I agree with 97-SC300; they should have bolstered the transmission or ensured through some electronic trickery that the full load didn't get put down during launch. Sure it would have been a bit slower, but it also would have saved some transmissions. Good ol' French.. ahem I mean Nissan engineering.

The GTR release and these problems make it so shady to me; the trap speed and horsepower numbers that didn't add up, etc. And yeah, if you bring up problems with the GTR or something you don't like, you get flamed for it by all the fanboys.

Luckily, I don't care much about getting flamed and don't mind handing out my fair share; as many of you know
Not to mention that ridiculous Nurburgring debacle. Everyone knows that Nissan sent a "modified" version of the GT-R to the track and when the Germans cried foul, they had a stock GT-R sent to the track and what were the results? You guessed it, nowhere near the numbers Nissan claimed!

It's just a car and no one here owns the car except for 1 or 2 and they are not having problems, the same can be said about fast food, all these commercials with thin people eating garbage, and then you go to a sonic or McDonald and you see people who look nothing like you see in the commercial, it's all about lies and deception.

Corvettes are built like crap but people still love them it's just a car

I can't explain it......how can you explain Nissan halting GT-R production and then coming out to the media about concerns with their traction control

Have you not ever heard of any major manufactures halting their production line?

It's actually very common, among the foreign auto makers, Ford did it once a couple years ago with the Cobra and Aviator

Where is this guy now?

"UGH you are so thick man.

How do you know GTR transmissions have issues? Do you know anyone personally? Or do you just read junk online and feed yourself on it?

I have about 1000 Track miles on my GTR. Car only gets better by each session as it breaks in. How I can down shift the Borgwarner gears while at the apex is sublime, unmatched by anything I have driven before. have a dragged it? no. such car are not built for it. There is a lot more to this car then 0- 60 times.

anyway talking about if the car can handle the stress from the LC?
well here is a proof that you my friend have jumped on some retarded bandwagon "
GTR is a great car but what are you talking about dude? you're calling me thick and retarded because i THINK that if nissan didn't want their customers to use the LC swtich than they shouldnt have put one in???how is that retaded??????????? wouldn't it be less of a headache for you and them right? don't you feel temped by looking at your switch?????

when did i say anything about transmission issues? i'm talking about the SWITCH

my argument is that if nissan didn't want customers to use the LC than there shouldn't be in a LC switch in the car. simple as that.!!!. Don't put **** in the car to temp the customers and be like "oh your **** is voided because you flipped the switch" that's dumb on their part

All i'm saying is that if you buy a car that is advertised at certain spec then you should be able do it every time OVER and OVER AGAIN without having your **** voided...and if it can't do it without a switch then just don't put the damn switch in..

and why am I retarded again?

enjoy your GTR in good health and post pics when you have time
