesn't lots of wheelspin suggest that the clutchpack is gone, i.e. you're getting virtually no drive to the front.
I'm getting plenty of drive to the fronts, my mate filmed me launching and all 4 wheels are spinning all the way through first and into second.It still hit 60 in 3 seconds dead, i just expected it to be a bit quicker.

Kai, did you buy the car already modded, or did you have the upgrades done yourself?
Either way, Ian Litchfield is always happy to answer questions about his stuff, just give the office a call.
I bought the car modded, i'm going to get it to Litchfield in the new year for a service and check over and maybe go stage 5 if my boss is generous with the bonus. Had it out this weekend but didn't launch it as it was too wet.Either way, Ian Litchfield is always happy to answer questions about his stuff, just give the office a call.

tyre brand? tyre thread? cold tyres? surface/ambient temperature?
lots of factors..
I's running the Bridgstone runflats that i believe are OE, they were brand new when i bought the car 2k ago so have plenty of tread and it does this in the bone dry even after ive been for an aggressive run or done multiple starts in a row plus it's been very mild for this time of year around Heathrowlots of factors..

Dunlops are OE, that might be part of the problem. deeps said:
Ned, I think the Bridgestones were fitted to pre 2011 UK cars too.
I've just had a set on my 12 car, they grip very well, very pleased with them (except for the price of course)
No they weren't - all UK cars from 2009 were supplied with Dunlops.I've just had a set on my 12 car, they grip very well, very pleased with them (except for the price of course)
Having said that, I fitted Bridgestone RE070 when they need changing and was very happy with them.
