Nissan GTR
 

Any truth to this?

Was at the nissan dealership today and was looking at a GTR that had the tranny removed and was getting rebuilt. Was chatting with the Master tech that was working on the car next to it and he stated that the tranny was being rebuilt. Asked him if it was covered under the power train warranty and he stated that it wasnt being covered since the guy was racing it at a track. I took a step back almost. I mean I knew it wouldnt be covered but I was wondering immiedatly how they knew. I couldnt see anyone openly admitting they fragged the tranny on a closed course track due to voiding the warranty. So I asked him how they knew? He stated they pulled what he compared to a data logger on the GTR that nissan put in it for this specific reason. Once nissan reviewed the data they determined that he was racing it and he fessed up, but told them to fix it even if it isnt under warranty and he would pay for it so he could get it back on the track. I asked him if they had the same thing on the 370z and he said it wasnt, only on the GTR since it is marketed for that and there are people that will by it and make it a track rat.

True or false?

As far as I know I heard its True with the GTR.

anyway to skip paying repair bills

How the hell do you blow an automatic transmission on a stock car? Launching it I presume?

I thought the GTR GPS recognized race tracks via location and disabled the speed limiter etc. Maybe this was only the model in Japan?

Not sure if srs...

This.

The early gtrs had this black box so to speak so this absolutely true. I think they got rid of them tthough, not 100% sure.

As far as blowing the stock auto. Same thing, early gtrs had faulty launch control that would kill the transmission if done too often.

Gotcha. I heard that too but I thought it was just trashtalk from Nissan haters.

I have heard of both Ford and GM going so far as to even cruise car forums and YouTube and present evidence from both to deny customer warranty claims on drivelines.

Which year model's of GTR has faulty launch controls or I would say faulty Tranny?

08/09

If you're racing a GT-R? Warranty shouldn't be the owners concern from jump street.

I think it is crummy to produce a performance car and then void a warranty when the buyer takes it to the place where it is actually responsible to test the car's limits.

But yeah, this is old news. This has been going on since the GTR came out.

:iagree:

I have to agree with you too.

I'm not surprise if that is true. In fact, I'm more surprise if they don't enforce that policy to all vehicles.
