That poor bastard? err...He bought a gtr.

Are they built crappy? Well they sure aren't a bnr32. At 15+ years most of our cars still have spunk.

I heard the launch control in those cars only last 12 launches before needing maintenance from the dealer.

It's common for drivetrain problems to occur when launching hard with older Nissan's. My R32 has damaged all 3 shaft's and diffhead from hard launching.

From what I have noticed Gearbox, drivetrain usually go when car is fitted with grippy tyres + hard launching.

With new GTR having grippy tyres + more weight, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it broke the gearbox.

on the same token though, you launch a lambo murcialago a handful of times and you're replacing the clutch. you got to pay to play.

hell i bet the guy didnt even properly break in his new ride, he prolly beat the snot out of it...

if i had the money to toss around and buy a R35 i would baby it, even without the LC its still a fast as hell car

beating on a car is a method of breaking it in properly...

beating on a car is a method of breaking it in properly...

The best way! imo

well he claim to have launched only 20 times since he own it. then two weeks after he last launched it, it broke. He also say that he can still run some gears and that only 2nd went and that nissan said it was destroyed gearbox.

20k to replace the gearbox...

common, cant the guy get the car, open the gearbox... contact quaifie then get them to developpe tranny part as they do for every other gearbox...

also keep in mind that it is very hard on a launch when a car is awd, you will always find the weakest point when you push it. Sometime its better to chose ahead where the weaker point will be... im just wondering why car company dont voluntarly insert weaker points. (sadly my car the gtir is plagued with weak gearbox also around 550whp +or- , why I wont run too stiff of a clutch)

Still doesn't make sense to include launch control with the car if it will severely damage the transmission that quickly.
