Cost of GTR 12k Service

NewSong · 03-05-2009, 04:58 PM

One of the members at 6SpeedOnline recently posted his bill for his 12k service, here's the breakdown:

Quote:

The 12K Service...
- 11 pts GTR R35 DCT Fluid....................... $880
- + Labor.... $105
- Oil Filter and 6pts Mobil 1 0-40W......... $97
- + Labor.... $95
- 4 pts Diff Fluid............................................ $240
- + Labor.... $105
- In-Cabin Microfilter.................................. $40
- + Labor.... $40
- Brake System - fluids.............................. $50
- + Labor.... $84
- 4 wheel alignment.................. Labor..... $126
- TAX (approx).......................................... ... $115

TOTAL 12K MAINTNANCE COST! = $1977

Who said Japanese cars were cheap to maintain? I guess you have to pay to play.

...wtf.

NewSong · 03-05-2009, 05:08 PM

I never knew DCT fluid was so expensive. I should invest in it.

Garduna · 03-05-2009, 05:10 PM

cheap japanese cars my ass! hehe

Kensta335 · 03-05-2009, 05:10 PM

That's insane. $2k for service and $20k for tranny. Fuck the GTR.

NewSong · 03-05-2009, 05:16 PM

That being said, I think the GTR would be a fun car to fly down the highway with.

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't think it's super ugly either, and despite the price tag, it's a relative performance bargain (non-markup price of course).

jj thumper · 03-05-2009, 05:26 PM

Why replace the DCT fluid? Dont M3's have lifetime fluid?

At least the alignment was reasonable.

cougfan335 · 03-05-2009, 06:04 PM

About the only thing decently priced was the alignment. Why doesn't Nissan throw in something like a 12k mile service with a $70-$80k car? I've been telling my Dad he should get one of these since I first heard about it being sold in US & Europe, but $1k for tranny fluid would really suck.

I'm willing to bet Nissan is losing money on each GTR sold.

josephr25 · 03-05-2009, 06:14 PM

I'll throw in as reference that my 350Z cost about $250 for 15K (or around there) service

ptack · 03-05-2009, 06:36 PM

So are these cars still a relative bargain? What's the service cost for a GT-3, Lambo or Ferrari?

FStop7 · 03-05-2009, 06:55 PM

That's about as much as Inspection II costs on an E46 M3 if it's out of free maint.

I can only give you examples relating to Ferrari. I know of someone who had to replace a brake rotor on a Challenge Stradale. Per Ferrari's strong recommendation he replaced all 4 rotors (plus pads) at once. The price? $45,000. That is not a typo.

It's ugly. But very fun to drive. Don't think I'll ever get to 20K and have to worry about the service. But, I was aware of the cost of Tranny Oil. Every car I've owned I have had them do the engine oil, Tranny, and diff at 1500 miles. When they told me how much it cost.... No way.

Yep. I know a lot of people who can easily go into the dealership and buy a Murc, GTR, etc. The reason they don't is because the extremely high price of maintenance.

OBI_agent · 03-05-2009, 07:10 PM

About the DCT tranny's being broken down, Nissan says that less then 1% had failed

.....I dunno if it's true or not but if I was one of those in the 1%, I would make alot of noise and let the whole world know about how nissan S$%^&Eks and this and that.

And in my opinion, if I'm ever in the market for a car, I always look at how much it cost with the service charges(Gotto work hard to get the inside scoop but it's worth it). And looking at that, GTR is still a bargain.
I dunno if you guys will agree with my statement but I will always love the GTR. I guess I'm a GTR wh()re

ians · 03-05-2009, 07:53 PM

Simple solution- Ask Nissian to give us the GTR in MT

blue2fire · 03-06-2009, 12:30 AM

The ZO6 has 90% of the thrills for 40% of the cost of upkeep, sounds good if you discount the roof falling off malarkey.

Rick Hunter · 03-06-2009, 12:46 AM

Yep... that's the reason why I didn't trade my M for a GT-R.

Wait until that guy has to change his rotors.
