If over 18K, tranny fluid!!

Thanks for the heads up! Ill be sure to get this checked out, but...
I dont expect to be getting a perfet car and will obviously have to deal with issues at some point in time... for being launched I think it would be hard for someone to find one that hasnt, how many of us that baby our Z's never get on her every once in a while? it would be nice to find that perfect used car tho
As for the valve seals... It sucks that Ill have to replace that at some point but given that I take my Z a couple times a month I wouldnt expect to replace it at any point relatively soon and if I do have to replace it then so be it, its part of buying a used car. I learned then when I bought my first STI in 05'

What other negative things do you have for me on the GT-R...?
