How hot did the trans get?

How hard is it to get the GT-R into the "service immediately" category?

MC

on autoX it doesnt get too hot at all.. maybe 215 degrees tops... during average 5-6 runs


service immediately isnt until the 260's you need to be tracking it hard in the summer to get that



i did get the clutch overheat safe guard after launching it off the line 4 times.... it makes you drive the car 1.5 miles 35-55 mph in high gears before it unlocks the launch again and lets you drive in low gears

also it wont launch if the engine coolant temp is above 212 degrees (or below 144)

Cool (literally)

How many launches is the transmission good for? I know with the Italian cars, it's something like a dozen.

MC

you can do as many as you want under warranty..you just have to let it cool down after 4 consecutive launches

Impressive. I mean, the Italian stuff is "warrantied" as well, but the E-trans requires clutch replacement after a dozen or so and is considered normal maintenance. Was wondering if the GT-R was the same. Sounds like it's not.

I respect what the LFA means on an engineering level, but I'm not a fan of it overall.

ImportConvert

I'll take the opposite stance.

The LFA is great and cutting edge--for early 2000.

Toyota screwed up in every way on that car. Had they not incubated it so long that it spoiled before it hatched, it would have been sex. Now it only looks and sounds like sex. Every other car in its segment tears it a new one on the track.

Toyota designed it over a very long period and did not evolve the technology they put in it over that evolutionary period. Their design plan was not plastic enough to make accommodation for the fact that it would be nearly a decade from pencil to pavement. So they ended up putting on pavement a car that had the same limitations that were around when it was on paper.

Horrible R&D/Design concept. At least it looks good.

Nissan, on the other hand, used cutting edge technology in the GT-R regarding the engine, suspension, transmission, etc. Their plan was plastic enough to incorporate technology into the car as it became available both internal AND external to Nissan as a company. Engineering-wise, I think the GT-R is one of the most impressive cars out there under $100K. The other, is the Z06/Z07 package. Both cars embody technology that is NOW. Even though their design began before that technology was mature.

I'm sorry, Toyota is probably the least impressive company I can think of at present time regarding modern automotive innovation.
