GTR repair bills reach all-time high!

[Bluerat]

I love these cars but 11k? Christ!!!

Sounds like another Stealer nightmare scenario. It seems, from reading all the posts, that a lot of issues have been sorted out though. One of the guys just had a service for £200, or did I mis-read and miss an extra zero? As for the launch control, wasn't that removed after the problems in the USA? I think it would be interesting to see what the conclusion of this is once he has had the copy of the bill. Probably end up being £3k for parts & £8k for labour

It probably wouldn't be too hard to disable the system. A bit of a bummer if you hit someone but I think that will be the least of their worries.

Well just sat and read through it all...WOW i am seriosly considering buying a GTR next year and have to say i think ill do a bit more research now, i would be at my limit budget wise to beable to afford to buy and run one of these, so repair bill and insurance costs down the line would be a killer

 

hopefully the boys over at the GTROC will make some headway and get to the bottom of it

Just be glad they didnt fit the system to the 370 or did they?

 

 

 

the same thread mentions the 370z and the g37 with the same system

did always like the R34 but when it comes down to it the missus has a say and she doesnt like the older shape ...

i really like the newer R35 and just hope that they can sort something out with this current dilema

Two bonnet hinges, two pyro bonnet actuators and the ECU involved = £2700 inclusive, plus cost of bumper fascia. Awful lot of labour involved obviously...

I had this down as a lottery win purchase, You can keep the Lambo's and Fezza's, but this thread would put me off no matter how much money I'd got. Had this vision of a working mans Super-car. (Obviously not)

 

If I owned 1 I'd be taking it back and if I held a contract for the delivery of 1 I'd cancel. That pricing is beyond stupidity, But if the owner pay it.

 

Hopefully someone will come up with a workaround soon, But the stealers will then probably void your warranty. (cynical I know, but sadly realistic too).
