Hard acceleration, car pulls right..
#1
On hard acceleration from a standstill, the car seems to pull to the right up until the 2nd gear. Alignment guy told me that front wheel cars tend to do that after I had my alignment done at his shop. That just didn't sound right, thinking about bringing it to the dealer just make sure...Wondering if any 5sp 2k Max is doing the same.

All high power front wheel drive cars do that. It is not "another Nissan" problem. My SHO that had problem also. There are costly ways to fix that, but it is cheaper to not accelerate as hard. Front wheel drive cars were designed for economy in mind, not performance.

I just thought it had something to do with the differential allowing the wheel with more traction to grab better, therefore it gets more of the power distribution and thus pulls the car that direction. Mine seems to pull sometimes to the left, so this was my logic. Not sure though.

In a rear wheel drive vehicle, the drive shaft usually runs down the center of the car... and so the differential is located in the center (with respect to width). The distance between each rear wheel to the differential is the same... therefore, no torque steer.
