Cost £55k - comical. Are you running any modifications on the car mate? I hope the warranty responds okay

Jm-Imports · 1st April 2012, 03:38 PM

you will be covered made under UK warranty..

stuartrevill · 1st April 2012, 04:41 PM

Yes Nissan are covering it as it had an oil leak ......!

Sinth · 1st April 2012, 04:44 PM

was it a big leak? drops on driveway? or were you running on empty?

stuartrevill · 1st April 2012, 04:47 PM

Nope / Tiny ... I had about three spots on the garage floor .... No warning of low oil pressure or nowt / as soon as oil light came on ...Kaput ...

Moff · 1st April 2012, 04:53 PM

Blimey, be interested to hear updates on this going forward, glad its under warranty...

Talski · 1st April 2012, 05:02 PM

Really hope this is an April fool's day joke.....

stuartrevill · 1st April 2012, 05:06 PM

I can assure you its not , its in Westway Nissan ... It will be at least a month

I cant post a pic of it as i have only 3 posts ???

Talski · 1st April 2012, 05:28 PM

Hey, you have my absolute sympathies if that's the case, hope you get it sorted out soon. It's enough to put off a few prospective (myself included) buyers after all the problems documented with engines and transmissions. Good luck...

Anders_R35 · 1st April 2012, 07:33 PM

Don't understand why Nissan throw these figures out there, £55K - isn't that more than the whole GTR when it was released?

Good to hear it's being covered

ChuckUK · 2nd April 2012, 06:19 PM

55k, tell em your settle for 30k cash and go else where with the car.

SamboGrove · 2nd April 2012, 06:40 PM

Are you this Isn't an April fools?!

Smells a little dodgy to me....first time poster on April 1st...

In all seriousness though if it's not a piss take how te he'll can Nissan justify 55k for an engine. You can get a JUN r1 fir 15k fully installed FFS!

Even if it's not an April fool, which sounds very likely, then with any mass produced product there is always going to be a few which suffer unexplained failures, this is just one you get to hear about.
