1. Name one car that you can do any of that stuff to and take it to the dealership modified like that, and they will still honor the warranty

2. The GTR CAN go on some race tracks, it just HAS to be taken in for a maintenance after it, which is 2k-2k, depending, if NOT than the warranty can be voided.


what car company has the funds to repair a car that a person goes out and abuses on the track, and breaks something. its not Nissans job to fund your raceing dreams, they just build the car.

I've seen turbo'd g35's go in for warranty work and it has gotten covered. Same company...explain that...

the people that can afford one dont care about warranty

So you're saying that someone that can afford an $80K car doesnt car about having to replace a $30K transmission?

i mean it can do what it says it can do, and still keep it under warranty in stock form.

like selling a 14sec civic that runs perfectly, and the new owner goes out and mods it into a 12sec civic.. and faults the previous owner for it breaking...

What are you talking about? Not even close. It plainly says, take it to a track, void your warranty. Put it on a dyno, void your warranty.

[afwfjustin]

I think you are missing the point. They are going to honor the warranty unless the specific problem that needs to be fixed is aftermarket or they can link the damage to an aftermarket part that caused it. Just because you have mods on your car doesn't mean everything is voided.

The problem he is referring to is very well known amongst S2K owners though. Honda extended warranty is notorious for completely denying warranty work if someone has an intake or an exhaust system.

[RL...]

no car is perfect, and the gtr is far from it. But either way, you get a lot of bang for the buck. I don't see how ppl can be so quick to judge when they've never driven the car...

you dont need to drive the car to read the warranty info...

[koukis14]

I've seen turbo'd g35's go in for warranty work and it has gotten covered. Same company...explain that...

What was fixed? One of my customers has a turbo kit on his vehicle and I warranty his radio, window regulators...ect all day long. If his engine blows he is fucked unless he tows it to his house/shop and turns it all back to stock. Even though I knew he had it modded I'm not going to rat him out.....why? Because making the manufacturer pay for it retains customer loyalty, and 9 times out of ten if you do make them pay for it they cry up the ladder and you end up eating half the labor and your effective labor rate goes in the shitter killing your paycheck. Customer pay kicks ass but I'll take less money from warranty before I pay for half of it myself. Unfortunatly as far as the GTR goes, the service dept has no choice. Information has to be sent via internet to Nissan directly from the car. If they see something they don't like the repair gets bounced.

THIS is bull sit! And imean sit

[BobbyFresco]

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act, a car manufacturer has the burden to prove that any modifications done to a car has directly affected whatever issue may come up that may need fixing during the warranty period.

Edit: sorry for the repost.

Come on now..i aint spending that kind on money an don"t drive it hard!You don't see m3 or M5 breaking parts like that..Bmw know what you spend your money for..They could of do a much better job on the transmissions

[BobbyFresco]

Bmw isn't without its faults...there was a huge issue with the Vanos system on E46 M3's failing and numerous dealerships were not honoring replacement under warranty. One would think with all the r and d hours involved in developing a car that build flaws would not be an issue...I guess it all comes down to car manufacturers skimping on quality material when building these high priced cars...

Fail at example, lol.

Just leave it as, why would a company pay for someone who abused the hell out of the car and broke it and now they want it fixed for free.

its been said time and time again.. we all went over this warranty, thing before. last year when the gtr came out, about it removing the MPH restrictions, for certain tracks, and certain GPS locations. So the brain will know where the car has been. And if it has been it HAS to be serviced.. A guy on the GTR forums, has already done it, and he took it to nissan got it serviced, and went along about his business..

I dont know where you all are getting this idea, that if you modify a car. That the dealership is supposed to fix it, if it breaks. What is wrong with you all.. its been happening.

The people that complain the most about the GTR arent the owners.. the owners seem to be very pleased...so whats the issue.

This car isnt any special piece of equipment, it will break just like any other piece of machinery on the road.

[JITB]

its the same principle.. GTR a 11-12 sec car, chip the ecu, and al crazy bolt-ons, and its a 10 sec. car. You wont expect nissan to fix it when the tranny grenades, with all the mods on the Ecu.

How is it the same principle? LOL. There's a difference from buying a car from the DEALER and buying a car from PRIVATE. 99% cars that are sold private are sold, AS-IS. Buying from the dealer, you can MAYBE get some warranty depending how old your car is.

What if they just want to achieve the claimed factory performance specs?

[Terror]

Ok really? how the fuck are they gonna know the cars done either of these things? like your gonna walk in there saying "my brakes are all fucked up, i just got back from laguna seca" i mean... come on.

you take a simple example and analyze it...

The point was............

The car being sold can do what it says..in the way its being sold..


IF YOU WANT TO DO MORE! WE WILL NOT FIX IT IF YOU BREAK IT...

and then it breaks,lol.

[JITB]

What if they just want to achieve the claimed factory performance specs?

It can do it just fine in stock form...what the issue?

Ok really? how the fuck are they gonna know the cars done either of these things? like your gonna walk in there saying "my brakes are all fucked up, i just got back from laguna seca" i mean... come on.

it has all or most tracks on its GPS, so if it goes in that area or whatever, Its supposed to activate something similar to a CEL, when it leaves the area. And they can look it up at nissan and it will tell on you..

[JITB]

and then it breaks,lol.

hey...shit happens... cars break!

[HypnoToad]

hey...shit happens... cars break!

but some more than others.........like the car made by a company that is going under,yet still makes top performing sportscars that do what they say they can more than once,lol

you all act like GTRs are blowing up, left and right... Every car has it problems..roofs flying off z06's...lol remember that uproar..

It was the Transmission. I'll look for the thread.

You sure you mean the Z06 or are you thinking of the Corvette proper? The Z06 has a fixed roof.

[_Christian_]

It can do it just fine in stock form...what the issue?

Ya, all you have to do is disengage VDC..oh wait, there goes the warranty.

[Five*Star*]

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.

[JITB]

but they wont fix it even if its stock...

it says you should only turn off the VDC unless you are stuck, and should not launch it with it off, In bold print. i think it shouldnt be like that. But apparently it will harm the tranny, than so be it.

[JITB]

Ya, all you have to do is disengage VDC..oh wait, there goes the warranty.

where are u getting this from!!! you dont need to turn off the vdc to get these times. the vdc off is to get the electronics off, and to enjoy it better. if anything you will do better with it on.

[_Christian_]

Ok really? how the fuck are they gonna know the cars done either of these things? like your gonna walk in there saying "my brakes are all fucked up, i just got back from laguna seca" i mean... come on.

The Z06 has a fixed roof.

x2. Man has lost his marbles.

VDC must be off to use launch control.

[koukis14]

It was the Transmission. I'll look for the thread.

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.

u got me about the z06, i knew it was one of them vettes..


vdc off, isnt the issue either, its the repeated launch with it off... Ive done the reading the first time about this, and all the people that ive read, that have had the gtr issues. Have came from driving the hell out of it, and it breaking. You buy a 80k car, and you beat on it, you can afford to fix a 80K car.. its simple. thats why i own what i own..lol

[Twan0690]

What is the purpose of knowing telemetry of real world driving? Nissan has built a car you brag about but don't use. Does anybody know if they have ever been this strict?

[DieselNuts]

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

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

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

[koukis14]

I'm agreeing

[ISAtlanta300]

So what if it just went as a SPECTATOR? I see this being easily beat in court.

Who's to know what I went to a track for? It could have been to race, it could also have been to go to a car show or just to look at others race.
