they updated the car ( very playstationish) you just hook it up to a special lap top click a button and watch a progress bar fill up just like an update to PS3.
the update reduces the launch control to 3K rpm vs 4500 and it changes how the clutches engage so its less stressful on the car. you can do the LC with VDC on now and its under warranty.
i did alot of testing with the new update and bottomline its only about one tenth of a second slower than the old LC ( 0-60 and 1/8th the two tests i ran) with no real stress on the car

i just did some googling about this and read up at edmunds about the update. but what happened to those 16 to 19 GT-Rs with busted tran? did Nissan do anything for them at all? since it is technically Nissan fault.
and regarding the update - this IS just like a firmware update for the PS3 lol.
