Lots of torque makes the car twitchy. You have to learn to feather the clutch more.

Took it to Nissan today, they reset the TPS, seems to have done the trick.

I could search for a dictionary but what does “shunt” mean?

Means it leaps forward at low speed on almost no throttle with clutch fully out moving slow at walking speed in traffic.. Any touch of the throttle and it leaps, unlike my supra with is silky smooth.
