Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - 2010 GT-R Warranty Voided For Denying Nissan Access To Your Black Box Data

No, what's new is that Nissan is the first company to produce a supercar and then demand you drive it as a grocery-getter. Voiding warranties for using launch control, going on a racetrack or airstrip, or turning off VDC is unheard of in the supercar world. Supercars are MADE FOR RACETRACKS. Nissan missed the boat and thinks everyone should drive their GTR as if it's a Sentra. And this is without modifying anything on the car. They are so concerned about your use of the car, it makes one feel that they put it together with glue and paperclips assuming it will fall apart if you use it to its full potential.

While I love my 370Z, I agree that this could be my last Nissan. I've never before experienced such poor customer service. While I'd love a GTR, I'd have to have the mindset that I'm buying it without a warranty (or just start modifying it right off the bat). Otherwise, the extra $30k you'd spend for a 911 turbo is worth the money with respect to customer service, quality of service work, and longevity of your warranty. If I'm spending that kind of money, I at least want a car that I can take to a track without worrying about some black box logging my activity so the bigshots can strip my warranty.
