More Stupid GTR Warranty BS

[_Christian_]

Which is good of them, but from what I've seen of the Z06 warranty paperwork Chevrolet doesn't cover that either.


Don't see how Nissan's gone insane with their warranty on the GT-R...Ferrari is actually quite specific about what they will cover depending on what modification you do to the car and will happily tell you they'll fix what you broke if you pay for it. All Nissan has done is reaffirm that they will not fix problems caused by the OWNER OF THE VEHICLE or anything the OWNER does to the car under the terms of the warranty which represents a promise by the manufacturer that the car comes from the factory problem free with routine maintenance for a given period of time. The warranty on a new Honda Accord has basically the same wording in it, and I can't figure out why people are so upset. Hell, when Chrysler was offering that unlimited powertrain coverage they made sure that they stopped anything that modified the engine to increase output that affected the failed system wasn't covered. Specifically anything that increased output and the transmission failed afterwards, they were going to think long and hard about whether or not they were going to pay for that transmission.

Please people, don't be unrealistic with your expectations that Nissan is going to somehow magically cover all of your problems. If you don't like their rules, simply don't buy one. If the car cost what an F430 cost and came with this kind of warranty I could see the complaint, but the car costs what a new BMW M3 costs.

Not everyone buys it to mod. Nissan also regulates where and how you use it. You can't use launch control or turn VDC off. There's a difference between modifying your car and using a feature INCLUDED on the car. So you get a tease of a performance car that you can't fully use, or a performance car with no warranty. Sorry, but I can't have faith in a car when the manufacturer doesn't.

My thoughts on this....


Nissan sold you a $200,000 Super-car-annihilator for $80,000. They already gave you an insane deal.... they can't clean up after you, too. If their tranny is that exspensive, but a very awesome design... one should not abuse it.


What other cars luanch 0-60 in 3.3 with awd and a 3800lb chassis? Are they under $100,000???


I kinda see where Nissan is coming from. They are giving you the goods up front, but it's up to you to be deserving of it. The guys on the Ferrari budget, can buy the GTR for a daily or track car and have all the fun they want with it. After blowing 3-4 transmissions, they will still be out-of-pocket LESS than a new Ferrari F430 owner would.


My cousin just bought a 2009 E92 M3 BMW, but he's not planning on getting too crazy with it, because he knows he needs that warranty for awhile.

Is it capable of doing so without launch control or traction control?

The GFF required by the manufacturer to warranty a transmission would not give away a turbo kit. It would be up to the Service Dept at the dealership to inform the factory the car is modded.

well, all I'm saying is that it happened.
