2009 Nissan GT-R: Time for Some Service

gtr-maintenance-555.jpg


Our GT-R broke the 18,000 mile mark this weekend, an event which told the on-board information system that it was time for some maintenance. Actually, it gave us several alerts as the intervals can be adjusted to various mileage limits depending on how much you care about your GT-R.

Despite the repeated launch control take-offs, we do care deeply about our beloved GT-R. It'll get the proper attention shortly, probably just an oil change we're guessing.

Until then, we'll savor the fact that we have one of the highest mileage GT-Rs in the land.

"Until then, we'll savor the fact that we have one of the highest mileage GT-Rs in the land, original transmission and all."

Um, didn't the transmission get replaced during the whole fuel leak issue?

@saxman: Yes, you are correct. I should have wrote, "and haven't blown a transaxle to pieces." Text corrected.

^ Written is correct. "Should have wrote", while commonly used, is grammatically incorrect.

Ah. Now that I think about it, you're right. But ease off, Ed. He's a good guy. :o)

same here. another one that bothers the crap out of me is "it don't matter." and I admit it, I'm a grammar freak.
