Nissan NA GT-R "Specialist" told me personally that the only tranny failures not covered under warranty so far have had "many more then 30" launches. 50+ is just my guess.

There are about 1500 GT-R in the USA now (delivered and in customer hands), with volume deliveries starting in August. People started throwing out BS stats like "30+ bad trannies" and "5 bad trannies just in my area," etc. These claims started flying around about a month ago.

If true, we should be hearing about multiple additional failures each week, right?

No new cases reported in a long time (and only handful of truly documented cases to begin with).

What conclusion do you draw? And based on what facts?
