so sorry for gt-r owners

[JITB]

If i paid 70 grand for a car, I would drive the piss out of it. And if its stock, it better be able to do it over and over again for at least 100k miles. Or i want my $$$ back, so i can get something better.

If i had a GTR i dont htink i woudl beat on it like that.. unless i had the pocket to fix it. I mean you beat on any car no matter how well its made it will wear on it..and take damage. its physics.. its kind of messed up that they went thru all that trouble to find out what happened. But he should have known they could find a way to get his driving habits uploaded. hell i knew they could do that. Truth is, if all cars had the technology to pull up driving habits when they come up for warranty service...50% of warranties wouldnt be honored. And most warranties state "under normal driving conditions". You take a car in for a warranty service with a exhaust on it, and they wont touch it.

Look at it from that guy's standpoint though, he payed 70k for a car that already needs a 20k tranny replacement, which in itself is insane. I want to find out the extent of what caused this.

it needs a tranny because of the beating its been taking obviously. its not like the tranny went to **** randomly. Im not defending Nissan, but i mean, youhave to look at it from their point of view. The same thing happened with the previous GTR's and every other Hi-perf car released. its just us in the US are making a ruckus over it. ijsut have to repeat mys elf over and over, If nissan did warranty service over every GTR that came back to them with a problem and the owners were driving them like madmen..than they woudl go bankrupt. GTR isnt the only car with the driver data record in it.

You have to pay to play, and pay attention to the fine print. I'm with JITB, if you buy a car and beat on it, and it brakes, and it specifically states that if you do this you will void your warranty, you better be prepared to dish out the cash. Because after all in the end its nobody else fault but your own, don't run out and buy a car you know nothing about.

And it being the 1st gen of a car like this, yea they are going to be a few problems, but no body twisted your arm and told you, you had to be one of the 1st to own it.

I'm not choosing sides here just yet, I also said I want to know what caused this. If it was just driving with VDC off, then Nissan needs to look into the durability of their 70k supercar. All I'm saying is anyone who payed that kind of money for a car and then had to get a 20k tranny replacement soon after will be pissed, I know I would. And really a GT-R's tranny shouldn't be failing that early, unless the guy was using launch control at every red light or something.

I would be pissed as well, I think anyone would have. But still Supercars arn't cheap they arnt reliable and if your spending money on one you should have the money to make sure if something breaks you can fix it.

But really its Nissans Fault anyway, that last minute change button Icon was a little misleading, the original design would of kept him from breaking the car:
