Watch the 2012 GT-R utilize its R-Mode Start Function to get up to speed quick! The latest version of the GT-R's launch control can only be used four times consecutively to protect the tranny and clutches. See the video and read the excerpt from the owner's manual after the jump! Via Nagtroc


2012 Nissan GT-R Launch Control LC4 R35

R MODE START FUNCTION
This function enables the driver to start acceleration from a stop by selecting R mode with the
VDC and transmission setup switch. The engine output will be maintained at approximately 4,000
rpm. When using the R mode or the R mode start function, always use proper seating position and follow the safety instructions in Section 1 of this manual

How to use R-Mode Start Function in the 2012 Nissan GT-R:

  1. Move the shift lever to the A or M position.
  2. Select the R mode with the transmission setup switch (VDC, transmission and suspension setup ‘switches’).
  3. Select the R mode with the VDC setup switch.
  4. Depress the brake pedal firmly with your left foot and keep depressing the brake pedal.
  5. Depress the accelerator pedal quickly to the floor with your right foot while the brake pedal is depressed. The engine speed will increase to approximately 4,000 rpm and will be maintained.
  6. Within 3 seconds after depressing the accelerator pedal, release the brake pedal.

It can only be used 4 times?

Looks like consecutively. I'll edit the post: "If the R mode start function is used 4 times consecutively, the function may be disabled and cannot be turned on to protect the vehicle system. While the function is disabled, the warning light illuminates. When the warning light illuminates, perform cool down driving."

4 times in a row is plenty.

So how long before you can use it again? I get that they're trying to protect the drivetrain but how about built a drivetrain that can take it?
