ITS BROKEN HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Well, you have to consider this is one of the first ones to need servicing, so they are most definately taking their time, and probably recording everything they are doing for future reference.

i've been working on a 69 camaro this entire summer too, runs tens all day long, street legal and very reliable horsepower. don't really have to worry about anything breaking. and i bet it would sell for under 90k. honestly yeah, they should have left out launch control. imho i should be able to pick what rpm i want to launch at, no?

Just so you know the launch control is an optional feature, in fact there is a 3-4 step process for enabling it. Launching the car like you would any other AWD would no doubt see the transmission last quite a while.

So, it has to happen. I think if there were a car that never broke down, or had issues.. I think that the world would collapse.

Plus, it's not like if you force the vehicle to propel itself at a stupid amount of force that the precisioned gears and linkages aren't going to be worse for the wear.

Launch control is standard.

[OldmanPurdy]

Launch control is standard.

I worded that wrong I meant was that it wasn't enabled every time you floor the gas not that it was an purchase option.

[Mr1der]

I cant think of a single twin clutch car that can handle it, $100K + or not.

yup.

I don't think an Enzo much cares for hard launches without baking a 10k or so clutch.

Still in the shop whwn i left.....

Keep us updated, I'm quite curious what all needs to be done.

[Murdered_T]

hahah the techs have been getting on it.

[r34 gtr]

I would too! They have seriously been getting on it though, whats that reference scale on the bottom, hours? haha.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

so uhh, its fixed?

I was talking with a couple guys at work today, and we agree, there should be an automatic clutch adjustment built into the car. It wouldn't surprise me if they are working on that right now, and make a patch to install in TCMs in the future.

Isn't there already a CIII based work support application to adjust clutch engagement?

[Murdered_T]

ok so the car is fixed, The evap canster was bad, they probably just overfilled the gas tank. The car DOES reprogram the transmission by itself, the Tech just has to hit like "ok" and "yes" and "accept current settings"He really just stands there.

And what's book-time and customer charge for this labor-intensive repair?

[Murdered_T]

103 BUCKS. One hour.

[Encryptshun]

I'm actually surprised it's not more. (I once saw my Nissan dealer charge a lady one hour's labor for "resetting" her TPS after putting air in her tires). Of course, the TPS alarm automatically goes off after 5 minutes of running the vehicle with adequate reinflation pressure.

[Murdered_T]

Actually it depends on what the alarm is doing, if it is just on, then yes, if it is flashing, then there is a problem somewhere in the monitoring system.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Well... I gotta ask...

How much does a consult III cost?

[SteveTheTech]

~$10,000 with the VI and MI and security key. It is not available to the public though. As a master you can't even get one without jumping through some serious hoops.

[SteveTheTech]

Oh plus you need to buy the dedicated Toughbook and have it constantly updated via download of giant files.

It's a great tool but not a DIYer as it takes some time and patience to get what you want out of it.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

We should develop a knock-off, have the chinese make it, and sell it for $100. It would pay for itself in 1 damn use. F paying for that, at that point, the dealership should be paying me for taking up my damn time for something that should happen automatically.

[SteveTheTech]

I would buy one , if it were not for the high speed interface needed to slow down the CAN signals to be interpreted by a user based system it would be a good idea. There is so much proprietary software that Nissan has developed for they newer systems and its getting much more intense. The system would need to still be based on a laptop due to the amount of work support functions the CIII needs to do and the shear memory space alone would be expensive.

I wish they would pay me too for the things it should do automatically, stupid flat rate.

[bmike818]

I wonder if these things are supposed to have a break-in schedule. You KNOW everyone just gets in and floors it with 0 miles haha.

nope..as I read in the GTR brochure..all GTRs are broken in at the factory. I believe its the second to the last page. It also states that each GTR is hand finished to make sure that the body is flawless.

more pics please!

[JustinStrife]

Glad I don't have to worry about something breaking after 15 launches...

For all the fanbois... This was on I-5 North last week. Driven by a 75 year old woman and her husband(she was the one driving).

[Murdered_T]

Meh i am over them now, we had that one in for repair, and sold about three of them, I think the red looks the best. But yea, its just another car to me now.

..Geeze I wonder if she has any grandchildren.

[JustinStrife]

..Geeze I wonder if she has any grandchildren.

Couldn't get on the other side of the car to show the old lady driving as traffic was a biatch(fatality over the shoulder a few miles up).

I saw another one when I pulled into work one Saturday with lunch for the boss and I, but the owner just pulled out and drove off after I got out of the car. Don't think he wanted to play.

Another broken GT-R:http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadt...n-gtr/

Had a fuel leak -- the techs shipped the gearbox out for analysis and installed an entirely new gearbox!

I think they said it was down over 10 days. The more I hear about the GT-R the less enamored I am with it.

[SteveTheTech]

It seems like they are doing R&D on the fly, I don't know why they would give a first run car to magazine editors.

That takes alot though to have them call for the whole fuel and evap system. It sound like there is an ORVR vacuum issue since the pump keeps cutting off. I wonder if they will have to replace the filler neck if the didn't already.
