Yep, just like the 10 sec 996TTs that have broken their tranny or halfshafts etc.........

Is it surprising that 10 sec street cars on drag tires with non-auto boxes break???????

Sorry to hear that it broke. I guess Quacker and co wont be using this particular gearbox as an example of Nissan craftmanship.

He ran 10.53 and it's going to cost him at least 18k, or more for an upgraded one. I doubt the Porsches were paying anything near that to upgrade the parts that broke, which was more of half shafts and and axles than the actual gearboxes. This is poor engineering on Nissans's part because the half shafts/axles should give themselves up to save the gearbox. Especially since those parts are much cheaper.

And most of the Porches are breaking parts running low 10's into the high 9's with much more hp, and rwd with a boat load of weight in the back. Hardly the same.

FWIW there are RWD comaros at 3900 lbs launching to 1.37 on those same tires he's using, so lets try to keep everything in perspective here, this isnt moving the earth here. 996 GT2 on PS2's with flash and exhaust ran 11.0 @ 130 mph. Add mickey thompsons and..................

I hear the Flat Earth Society need a new PR guy - I think you'd be great at it.

1. Stock: Tranny breaks
2. Modded: Tranny breaks
3. Aftermarket Tranny: Tranny [Should] break because you're not using a geniune nissan tranny + fluid.

Sooooooooo what is the customer supposed to do in this case ? ask for a refund or get screwed as usual by nissan and fix the sentra box and put it up on ebay and add a bunch of lies about how awesome this car is according to the fanboys/cheerleaders at 6speed...........

2008 incidents:
- Subscription of Trolls, Fanboys, Cheerleaders, Nutswingers at 6speed has risen 99.9999999%
- Z07 is popular and changes locations with every new username he chooses.
- Nissan GTR comes to America (July/2008)
- Nissan GR6 breaks
- Trolls are not convinced, they need to see a log of how many times the car has been launched (for gods sake the GR6 is JUNK!) Junk trannies from Nissan since '89
- Nissan GTR makes it way through ebay 80 ~ 100 cars (Asking price $75k ~ $110k) it depends how stupid you are to even look this car up
- Nissan Service Center voids warranty if you Launch the car "LC On"
- Drivers Republic proved that the GTR doesn't feel like a supercar *7:2x*, not even with Dunlop Sp Sport tires (480hp/3800lbs/Fart) and it was slower on a wet/damp surface vs 997 GT2 on MPSC - What a joke!
- Nissan GTR shaft breaks while road racing (Cobb tuning)
- Nissan GR6 breaks (Modded) people mod/replace the tranny, but who's ready to listen ?
- Trolls and the rest of the followers still believe in ring time: 7:29 upto this date

Happy X-mas and New year to all......ho ho ho hahahahahaha

Well, at least that mod shop has one guy it can call to get a busted tranny. There are probably no more busted trannys because no one uses the LC any more.

He's the TROLL?

He's owned more GTR's than anyone posting on this thread and is probably more qualified to talk than any of you about the GTR

Would you stop your sense drivel about the PDK that no one knows about. It was probably started by you anyways.

Find me more on this please. I have asked nicely. But you can't can you?

He's a kid with an agenda.

I doubt he has even set eyes on a pre-R35 GT-R.
