Fanboi's... don't shoot the messenger...

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.

Hmm.. I wonder if BlueBat knows this. Heh.

Ahhh, can't wait to see it tomorrow night at his meet!!

 

Sounds like the Ford GT.

 

Lol sucks for the owners of one!

 

you forgot the massive dealer markup. approx 30+K on markup alone! crazy... there goes my plan of getting one. i seriously was getting one, but with the markup... ill stick with either isF or the new m3, or heck i might just get a 240sx and mod the hell out of that car... RB swap anyone? Hmmmm!

 

looks like i will have to stick with the lexus IS-F. That is if i ever have the money.

 

LOL. you guys seem surprised. It's a Nissan. Nissan has built nothing but crap since the "Shift_" era.

 

even still..its a BAMF x2. its so sick...but i bet if you can afford it, fluid $ wont be a problem

 

very true. the tranny, now thats an issue that needs to be addressed.

 

i wouldnt believe all that, "so i heard" crap

until an acctual GTR owner can confirm this, its all hearsay

 

all of this doesnt surprise me.. not even a little.

 

What do you do to make that kind of money, and are you guys hiring? LOL

 

good thing id never own one cuz they dont have a MT option

 

x2

 

wow. and is bluebat getting one?

 

I disagree with most of the claims. Sounds like total BS. Time will tell but definitly raising the BS flag on this one.

 

well, i had some suspicions about the GT-R after watching top gear...i noticed that each video they had of the GT-R, they had a different one.

when jeremey raced the bullet train, he had a red one, then the next day, he went to actually drive it on the track, and he has a grey one, and then when the stig got to drive one on their track, it was a black one...why couldn't he use the same GT-R for those videos? i mean, i know the last one, the stig drove, it was back in england, so it makes sense that there was a different one there, but for the one where they were two days, back to back in japan...why couldn't he use the same one?

 

I find it odd my buddy with a 950+whp g35 on a stock tranny can launch his every weekend at the track on a 2 step system, and the gtr can only launch 15 times *LOL* Just pulling a number out of the air like that for how many launches it can take show it is total BS. Sorry not falling for it. Same BS was said about the STI, Then the Evo when they first came out. What a crock.

 

First of all,
Epic.

The price of everything doesn't surprise me at all; it just falls under the "gotta pay to play" category for me. Black box is a bit surprising, but not unexpected, since you've got a little nanny inside the car telling you how and where to go fast, anyway. The "15 launches" thing seems a bit exaggerated, but you have to figure that a single component failure in any part of the drivetrain is going to be catastrophic after a while when you're launching as hard as the GT-R does.

 

15 launches?!?! this isnt 1985 damnit!

I would bet my $$$ that they would last more than 15 lauches.

i smell some BS
