Nissan's dirty little secret! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Talk about lame. Know that factory launch control feature they touted around, using it to make screaming fast laps? If you use it on your own personal GT-R, it'll void your warranty. And a black box installed in each GT-R will record you using it. What else voids it? Racing it. I mean, this car was built for speed-limit crusing Sundays, right? Yup turning off VDC voids the warranty.

So you must have performance-optimizing maintenance performed but using this optimized performance voids your warranty.

big deal steal a new black box

TFord · 07-26-2008, 04:23 PM

IF there is any tampering sensed by it, it also voids the warranty...and Im sure these "black boxes" are serialized so they know which car each one came from

The_Beast_ · 07-26-2008, 04:31 PM

OK THEN screw the fking warrenty. Just dont ruin total or slightly damage the car and youll be fine....

damn ricers that's what you get for all your stcker abuses.. Well who gets the last laugh now huh HAHAHAHHA

Shadowsong · 07-26-2008, 05:27 PM

I'm sure if you can afford a GT-R, replacing a few parts that the voided warranty would have covered would be no big deal.

carsismeZ06 · 07-26-2008, 06:05 PM

So you can't even race at a race track? Like I can't buy a GT-R, drive it to Mid-Ohio, and race?

Will the Camaro have one of these special black boxes as well??

You know what this means, right?
IT CAN do all this quick-fast crap that the Nissan boys will tout...but it CAN'T do it reliably; otherwise there would be no warranty issues!

Way to go Nissan!! So much for Godzilla!

They had problems, I believe, with their Evo's ruining the drivetrain by using the launch control.
