You're still doing that! Wow! I came a few times to Applebees but I hadn't realized that you guys moved back to Azteca's. I can't this week but I will next week try to come out. Sorry to get off topic.

 

No worries. Applebees was a temporary thing. The Azteca thing has been going on for maybe 10 years or so!

I can't make it this week either. I'm probably in for next week though.

Everyone will go nuts if they see a Scud.

 

Not necessarily... I've launched mine 50+ times, Nissan has no problem with this (they haven't since Jan of 2009). I'm not talking about my dealership, I'm talking about Nissan North America as well as GT-R HQ in Japan. They've personally read my box (something else I really like about the car - you can PROVE that you didn't abuse the car).

I've launched it, auto-x'd it, tracked it now almost 20 times - no problems yet.

Stock transmissions can handle well over 600whp. Not sure what you mean by frail...

Nice purchase!!! I've had mine for over 2 years now, and it still brings a smile to my face, everyday. It is tall enough to see over the Miata in front of you. I've done the Cobb AP + Y-pipe mod. If you get a custom tune, it is an easy 60-100hp gain. It also 'fixes' the power issue in the upper speed range (I like this for passing on the highway).

What year did you get?

 

I thought that the GTR had "frail" transmissions in their early cars. I guess they fixed it in 2009.

 

It was a solenoid issue. And it started back in '07 (JDM only).

 

Good to see they finally fixed that issue.

 

You may also be thinking about the LC debacle...

LC1 - 4500RPM, must disable VDC
LC2 - ~2500-3300RPM (you can play with throttle to adjust), can be done in either VDC - normal, R, off. But if you turn it off and launch, I believe you are susceptable to previous warranty implications. I haven't tested this out yet, because I launch in 'R', and have no problems with traction.
LC3 - 3000RPM must be in Manual mode, and up to temp (and I think VDC in 'R' - not sure).


2009 - came with LC1 - Nissan offered reprogram to LC2, if you upgraded, you were given 'amnesty' from any damages from LC1 (this happened in Jan '09).
2010 - came with LC2
2011 - comes with LC3

I prefer LC2, because there is nothing you have to do special to the car. Whatever mode you're in, whatever button configuration you have - mash the brake, mash the accelerator, release brake - hold on.

But all of these can be reprogrammed by the Cobb AP (006).

 

More hype. I did a ton of research and these issues are blown out of proportion as is everything on the interwebz.

 

I purchased a late build 2009 that came with LC2 from the factory. I also had the GTR tech run a check and the car had zero launches.

Nice white GTR

 

Wow it's been a long time since I came out to Taco Tuesdays! I'll try and swing by

 

Thanks!

You've obviously done your homework.

 

I'm curious as to how much head room do you have in the GT-R?


-Ian

 

GTRs have no sunroof so there's quite a bit of headroom.

 

More or less than a scud?

 

Don't know about a scud, but it has a tad more than my 360 did (which had a decent amount for such a low car).
