snaps. These GTR's is going to be the new DSM. lol.

I have no sympathy. It was his decision to void the warranty. Now he has to pay.

If I ever had a GT-R I would run the warranty out then mod the hell out of it. No sense of losing a perfectly good warranty on a high end car like that.

If you aren't going to have a professional tune the car then you need gauges. I assume this guy didn't have a wideband.

Plenty of Evo motors have been lost by guys 'saving' money installing a MBC instead of getting a proper tune.

Well, he's from Lebanon, well known for its citizens' tuning prowess. :rolleyes:

He has a Cobb AccessPort which they claim is PnP (I still wouldn't trust any off the shelf map, especially for a GT-R) but it sounds like he ran the wrong tune.

Warranties have been voided b/c of alignment settings; you pretty much just need to assume you are not getting a factory warranty when buying a GT-R. I also fixed your scoring ;)

that's crazy. i agree. I don't know why people expect these kinds of cars to be bullet proof...especially if you keep beating the sh*t out of it.

There warrenty pretty much ends the min you drive the car off the lot.

Off-the shelf map = fail. Just stupid on all fronts.
