And disabling it let the motor work harder?! Interesting.

Not really. If it detects wheel slippage it will cut the throttle. It's just Nissan's nomenclature for "electrical traction control". Goes by the name of DSC, TRC, E-Diff, etc. But it's all the same thing.

Your foot (gas pedal) isn't actually connected to the throttle plate. It's all done by electronics. Hence the term DBW, "drive by wire".
