On paper is what the dealership will refer to when you ask for a new $22K transmission + labor under warranty. They will pull the data from your PCM, and say "Oh...I see...did you read the insert that came in the car? it was right there on the passenger floorboard when you took delivery..."
I understand you might know someone, or have "an in", etc. etc. etc. but it's amazing how people back-track when $20K/their job is on the line. I wouldn't risk it.
The fact remains that there IS NO LAUNCH CONTROL. People are using a feature that was designed for one thing, as another. Nissan never stated otherwise, and that is why they are voiding the warranty. It would be like using the drive-shaft in a mustang as a winch to pull your 4-wheeler out of the mud or something. Of course it won't be warrantied. They don't warranty a car when you do "neutral drops" with a regular automatic, why should they warranty the GT-R when you do something similar?
