I was never expecting a engineproblem on a car that is build for lets say 1.5 years and pushed hard on racetracks all over the world...gearboxproblems because of the complexity of the gearboysystem,ok,thats what i was expecting,but not engine and for sure not after just 6500km´s...

My GTR was remapped for maybe 1000km,and most of them was normal daily driving....

Nissan definetly has a problem there and they know it,but all they do is void the warranty because a lets say 50hp upgrade...if its not build to last with 50hp more,then its not build to last for 10000km in stock trim. We all know that the engine is strong and reliable,but mine wasn´t and thats the reason im sure others will break too,as i didn´t do anything you wouldn´t do too.....

Nissan Germanys own Demo/Presscar(the one which the Sportautomagazin has done the 7.38min Lap on the Nordschleife) broke with iirc 15000km,same sort of failure after highspeed driving on the autobahn.......i can see clearly that those 2 damages have the same reason....
