Is it still around 3.5k for 1 years extended warranty from NHPC?

 

They offered me one about 2 years ago for £3,100 I think. When I replied "you must be joking" they said "well, you can pay it monthly for £250" to which I said "it's still £3,100 a year, whichever way you slice it". They gave up after that.

 

Litchfield, without a doubt.

 

What is the reason?

 

Any of the specialists.

I enquired about this with AutoTorque and they cover everything bar entertainment systems. MFD replacement or repairs you could get cheaper from R35Audio.

One question I have and will be asking is if a part is replaced under warranty with one of the specialists on a standard GT-R, is it replaced like-for-like with an OEM part or an uprated part from aftermarket?

 

Litchfield. I actually have their warranty on my car. Never had to use it but I trust they would honor it way more than Nissan who are famous for dodging warranty pay outs.

At the moment I have the Nissan warranty but I also bought an Akrapovic full exhaust system, I called a few places today to get a quote to fit it and they have all said I need a remap on it if I am going to have the full system on. So as soon as I heard that I called Nissan and they said it will void the warranty as soon as a map is on. So I'm kinda stuck with a ££££ exhaust system. I have the extended warranty with Nissan but I'm leaning towards cancelling it with them and going somewhere else (Litchfield)

 

I think you answered your own question fella.

You don't need to remap it for just an catback akra system. If you're also changing the downpipes, then yes a remap is necessary. Exhaust fitting isn't a particular big job.

Most independent warranties from Litchfield, Autotorque, ACS etc cover mods too, but always ask and check the small print, some require a pre-inspection to be carried out before offering a warranty.

Alot of dealers will try and wriggle out of most claims (or make it very difficult to put in a claim), dash lights, mfd failures, bellhousing, mirror rust etc

 

E3BLS.
If you call Nissan or a NHPC they will say it will void warranty as they cannot guarantee it won't affect it. I has a Nissan warranty with a stage 1 Litchfield map and my dealer at Exeter sucessfully claimed for a new carbon propshart (£2000 fitted) and new MFL display ecu (£1500 fiited) under the Nissan care4 warranty.
I belive you will have others say they have had sucessfu claims too. All I am saying is don't be too hasty before you cancel warranty.

If you do then yes defo Litchfield warranty.

 

As Tin said you won't need a remap until you change downpipes

 

When I had my exhaust fitted (no cats and no silencers), with OEM downpipes, 2 GT-R specialists told me otherwise.

 

Makes no sense after the y pipe there is no restriction especially on a stock engine - it's well known you can run a y pipe without a map even Nissan fit them to new cars if asked

 

When I had just the y-pipe changed, they said no need for a remap. But as soon as I said I wanted a new exhaust, both specialists assured me it would then require a remap.

 

Will leave it for others to comment then

 

I Dont get why you would need a remap just for an exhaust change.

 

Yes, the oem backbox setup is good for 750hp, unless it was part of a stage'd upgrade with remap/exhaust/filters/injectors etc.

In most cases, a remap with no other mods (stage1) will give a healthy torque boost and a small hp upgrade for DBAs (CBA's get around ~60hp), so its a nice thing to do anyhow.
