i think it all has to do with the nickname of godzilla. people thought the gt-r was invincible before since it was never avalible over here, and the information was lacking and a lot of times incorrect. all we would hear about are 1,000hp monsters that shops overseas built for tons of fucking power. we didn’t know about little quirks and cost of ownership. it’s assumed reliable because its a nissan, but were use to nissans being cheap to fix so when its expensive with the nissan name everyone crys about it. it’s a tad ridiculous.
