Ive spoken with a GTR owner and all about the transmission issues in question. He said GTR trannies are burning out/breaking under 1,000 miles and/or with out proper break in. Nissan will cover your transmission if it breaks if you've done proper break in, taken it easy on the car and not reached high rpm's before the 1000 mile break in period which is "suggested" when you buy the car, and int he manual. The GTR's with broken tranny's have been getting tracked since 0 miles (essentially) or haven't had a proper break in.
