Unbelievable really!

That is outrageous! I think the value of these cars will go in the crapper after people start to hear these stories. What a pity. poor owner.

wow just wow!!

That car has more stupid crap going on with it than cool stuff. It goes fast, yay. Everything else = BS.

So much for Nissans being more cost friendly to maintain and repair

you gotta pay to play, nothing is free after all! You get truly monumental performance in the GTR for a bargain-basement price, there has to be a price to be paid somewhere I guess. Although that styling should be punishment enough. Sucks to be a GTR owner I guess.

hearing all these GTR repair horror stories makes me wonder why anyone puts up with it.. if I was driving a Datsun and had a repair issue that big and that stupid I'd be pretty livid.

Because it's worth it.

If I tell people that my M5 had over 10 grand worth of repairs (covered by the extended warranty), then they'd look at me as if I was an idiot. But this car is pure joy to drive, so it's worth it.

Did you read the post and see the pics? Based upon your response I would guess not. This guy paid 11,000 pounds for little to no damage. The pedestrian system requires a replacement ECU as well as rams...

Something doesn't seem right with the pricing or he got screwed over bad. If there was real front end damage I could see those kind of prices, but that is not the case here.
