Hi Guys, I am posting this topic here as I experienced the failure of launch control on Sunday morning. I detail the information as follows and hope you would give me some idea/suggestion.

Back ground: MY15 GTR with full exhaust system changed to Amuse R-1000 Nardo Spec STTi & Turbine outlet; engine light has been on since then

I stopped at the traffic light on a quiet road with no other traffic next or behind me, awaiting the light to turn green.

I flipped the buttons to "R", AUTO mode, then held on the brake with my left foot, and pressed to 4000 revs.

Before I released the brake, a new alert message had popped out but I was concentrating on the traffic light and I didn't read it.

Light turned green and I released my left foot sideways, the rev quickly went up to 8k but the car was slightly moved forward and kept this pace (like sliding on a speed of 3-5km/ph) moving through the whole traffic light. DURING this period, transmission was like dead as it didn't gear no matter in Auto or Manual; It was sliding itself like dead but the engine was alive.

I was a bit panic as it just can't keep it this way in the traffic! about 3 mins it had slided forward, I found it turned back to normal.

I drove it as usual and left the area quickly.

Anyone has any similar experience to share with? Or any idea what happened at all about this?

Appreciated your opinion.

Question is how long did you hold it at 4000 rpm? the launch really needs to be done quick or you will overheat the trans. Best to get a Cobb AP and dial down the Revs too. I launch at 3200-3400 and it gets away very nicely, and without the brutality of it all.. I had LC set to 4000 on one of my very first launches and it just shit itself and threw error codes due to rear wheel spin. Was lucky I had the Cobb on hand as it enabled me to quickly ECU reset & clear the error codes via the Cobb and I was away again without the limp mode bs..

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
