Re: Nissan GTR engine failure recall in some parts of Europe

blueflame:

I think the Lotus Group was an a cooling down lap because of high transmission temps.

Blueflame

Actually they were complete NoS newbies - moving chicanes Smiley BTW the 996 GT3 RS was on street tires (PS2) and it was it's fifth day ever only at NoS (though very experienced track driver who also owns a 996 Cup). Not sure whether the GT-R was already modded that heavily at that time (Spring 09).

So in the real world, GT-R drivers are more skilled, take more risks and the engines have more than 620hp with carbon fiber everywhere.

Got it.

There are comments about the video you posted that the car has been modded and that he is a very skilled driver. It's clear you've only come back to troll and not discuss reality, so what ever.

Nooooo, thats a little exagerated, you see, initially its not that way at all, thats only after they realise that the car does not deliver that they are forced to improve their skills, take more risks and upgrade the engine and loose weight in order to keep up with the GT3's

Sure but I think that's a good thing. I never understood what's so great about cars that are difficult to drive. It's all good and great fun when you master it but when you're suddenly drifting towards a tree or barrier, not so much fun anymore.

If some of you enjoy driving ill handling cars here's my advice: 0,8bars pressure on the right rear tire and a bit of oil on brake rotors. Super exciting at high speeds!

Re: Nissan GTR engine failure recall in some parts of Europe

Walter what is your favorites sport cars? From what I read you dislikes Porsche´s.You only like cars with large safety nets like GTR´s, am i right? They are in my shopping list but well below.I like cars that are more involved with the driver,more connected with the road, that challenge me. if not they are plain boring.

Simply solution to all the GTR failures, don't drive the car and park it in the garage like Ferraris. Only drive it to renew insurance, be careful not to drive too much or it will break.

Well, to put that observation back into perspective, that American web site is called "Import Tuner" and the author bears a Japanese surname, both suggesting that Japanese cars might come in for special attention, and the cooling system improvements are meant for application to cars tuned for track use, not as fixes for inadequately cooled street machines.

Re: Nissan GTR engine failure recall in some parts of Europe

I have 5 friends who bought the GTR, 1 guy who doesn't drive fast had a engine breakdown within 6000km (he doesn't drive fast, bought the GTR for the looks), 3 had gearbox troubles, all withing 15000km (these driving pretty normal for car buffs), and one guy who drives lights out in ANYTHING doesn't have any trouble, but then again he kept the car for a whole 3 months before he switched to a GT3RS.

Re: Nissan GTR engine failure recall in some parts of Europe

Pentium:

Damn! All five japanese!

I owned only one japanese "sports car" in my life, a Toyota Celica 4WD Turbo. At that time, it was very nice looking but the brake system was horrible. Toyota had to send two engineers to check my car, they installed new rims (super super expensive rallye sport rims) for better ventilation, they modified my front to allow air ducts to be mounted which bring more air to the brakes (this alone costed them thousands in development money according to one engineer) and they installed different brake pads which of course started to squeak. A new brake system was out of the question because they simply didn't have anything street legal available at that time to be compatible to the Celica 4WD.

After a couple of hundreds of km of heavy Autobahn driving (no track !), the brakes starting fading again, it was hopeless.

So Toyota (or better said: the dealer) took the car back but it was a nightmare for me because they were pretty p.ss.d they couldn't make me happy. The problem was still there though, the second engineer confirmed it during our last testdrive.

I never bought a japanese car again, simply because of one bad experience. Maybe newer models are better but the Nissan GT-R surely doesn't raise my trust in japanese sports cars.

Re: Nissan GTR engine failure recall in some parts of Europe

RC, I am not comparing apple with oranges but I am trying to compare my "mule", the mitsubishi outlander, with suv's from the same category and I must say Mitsu's brakes are the worst I ever had on a car. Ever. Also "the mule" it's the only japanese car I ever bought and the only time I ever bought an SUV. I was in need of something big, cheap and with AWD and ground clearance.

For sure I will think twice next time.

As my last car was a 2009 Lexus LX 570, I can tell you there has been no improvements yet, but I hear the LFA ($375k,000) can get you to zero in no time.
