600 WHP GTM NISMO build. preparation

as for grip...... I will try to mitigate it as much as I can by putting maybe 80-120 tread wear tires on it "40 is to soft for the road" and do what i already do, put 305s in the rear and 265s in the front. the rims aren't quite wide enough for 315 or I would do it. low profile tires ALREADY get smoked and this car dinod on Guam at 369.5 FWHP no I don't have a pic of the Dino map so don't ask. that being said it really doesn't matter if I make 400 or 600 horsepower, traction on the nismo from a dig is a 100% complete joke. I have 305 potenza s04 pole positions and if I don't baby it off the line is will spin through 2nd and chirp 3rd. my base model launched better than my nismo and it didn't even have an LSD, that's what a stiff suspension does to u. lucky for me, I'm not buying all this for it to be a straight line muscle car wannabe, when i do choose to track it, it will be all circuit and time attack stuff. around a real track where it belongs and was designed for. I'm sure on the road I will still get spanked at red lights by cars with 400 horse and good traction but to be honest I really don't care.

We've got something to help out with traction from a dig. I don't know if you knew about it, but our GTM Plug and Play Traction Control System allows the end user to dial in how much wheelspin they want. Unlike the factory VDC that closes the throttles when wheelspin is detected, our traction control system cuts power much more progressively and allows as much power to get to the ground as the tires/suspension are capable of holding.

can it be adjusted to the TRUE OFF possition if i wanna get "spirited" with it? unlike nissans VDC traction nanny "off" just means "almost" on the nismo in fast corners i can actually feel the car braking OUT of corners when i go in with any amount of speed and cause understeer. its insanly annoying and is most definatly taking time off my laps having the breaks on while the gas pedels on the floor

oh, and can it be installed to go to the VDC button the car already has? or at LEAST to the same location, i want to keep max OEM look possible so i would rather keep guages, knobs, dials, and lights to a minimum lol. especially if they are required to be cut or molded into the dash or other interior pieces that if ever REMOVED are now destroyed.
