Looks like this tuner found the limit with the GTR tranny. Only 600hp and 100 launches, the tranny fails. Not good news for people modding the GTR. $20,000 for a new transmission, crazy 
. That is two Nissan Versa's, LOL.

Yeah...Nissan should really concentrate too beef up that tranny or it will hurt like hell. Also maybe tuners like that may find wy to strengthen the tranny with stronger cogs/parts. Still for that kind of money and throw an extra let's say 25k in mods to get a car to do 10.5 seconds at the dragstrip is just insane. Add some nitrous and that car should do high 9s
