nissan USA is not the whole world though.
there are nissan dealerships in europe, asia, etc. What they did was rediculous though, because if you should not switch off Traction Control, how are you gonna drive it on a race track?
Secondly, If you mention GT-Rs with broken transmissions, why not mentioning Ford GTs that never finished any road trip (Ask Jeremy Clarckson from Top Gear), or Ferraris and Lamborghinis that went through car washes, and then they had engine problems (it happened even in Greece!).
Nissan USA made a big mistake, but we dont know the policy of other Nissan dealers, outside the USA.

We could talk about the quality of fuel in Africa but it would be as relevant as Nissan's warranty policies outside of North America for the majority of people on this board.
Don't try to divert attention away from a failed warranty policy.....this kills the car.

How do I divert the attention when I repeatedly mention that Nissan USA made a big mistake with the GT-R warranty?
I mention other supercars, because the GT-R has to be put in a context. It is not alone out there... and definetely it is not a supercar in terms of price tag!
It's funny, I've been waiting for the other shoe to fall ever since the GT-R came out. Believe me when I tell you that I am a big fan of the car, but I always questioned how can they make a car like that for 70k? Nissan had better address this issue and nip it in the bud, or they will lose a large number of potential customers.
I have been contacting dealers about buying a GT-R; I have just been waiting for supply to begin to equal demand. This whole issue about the transmission failures and Nissan not covering the very large cost to fix them under warranty due to VDC being turned off, has made me re-consider my purchase; at least until its resolved. I am not one to probably ever use LC, except perhaps once or twice to see how it 'feels', but would be using the car hard during DE events. Now I don't know if Nissan would cover any repair when the car has been used for the purposes for which it was supposedly designed due to the information they can obtain from the 'black box' in the car.

Hush fanboi, you and Kansai22 need to huddle up and see how you are going to attack this board with GTR propangda.

'For the April 2008 test [the 7.29 lap time], the GT-R carried an additional 50kg of weight due to the Marelli data recorder and video camera equipment. In addition, the test was witnessed by 'Best Motoring' magazine from Japan who reported the test in their July 2008 issue, which included a DVD program of the session' read the statement.
Nissan says it offers two tyre choices for the GT-R - Bridgestone POTENZA RE070R and Dunlop SP SPORT 600 DSST CTT - 'and for the tests conducted at the Nurburgring where the lap times of 7:38 and 7:29 were recorded, the Dunlop tyres were used.'
Kazutoshi Mizuno, Chief Vehicle Engineer and Chief Product Specialist for GT-R, said: 'We have used circuits like the Nurburgring and Sendai extensively during the development of the GT-R. The fastest lap-time was never the objective but a simple parameter for us to measure the GT-R in a consistent way against other world class supercars.'
'Testing a car with specialized parts such as unique tyres or suspension has no meaning for us. The GT-R was designed from the start to be a supercar that could be driven anywhere, anytime and by anyone. For us, testing the car in standard production specification is far more relevant than creating a one-off vehicle that our customers cannot buy.'
I wonder how adamant Nissan N.A. was to demand that all the car magazines testing the GT-R MUST NOT use launch control...considering it would void the warranty and would not be indicative of the car's everyday performance... yeah right!!!
