Calipers are covered (and everything else connected to the car), the rotors, however, only covered from defects.

I've developed a rattle (more so) in my drive line somewhere. I'm going to turn it in two weeks. I'll let you know what happened/happens.

Is it the flywheel issue?

That's what it sounds like. Rattling a LOT more than usual.

I'm looking for free fluids while I'm in there.

Taking your word/advice, have not yet really driven one yet am picking up a 2010 GTR with 1200 miles on it.

Hope to get to know what it is all about.

If you get a chance, you should really take a GT-R for a test drive. Don't expect refinement at a level of an F430 or 997, but gauge it on it's performance capabilities and overall drivability and let me know your thoughts. I think you honestly might be surprised. Member tblackj (usually hangs out on Teamspeed) also owns/owned a F430, 997TT, Gallardo and Ford GT and absolutely loved his GT-R.

It's interesting, but the car has inherent qualities to it that a lot of people end up really liking. Even those who have much more expensive cars in their stable.

That car looks really good in black.I'm not a fan of the GTR's looks, but I'm a sucker for black!

Damn! You don't mess around, that's for sure.

Hopefully you'll like it, but if not, don't blame me...I only recommended that you take one for a test drive!
