do not launch your gtr or take the vdc off, time to bend over guys its gonna hurt I told all the fanboy's on these forums, but noooo they didnt want to listen!!!!


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.

That's fucking bullshit. So, they build a car that can't handle it's own power?

Go to post 89.
That's where the owner starts offering details of how many times he used launch control (abouty 20), but does not explain why he was driving with the VDC off so much.

yeah but not usually after 20+ launches, hell the puny crap that ford put in the stangs usually hold up a good while before they take a dump. good thing is there cheap, bad thing on the gtr is that they are gonna be very expensive..

im sorry but that shit is crazy. regardless of taking the vdc off or not i think its still nissans fault. Think the transmission must be a weak pos. Id be fuming either way with a brand new car and a payment that i cant even drive

Yup. I hope Nissan doesn't give him any slack for it either.
