[Nissan GTR Launch Control Warranty Issue Resolved | PriceWheels Blog](http://blog.pricewheels.com/2009/09/20/nissan-gtr-launch-control-warranty-issue-resolved/) > Nissan GTR Launch Control Warranty Issue Resolved > Sep 20th, 2009 by Ross Edwards > It was widely reported that the giant killer Nissan GTR had some issues with regards to the durability of its transmission and Nissan’s willingness to honor warranty claims when the car’s electronics had been put in a specific configuration. That configuration happened to be the only way an owner could achieve the performance numbers like 0-60 and 1/4 mile times Nissan used to advertise the car. > This was a huge blow to the GTR’s credibility. What good is an $80,000 car that can outrun $200k supercars if it will break when used as advertised and the carmaker won’t stand behind it? Not much good, and Internet message boards erupted in hate for the GTR when the news of its fragility spread. > Nissan fixed the problem for its second model year by updating the computer and transmission, but customers who purchased the first run of GTRs thought these problems should never have come up on an $80,000 car and filed a lawsuit. According to Autoblog, as part of the settlement of that lawsuit, Nissan will upgrade all GTRs to the newer specifications for free. Nissan will also reset the warranty on any GTR to five years/60,000 miles when the upgrade is performed. > Now that Nissan has fixed the GTR’s launch control problems and is upgrading cars for free, will the GTR be recognized as a legitimate budget supercar? Or has its reputation been ruined by the problems with the first cars? ---

Well, if the car can actually be raced now without breaking then it will be a pretty bad ass car. Only time will tell, alot of people already have a bad taste for it though. ---

I still would rather have a used z06 and put the extra money into it though so i cant disagree with that aspect. I hear ya and I’m a big fan of the z06 and zr1 (I’m a former LS1 owner). It’s just funny hearing comments that it’s a shitty car. It was a horrible move to test out the gtr with the trac. feature and then not honor the warranty if it was launched this way. Nissan really had no choice but to do what they did. However, the GTR is hardly the only car that has any issues (most of which are common during the first production year of any vehicle). I’ve read that just recently GM has fixed the oil starvation issues on the Z06 caused by hard cornering for extended periods of time, and the z06 has been out a year longer than the GTR. The z06 vs. GTR comparison will go on forever. As for the ZR1, comparing a $77k GTR to a $110k ZR1 isn’t really accurate, wait for the V-specs for a better matchup. ---
