GT-R Problems

[RAFiK]

first lap record problems and now Launch Control problems ??

Quoted from Nissan GT-R Forums ..

I was driving my gtr two weeks ago and I heard a loud noise coming from the rear. I turned immediately had my gtr towed to crown nissan st. petersburg fl. They didn't touch my car only called some techs from tennessee to look at the car and record the noise, 4 days later two guys from japan to download some info from the car then left. Then I get a call from the dealer to tell me the news, and they told me that the car was driven without vdc too much and nissan will not warranty the transmission which they said was destroyed, I asked them how much to fix it they told me 20k, no freaking way I will pay 20k on top of what i just paid for the car. I called the gtr number and also talked to nissan consumer affairs got nowhere, now the car is sitting at the dealer. I know we shouldn't launch the car but why own it if you cant use this function, don't sell a car that goes 0-60 in 3.4 sec if the only way you can achieve this speed is to void the warranty , false advertising. Here is the bad news people were fearing it has happened to me and Nissan has told me there are already three people in my shoes, if you are one of these people email me, we have got to get together on this. Just think if any of you guys have taken the vdc off just a few times you have already voided your warranty, good luck what a joke nissan.

This sucks !!!

is that !! Rifo always launches his car with no fear of the gear box getting destroyed and here we have Nissan who says you void the warranty if you launch it..
"don't sell a car that goes 0-60 in 3.4 sec if the only way you can achieve this speed is to void the warranty" <<---- Agree with this..

You did atleast three times and by God's grace nothing happened, that poor chap was doing it for his first time...
Good Rifo, you learnt a lesson, I advise you never do it.. Push it hard once you're on 2nd gear.. rather than launch..

[RAFiK]

our clutches can handle up to 30 launches then it will start to wear out !!

Why would i ever buy a car that I can launch the way i want :thumbsdown: :dunno:

30 only? Dude! In the sprint challenge we used to do that min 10 times each round and we had 7 rounds!

i think the guys are talking about the launch control.. launching with a manual car can be better or worse, depends on the driver :)
