    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.

    How nice of Nissan to install a "void warranty" button on the dashboard.

    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 apparently, 2010's dashboard is a bit more honest.



    @ JITB, no, wasn't there Sunday. The easiest tell with my 7, is that my front bumper is gray not body colored and my wheelss are black mesh with a polished lip. you HAVE met me if you're who I think you are though. Were you the one that spun out on a patch of mud at last years Pine Mountain meet with the protege guys? If so, I was in my TII then.

    it looks to me any way you look at it the transmission is to weak for the driveline... other wise nissan wouldn't need a computer as an insurance policy. Im worried that if a stock GT-r with the vdc off will blow a transmission, the aftermarket wont be very good for this car. To bad they couldn't have just used the tried and true proper manual trans out of the r34 or at least made it an option.

    Magnussen-Moss doesn't apply to an option in the car itself really. It applies to the aftermarket, which this isn't. The GT-R is set up so that people who have the money and desire to want to race it, can. Those who want a street-ready supercar get that as well. Nissan was nothing but honest. Only way they could have been more honest is to put in the manual
    Driving with the VDC off will not only void your warranty, but break your transmission through the abuse! It's obviously not designed to be driving with the VDC off, but we gave you the option because we love our customers and have heard all the other supercar owners bitch about the fact that the supercar makers have been installing nanny's in their cars to keep people from tearing them up after 5,000 miles. If you want to break your toy, go ahead, we won't stop you. We could have just prevented you from having a launch control system at all, or a way to turn off VDC, but you would have just bitched about that then too, right?
