Heart says GT-R, but brain says Audi. Too worried about DSG issues on the GT-R... yes, they claim to have fixed the issues, but I don't want a car that doesn't let me drive fast because the gearbox overheats... that forces me to go to the SC every time I drive fast, or use the launch control for like 3 times. That's just silly. And there have been too many broken GT-R gearboxes, despite those idiotic things like 3 launches, then go SC to replace the gearbox oil (which a) doesn't come cheap, and b) not every Nissan SC can do).

Basically Nissan knows their gearbox is unreliable and sensitive as hell, but they sell the car regardless. Shame on them.

Heh, traffic light and straight highway warriors. GTR is just a way for Nissan to make money, selling gearbox. Folks at gtrlife were screaming at Nissan for not even attempting to fix the box. Gimme 22k and you'll have a new box with the same tendency to poop given that you the owner just went over the line. Litchfields is a way to go.

Even if I were not to do those things (and why would I buy a GT-R then?), I don't like the idea of a car with such a big flaw.

VW/Audi may be blamed for using gearboxes that are JUST enough to handle the engine, which isn't a particularly good idea. But Nissan using a gearbox that can't handle the engine? That's just insane.

They, Nissan engineers, didnt expect their customer to be so impulsive when using the car. Though I think I have read maybe once an owner who lost the gearbox despite babying it. Yes it's the biggest flaw but I think the problem is inherent in the first model 2007 and up to 2010. 2011 version has been adapted to better software and parts but still wont gurantee abusive users.

Heh. Looking at this site seems that the gtr gearbox really and seriously has a lot to cover.
