As a nissan salesperson after talking with our master tech, the only one authorized at the dealership to be able to work on the cars there are a few scary aspects of the warranty. Nissan states the car either has to be serviced every 18,000 miles, or every 1800 miles, if it is driven in a "racing" manner. If you drive it too fast/harsh and dont have it serviced at this 1800 mile interval say goodbye to your warranty.
and it takes more then a little 'fast/harsh' for the car to need the 1800 mile tranny fluid change, just ask chrisn
wow car forums sure spread a lot of poor info along with the good

i guess i just have a cheap old gt-r. you must have an expensive exotic.
my entry fees are costing more than my fluids.

i hope he reads the manual, it states right in there that but for the Perf Optimization Service you can DIY as long as you use the correct fluids

holy goodness +1.
unfortunately there are only ~1000 gt-r owners, but there are a lot more people talking about them like they are experts on a car that's only been out for a few months, as if they experienced this first-hand.
it's all - well this guy on the internet.... so it must be happening to all 1000 gt-r's, and i know exactly what happened, and all aspects of the discussion, because other people said so.

Fluid exchange program? The whole thread was started about Nissan not honoring a warranty due to how the car was driven.

Sucks to be that GT-R owner... MSRP + "Fair Market Value" (F.U.N.Da.***) Increase + $20k new transmission = Porsche 997TT.

For such a big heavy car going 0-60 in 3.4sec, something has to give.
Porsche could probably make the 997TT run 2 sec to 60, but it'll last a day...
Whats next for this GTR? don't corner too hard cuz it'll pop the wheels off?
