Bye bye potential warranty claim?

People really should be very careful what they post in PUBLIC forums.
Well Mr. 2bits.. I'm sorry but we cannot honor your warranty because one of our techs believes he found proof of your wife hitting the rev limiter on several occasions during the break-in period of your new Z..

While I'm all for the tinfoil hat here and there, discussing issues that happen and looking for honest insight on problems should not invoke some secretive society to get a real answer.. or live in fear that your local dealer is dying to screw you out of a warranty claim by spending crazy amounts of time lurking in forums and documenting your alleged abuses..

We've all done some stupid things here and there with our cars, including pure enthusiastic abuse over others who baby theirs at all opportunity. This is most obviously an unintended 'overuse' of the cars abilities.. but I can assure you there are plenty others that will put the ropes to their new cars a 1,000 times more than this guy and his lead-footed wife..

good thing it wasnt a GTR... the black box would tell the tech not only how far she went at 7K but what she was listening to on the radio what road she was on what kinda drink was in the cup holder and what type of panties she had on

Good news is that the GT-R cup holder is insulated.. we found that out after tearing ours apart for the rally car.. so that hefty starbucks is good to go..

36 hours.. a battery charger... hit the start button without the brake.. you're good to go.. that's all the data-logger can hold..
