    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 spend money on HP not Brand Names.

    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:
