That's what you get for buying a "cheap" supercar.

[Militant-Grunt]

Wow, what a great hypercar you can't even properly enjoy.

Anyone know if the previous R34 came with similar restrictions?

[Onese1f]

Every supercar has its little kinks and problems, considering that the people who actually have these are the one's who got early orders, it doesn't surprise me that people are going to encounter stupid problems. Clearly some people in Audizine have beef with the GTR and idk why. I do think Nissan were a bunch of idiots for making this car an automatic though. And no, The R34 didn't have this many problems with the differential afaik.

If i had the money and was interested in that car and they told me not to turn the VDC off ever and explained why, that car would have never left the car lot. I would take my money else where and buy a enjoyable car.

All supercars are brittle. Dont be ignorant.


An important factor in this situation is how many times he actually launched.

[Howard Hughes]

That's pretty silly.... you can't drive with the electronic gizzmos turned off and if you do they void your warranty because your driving style is recorded... that's great..

[JBM]

Funny I saw one of these when I went for a run tonight.

[cerfus]

I bet this guy drove this car hard as hell, there are guys saying that this happened because of his previous threads, meaning to me he beats the shit out of it. He probably didn't break it in properly and now its experiencing major problems. If I purchased this car and they told me to be weary about turning off VDC in the first 1k miles (thats what someone on the forum said) then I would go "easy" on the car for about 1k miles and then do the tune up and oil change.

exactly thats why guys on his forum are saying he "put this on himself".

Then I would try to figure out a way to turn off that stupid vehicle history recording ECU thing, there has to be a way to reset that without the dealer knowing, either that or just say fuck it and get it chipped :D !

lol, that pictures pretty funny.

And yea, nissan is dumb.

[Onese1f]

Riiiiiiight.

I disagree with that comment, but you are right in the sense that I have no idea wtf happened with that quirk on the GTR.

[ThirdStrike]

do you think a 500hp turbo v6 is just going to be bulletproof just because the altima is?
everycar has problems. there are trade offs with that much power and the small displacement. look at the b5s4. i dont expect my 500hp to come w/out problems.

i still to the gt-r no matter how many issues it has.. just like the 335i

Well in all honesty, yes, super cars are brittle. But it seems as though Nissan wasn't prepared to handle a super car. They don't seem to want to take on any responsibility of any of the faults this car has. Perhaps it wasn't engineered well enough, or perhaps Nissan is too frugal to take the heat for all these problems.

What does Nissan expect to do when these owners turn in their cars for maintenance, give them a 350Z? Lol.

[Coderedpl]

Why would they even give you the option to turn it off?
Or better yet, why would they give you all these options if using them will void your warranty?

it's a business, and they're always looking for ways to make money :D

LOL true.

Buuut...to play devil's advocate, the 350z > Audi in just about everything except awd and luxury.

Strictly my opinion though. (Flamesuit on)

[simona]

That is all over the web. Whoever would get his new GTR and thrash it is a dumbass. Its a work of art not a tonka toy. Those of you who dont like it cuz its a manual should first test drive or sit in it as a passager before judging.

Sat in my buddy's GTR and the thing is a monster. Its a true auto-manual. You can feel the clutch kick in just as if you use ur left leg.

[offroader1006]

that's why a porsche turbo is 130g's, and the GTR is only 80.

porsche's are made to be used, abused. it's in their blood. it's who they are.

the GTR is a hyped up, glitzy attempt at trouncing the porsche.

You honestly can't even compare the two. It's apples to oranges. (Almost) Every car that Porsche makes has some degree of racing heritage, the 911 GT3's and 997s all have racing pedigrees behind their name. Nissan is a regular Japanese motorcar company that happens to produce one of the most coveted car names of all time, the GTR.

Here's where the dividing line is. You say that P-cars are made to be used and abused, which is true, but why don't you take a glance at the racing heritage of the GTR? For their time, and class, the GTR's are unparalleled in their capabilities. The R33's and R34's hold numerous titles and accolades, as well as some very impressive times around world famous courses and tracks. Not to mention the R34 V Spec II Nur, which held the fastest lap time for a production car at the Nurburgring. The new R35 GTR had even better lap times for a car that costs a lot less than a 911 GT3.

Sure, P-cars will always be incredible purebred machines, I'm not denouncing them in any way, but you're gravely mistaken if you think this new GTR is nothing but a pile of crap on wheels. Watch what happens when the Vspec version comes out with an MT.

i never tried too, its Nissan who made the comparo.

very true, but Nissan tried to break the mold, and make a supercar instead of letting the same formula that worked the previous generations, make a name for itself. the R33 and 34 are known to be overbuilt from the factory, but don't make use of untested(not enough, at least) technology(gearbox-launch control) like the new GTR.

i thought you couldn't compare the two? j/k

the lap times are all unofficial, and the independent tests are 20 secs slower than Nissan's claims.

but you're gravely mistaken if you think this new GTR is nothing but a pile of crap on wheels. Watch what happens when the Vspec version comes out with an MT.

i never said it was a pile of crap. i was just stating that i believe Nissan bit off more then they could chew by not using the same formula that made the R33-34 great, but rather trying to build a machine to go head-to-head against a 997TT.

if they would've revised the RB26 and the manual gearbox that accompanied it, then kept designing outward, i feel they would have a better car.

Seems they were "Keeping up with the Jones'," instead of just doing what they do best.

[tdn]

LOL true.

Buuut...to play devil's advocate, the 350z > Audi in just about everything except awd and luxury.

Strictly my opinion though. (Flamesuit on)

That's a broad statement, don't you think? I'd agree with maybe 350z > most Audi's.. but definitely not all.

(Pours gasoline into flame thrower)

[jzobie]

It is a shame that the transmissions are weak on these cars considering that, from what I read, the engine should be able to handle much more than its stock numbers. Engine modification is not something that many supercars offer. I would love to see this car with a manual trans, especially if it would mean better reliability. I will never buy a car without a clutch pedal, whether its faster or not, it just isn't the same.

[belinko]

Agreed with Offroader1006!!

[NJ_A4_Lion]

I was on the highway(in NJ) with a GTR tonight in my A4... All I can say is wow... I pulled up next to the guy going about 80 and asked him to "show me what it has" I kid you not, he went from 80 to about 140ish in about 3-4 seconds. The car is fast, seriously fast, I hate to sound like a groupie but the damn thing is Ferrari/Lambo fast... There is really no way to compare it, we have all seen a stage 3+ s4 take off or a tuned corvette/mustang. However, this car would decimate most cars on the road right now... I actually thought about getting one for a split second but I am certain those things are cop magnets...

V-Spec hopefully

We’ve all heard rumours of a Spec V version of R35 Godzilla, known to many as the Nissan GT-R. Best Car has now rendered the car, based on leaked inside into from Nissan.

Spec V is the superformance version of an already pumped up sports car. By using several techniques even more performance can be wringed out of the GT-R. Of utmost vitality is that the car goes through a weight-loss programme, which means it may lose up to 100kg, which is the equivalent of a fully grown adult male of average weight. “Lose the man, lose the milliseconds” is Spec V thought.

Typically extra revisions include improved suspension, advanced roll cage and a reprogrammed all-wheel-drive system, named ATTESA-ETS. Power is said to be up to 382kW/ 512 bhp, coupled with an all-carbon fiber body, should make the Spec V not only quick as far more expensive super cars, but only handle even better than its Clark Kent self around challenging places like the Nurburgring. Steering should also be more direct.

[jzobie]

That is awesome to hear, I hope that they stick with the V Spec name rather than Spec V. Spec V reminds me of Sentras.
