Fortunately, the adjusted prices do not affect customers who placed their orders with dealers before September 5. Nissan cited increased material costs as the reason for the adjustment.

Since the GT-R is already one of the best performance bargains on the market today and customers are paying a premium to own one, we doubt that the price increase will have any effect on sales. Still, $7,000 is a serious chunk of change that could go towards aftermarket toys from Cobb Tuning or HKS.

I know the buyers can afford it and won't blink an eye lid...but that is horse shit. "Oh look, they are paying huge mark ups" "How much of a price increase can we get away with?"

Only Master technicians service GT-Rs.

Any Nissan dealership servicing or selling a GT-R has a certified Master Technician.

Few Nissan dealerships have certified master techs.

All these warranties being voided is giving me a headache. I'm a little suprised that nissan would do this but it is what it is. Kind of sucks though, its like bmw telling me I cant use the paddle shifters on my car because it will void my warranty Looks like i'm going to be buying a Honda soon if bmw becomes this strict about everything. I will admit though, my mods havent caused me any problems at my local dealership
