Car went up in smoke!!!

Simons GTR · Jun 8, 2015

Hi everyone,
I think I got big problems with my 09 gtr. I was driving through Germany on the autobahn suddenly I heard a small bang an then it sounded like someone had poured a bag of bolts into the engine!!!! An a curtain of white smoke out the back of the car!!!! My heart sank!!! Good chance its gearbox, turbo, both!! Oil everywhere, all down the car !!! Gutted???
Anyone know a good gtr garage in Germany??? Don't really want Nissan as I know I'll need a mortgage for that!!!

Great news and a two month turnaround isn't bad considering it took a while to get the car back to the UK.

Did you refit a standard engine or forged?

Dare we ask how much the dealer contributed?

Simons GTR · Aug 19, 2015

Standard enginean tuned back up to stage 4.25. Which is more than enough for me. Don't think it would be right to discuss figures but let's just say I'd happily buy from dealer again. Both companies involved have been great!

Great to see some good ones out there.

Did they get to the bottom of why the rod let go?
