Yes, there are different variants of the Nissan 7 speed transmissions all with different build specs and control software. Torque management, engine variables (programming) and even torque convertors will help prevent damage and help maintain transmission life.
The magic number for our cars is still below 400 ft-lbs of torque and its the 4-7 gears clutch packs that are in danger of being slipped around that torque range. It's amazing how just little material is in those clutch packs.
There is no magic solution to this problem. If you want to boost a automatic car and have more power and torque than stock, you need better clutch packs, torque convertor and heat management. OR eventually you will burn out the transmission .... period. Just like a manual clutch will eventually fail from more power than stock.
Consider a upgrade to the automatic transmission clutch packs, cooling etc for a car you want to boost and make more power. Or don't boost because you will wind up paying way more in the end.
The parts you need are out there and any competent shop that's local can do the work for you. If you want the best and can afford it, Level 10 is the shop to use.
There are NO shortcuts
