02' Miata
I love your Miata don't get me wrong and I have met you and your a cool guy and your car would wax mine but the GTR would take you in every way I am sorry. The amount of technology in the car is amazing and the model that comes out after this one maybe some of the issues will be worked out but I do know it is going to be 400 pounds lighter which is a big deal.

GTR isnt the only car with the driver data record in it.
my god 20k for a transmission that cant even hold stock power, and wtf is VDC
Yeah I with JITB I mean every car is that way really it just so happens that the car is expensive to work on and that sucks. I am not defending Nissan so much either but it is like if you owned a shop and rebuilt a motor for someone and they threw a rod in it because they took it straight to the track to rag on it would you take it back and fix it?

Gaines-Vegas BabyThat's What She Said
You take a stock cobra and just do 4k launches...over and over and over **** will start breaking..
soooo pissed would i be! ha
IG: seanvee87
it wont be the transmission, and if it was bone stock even ford would replace it under warranty
if i had money like that i wouldnt really care id be calling up cobb an other aftermarket companys **** warranty lol
....True ////OFFSET\\\\
x2. Serisously dont buy a car you cant afford to maintain. and dont beat it up if you cant afford the consequences
but what i wanna know is, why is there a button on the car you cant use? what if i slipped and hit the button and turned the VDC off on accident? now my warranty is void?
Just like when the evo came out and mistubisho quit warrantying the transfer cases.
Actually, you might want to rethink that. He could very well lose. It is expressly written in teh manufactures warranty booklet that driving with the VDC off will void the warranty. Right there Nissan and it's army of lawyers have the upper hand.
The thing he should do is find the other owners of the vehicles that are also fubared and get with them. Strength in numbers. If enough people ***** and moan, Nissan will just fix them to get them silenced and not go through it. But him alone, he doesn't stand that much of a chance.
Sad day indeed for GTRs

Dirty Octopus Photography. Magic with a shutter!
You're right. Maybe we should all just be original, not buy the gt-r, and mod an economy car!!! Oh wait...everyone does that....
Over priced? Hardly considering the numbers it puts down. 3.4 0-60
Over complicated? As many have stated it drives itself, hard hard is it to paddle shift?
And as far s inferiority to the previous gtr's goes, only time will tell...
x2
well said
I bet not. You do have a badass miata though.I bet my Miata is more robust than the GTR... and i've increased the power by 150% at the wheels
just imagine..if mustangs had driver data recorders in them....it wont be the transmission
I'm assuming you were there when he was "constantly using launch control and turning VDC off" ?
Talk about blowing sh!t out of proportion. EVERYONE has the same issues.
BMW S54 engines were blowing up when they first came out
Mustang Cobras were blowing head among many other issues
C6 Z06s had roofs that wouldnt stay on the car, the diff clunked, the axle bolts were loose sometimes... you get the idea.
Why single out Nissan? EVERYONE has growing pains. Surely you didnt expect the first year model to be freakin perfect!
Most of you probably wouldn't buy a GT-R anyway so might as well join the club and talk smack right?
Mike, you know I love your car, but its not holding nowhere near as much as a GTR is holding. Put 500 hp to it and do a couple of launches and see whats left, it sure as hell wont be bewbies :boobies:I bet my Miata is more robust than the GTR... and i've increased the power by 150% at the wheels

**** WRX's were breaking tranny's when people tried launching them in 02.
And if you go in for brake service and your rotors show burn spots from abuse, they wont touch them, even if your paying for it unless its to buy new rotors.
Everyone knew the GTR would have some kind of flaw just like every first production version of a new car.
Yep, I'm sure they do have the upper hand, But if it voids the warrty why
can a GTR owner even turn off the VDC, thats the part that makes no
sence (sp) to me??
Any one have a clue on that one??
Nice Job:
"You workin' today?"
"Yeah"
"what you doin'?"
"Just gotta fly to American to DL some info off of a car that broke"
"Schweet!"
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
Well this is excitingIf I bought a new, automatic car that would tear the transmission out, under stock power, within 30k miles, VDC or not I would expect the manufacture to warranty it. I can't wait to see what happens when people start to mod the dammn thing. I guess the first mod everyone should do is beef up that transmission since it is obviously not suited for the 3.8 60mph times advertised.
Yeah no kidding
Vehicle Dynamic Control
Vehicle Destruction Control, turn it off and boom goes your car
look, if you race the car, your on your own. Manufacturer do not have enough fund to support everyone's racing program. They offered the car, it's up to you to do what you want with them.
If manufacturer warrantied damages and any related issues caused by racing, do you think these car would cost the same amt it cost now?
You pay for everything, nothing is free.
i read some of the other posts from this guy. He had it coming.
No car is bullet proof.

^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
the gt-r35 is a piece of sh*t covered in sh*t dipped in sh*t baked in sh*t eaten, the sh*tted out and then thrown up on.

The Carbon Fibered R6
Again.. based on 1 car?
And uh, sorry to hear about Leisa.
No, based on all of them. Did you even read the thread were Porsche called nissan's b*tch ass out?
Where did that come from? Leisa is Brett's wife.

lol just because they called them out doesnt mean its true. Driving with the VDC off doesnt void the warranty people. its the driving data from the Ecu that did for him..
yeah it did

This is nothing like any of the problems you suggested. I highly doubt that this is in some way a manufacturer's defect considering the circumstances. Why don't you inform yourself a bit more about this particular situation?
PS: Can any of the Ferrari/Lambo/911 (Turbo, GT3, GT3RS, GT2)/Etc. owners chime in with their warranty manuals on whether or not THOSE companies include abuse under their factory warranties? I'd love to know about that.

yeah it did
But that wasnt why they voided it, it was becuase he drove Too much with it off.
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.
