TOKYO — Porsche’s GT-R had something over 3,000 miles on the odometer. Its tires were in tatters. The brakes were terminally toasted. None of the fluids had been changed. Mizuno inquired whether the transmission had been recalibrated following the recommended 1,200-mile break-in procedure as specified in the owner’s manual. It had not. Mizuno provided new tires and new brakes, changed the fluids and recalibrated the transmission. And then he carefully explained the driving techniques that are required to help the GT-R do its best (as a former race engineer in charge of Nissan’s effort at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he knows his stuff) and sent them on their way.— Kelly Toepke, News Editor

That has to be the worst pile of excuses on earth…

here’s a though, how about Nissan builds a car right?
