So the trans needs to be built to handle it...? Is it a poor performer relative to the regular Z AT? Poorer gearing, for example?

I don't know enough about the AWD system on the G, but I believe the GT-R's system has virtually nothing in common with that setup. It has a DCT for one, a transaxle & of course the ATTESA E-TS system.

I figured they were different, but unless it can't handle the extra torque or just isn't a very good design for performance applications, I don't see why that wouldn't make for a pretty awesome car.
