So yea. Sounds promising. Sounds fast, for a couple of months.

*In my humble opinion.

I've always been on the fence about the GT-R but that is just ridiculous. I'm assuming they mean launch by using the launch setup with the car, not just preloading and flooring it. In any event, 15 times is pathetic.

that's what i thought. i mean wow. i've never been a fan of the gt-r and this just solidifies it. it's understandable for lets say a pretty decently worked sbc to blow a few turbo 350's that just means you're putting some power to the ground. but for a factory transmission to fail after fifteen launches in an unmodded car. sounds like nissan cut some corners pretty short.

Furthermore, I'm sick or people who never will buy, and never have driven the car bitching about it features. Seriously, grow up. Does someone else having a car without a clutch piss you off that bad? So you don't want an auto, so what? No one is forcing you to buy one. You want to drive a carb'd car with no electronics for the rest of your life? Fine. But don't ***** about progress. People used to ***** about FI and computers all the time too but we learned to live with them, and they have made our cars a lot better to live with.

I understand some mark up.... but $80 for a ****ing quart? $50 at cost?
I am sure its special formulation just for the car, but that is bull ****. $800 of fluid is a joke.

It would be cheaper if the fluid was filled with gold.

Even spreading R&D costs out.... Thats ****ing stupid. I know lubricants can be more complex then they would seem, but what is going on that that car needs something so specific? Other cars pull off automatically operated manual transmissions with out half a grand of fluid....

If anything breaks, it's probably the rear differential, But all of them are in the transmission at the back so yeah, it's called transmission anyway.

Brake job probably including rebuilding ALL calipers, replacing those massive rotors, etc. Not just changing the pads with Duralast. $6500 is probably after quite a few thousand miles. The GT-R, 911 Turbo type car doesn't get to see the road much so it shouldn't be so quick in 2 months.

If something goes wrong with the V6 engine, will they put the turbos on a 5.6L V8 from Titan? LoL That'd be like Gazillion Horse Power.

Lolz, bet that would have never happend if it had that extra pedal on the left.

No not like a gazillion hp....it would be godzilla sized power

But yeah, that is some mighty BS. Meh. Maybe someday we'll have the legacy back.

I think it's the paddle shifters that do it..

Wait, which one is the one doing the hot chick? GT-R or me?

The new GT-R will do her for you.

Yea it will prolly go something like this.....

Dealer: Yep your heated seats are broken.
You: Can you fix it under warranty?
Dealer: Sorry sir but the black box says you had sex on them and the warranty doesn't cover "love juices", also the black box tells us that the car had to finish your girl off for you.
You:

Of ALL people, you should know this isn't ridiculous.

Bulk oil breaks down to about .10 per quart... You pay how much at the dealer?
Oil filters by the pallet break down to about $3. You pay how much?
A packet of the popclips that Nissan uses for everything costs $8 for 1000 of them. You pay $3.98 for 4 of them.

A markup of 100% is a BARGAIN.

Yeah Nissan doesn't approve the location either. GPS confirms you were in a Jack in the box parking lot at the time.

Dude, it's right here:

And naturally if there was a clutch, all you pro drivers would handle the 470 torque expertly

That is called a dead pedal. It's a place to rest your left foot comfortably as it atrophies, like your driving skill as the car does it for you.

No, most would have trouble managing the power. Congradulations, THAT'S THE POINT! Having stepped into serious vehicles and realize it's up to you to DRIVE the vehicle, not ride along I can tell you sucessfully containing a beast with authority is an amazing experience. Sadly while the R is powerful and I am sure can be made unstable at extremes its driver will never really experience that rush that a real sports car that could kill you at any moment should bring on.

I want more sources to back that fact up. This **** is becoming a god damn witch hunt.

One of my techs just got back from a special Nissan training GTR deal. Here are some interesting Facts. -Can only launch the car 15 times before the transmission gives out. The most Nissan has got was 34 launches. -The fluid lists at 80 dollars a quart. It costs dealerships 49.99 a quart. The car takes 10 quarts. -The warranty depends on the driving, there is a black box in it just like an airplane. -Customers have to sign a waiver stating they will not complain about brake or transmission noise. -The brakes MUST be replaced at the same time, cost for replacing 6500. -If something goes wrong other than an oil change at the dealership, a special team needs to be called and your outta a car for a while. So yea. Sounds promising. Sounds fast, for a couple of months.
