I agree “Nissan Warranty” what warranty I am one of those Patrol owners that have an 18 month old patrol that has never been driven close to Nissans “tough” claims yet the clutch has died. Then got told by nissan its fair wear and tear and it will cost $4000 to fix so much for 3year 100,000 km warranty

Why – well its all about image [or should I say the Badge].
If the car has a respected iconic name or even cult status such as the GT-R; There are those who won’t particularly care about how inferior certain parts of the car are [let alone the car itself]; they will learn to live with the various problems or quirks that the car may have…. they just love the fact that they are able to say “I own a GT-R”…. and the car companies know it.

Why build a car with a flimsy transmission, sell it, and when people use it as intended disown the warranty.

Typical Nissan warranty – just ask Nissan Patrol 3.0 diesel owners how good the Nissan response is to poorly designed engines blowing up. In Europe they were all replaced, in Australia the owners were mostly shafted…..

That’s a brains trust comment all right, considering the car is built in Japan. How is it anything to do with Nissan USA and in particular what sort of logic concludes that a Japanese car built with a weak geargox is related to all things American?

So what happened to those owners that already damaged their transmissions before LC2 was introduced?

According to an article I read Oz delivered GTR’s don’t get the much vaunted launch control (is this true or not?) so instead of the much talked about 3.5 seconds 0 – 60mph we Aussies have to make do with a paltry 4 secs 0 – 100km/h. 4 seconds is fine thankyou very much. Even in stock form without launch control the GTR would blow 99.9% of the cars on the road into the weeds. So why even risk the tranny for only a couple tenths of a second?

Yes.

Yes and no, it’s kind of hard to dump the clutch @ xRPM in an auto…
