I know someone that can fix that. Nissan should put him on a retainer now.

Holy cow, if that car wasnt launched, that is AWEFUL.

The car hasnt even been out a year yet. Wait until people start getting 20k, 30k + with hard miles. My goodness.

wow, slamming the US. Rednecks? I beg to differ, I think your country has more people with missing or dirty teeth than mine, so who are the real rednecks. Oh, and with Clarkson making fun of american cars, well, the pot calling the kettle black. It wasn't until owned by ford that Jaguar could make a car that didn't have massive electrical problems. Rovers are pure crap. About the only descent car is the Aston. Well, keep off the insults or I can continue on this tirade quite easily.

Can you provide more details? Was warranty denied? Was this an early JDM model with the oil pump issue (fixed before USDM version shipped, and covered under warranty in Japan)?

You know I just can't get over the looks of the GTR and it's weight, I saw one the other day and they tried to dress it up, but it just doesn't do anything for me, you decide:

Oh no, this thread is quickly heading into the gutter! HC started a popular thread and we are trying to sabotage it. Back on task now!

Well, looks like the Vspec will be priced around $153k. Rumor has it the extra $70k is to cover the cost of 3 replacement trannys.
