WTF??? LOL How many transmissions should a GT-R owner plan on changing? lol
Sounds like Mercedes SLR's engineering, just add a zero to the numbers on the thread.
Hell, even in SLR, if you open the radiator for reservoir inspection you need flush it because it got contaminated with air.

Wow craziness.
Joe I linked that pic to another forum, let me know if you have an issue with that.
LOL damn. I guess your expected to change out the transmission assembly once each 15,000 miles.
500-800 dollars just for the fluid? wow
The issue of Autoweek I received today has quite the article on the GT-R's black box. Up next: Mega warranties being voided.
This has ruined what love I had for this car and my respect for Nissan for sure.
15 launches per trans? Crazy, I guess you have to use that launch control only on very special occaisions.
I used to love the old Skyline GTRs, but since this GTR came out I really have lost interest, it's polluted the whole brand for me. I'll take an R32.
Is there a notepad on the dash with a pen hanging from the shift knob so owners can keep track of their numbers of launches by tallying them up? possible the pen is only good for 12 tally marks? what if you use a different pen to write on the notepad, does it void the warranty?
never liked this car personally..
Yeah man for real. I thought it was all cool with it's specs and all that, but it's too much electronics and weight and @!#$. I bet with less "driveablility for noobs" incorporated into this car and more bare bones giver @!#$, this car would be much nicer IMO! It's suppose to be a supercar for under $100k. Let's take some weight out of it and maybe add in a 6 speed manual (Who else here loves to shift?) and take some of that computer control out and let's see what's up then. But I'm no technician and have no idea what I'm talking about. I just wish it was lighter, less pussy driver oriented, and STANDARD!!!

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good. 
LOL
holy crap. that sucks.
does the zr1 still have gm's 100k powertrain coverage?
I don't see any special information on the ZR-1 for warrenty, other than its 100% parts return for the it, the brake rotors aren't covered if the car has seen track use, which I don't see a problem with you got be abusing the hell out of to screw up the ZR-1's rotors.
GM's been pretty good with Z06 and vette warranty, I've seen a Z06 come in with aftermarket calibrations on the ecm, modified throttle body and intake for nitrous, and 2 windows on the block. Took 2 months and 2 engineers to finally agree if customer buys new intake, throttle body, and pay for his own rental gm would replace engine but with no warranty on it.
Oh, and if you ever need an engine for either a Z06 or ZR-1 replaced, you have the option to have it replaced a bowling green assembly plant or dealership, and GM picks up the tab for shipping and transport.
Wow!! Is that a joke? Is Nissan serious?

The yearly cost to maintain this car will probably exceed $80,000....I would agree to some extent normally, but not in this case...........this is just asinine!
if the maintenece is seriously that bad this car will fail hard
I wanted to see this car get spanked by vettes and vipers and such
oh well

You have "buy" in your sig where "by" is the word you are looking for.

haha yeah it does a bit. I mean, little @!#$ wouldn't bug me a whole lot, but I figure if he is putting a quote permanently into his Sig, it should be spelt right. Not like a short hurried retort, it is his sig.

well that may be true to an extend its not always true. if your replacing the tranny that much and your warranty is voided, your gonna go broke quickly.
It really can't be that bad can it.....but if it is. Holy @!#$ this car is FAIL.
