The dealer should be able to, and TECHNICALLY, 0 is ok


The early gens had problems with launches, some trannies would break after 20, some after 200, and warranty never covered it


Evidently you can get an upgrade which allows launch control, but I'm not a GTR expert

I'd def. test-drive both before making a decision.

For sure, having a brand new car; you'll know where it's been b/c you'll be the only one who has driven it.

Is that price in Malaysia or UK? yes, most imported cars in Thailand are easily 3x the price of that same car with bigger engines in USA. I live there off and on for many years.

They can do that by checking VDC off stall starts in the data monitor section of the consult III

but that only matters really if its an older GTR if you are buying a 2012+ the launches are full warranted and its not a taboo of oh this car has X amount of launches as its not recorded the same way as its a normal operating process of the car.

I see you are interested in a 2008. that car is the one to be most concerned with about launches. i would want one with 0 launches but if there is 4-5 or something. real world thats a non issue
