part of the problem with tuning the new engine is nissan has put alot of fail safes in it so you cant tune it all that well...
hell if you change the tires it throws a code... so far i think the only tuner to come close to cracking the ECU has been Mine's but even they still havent done it right yet...
i also dont think many people who get the new GTR are gonna do anything to it, until the warranty is up anyways...

I never said the GTR tranny was the same...the OP asked if there could be any potential issues with this NEW car. I simply stated that new technology has the potential for issues. Most of which are addressed the first year of production. I am very familiar with the GTRs specs as well as the issues with the 350Z. Take a trip over to my350z dot com. You will see oil consumption was an issue with the 05-06s and engines are still being replaced today.
While you're there, see how many ppl have mods that are still under warranty. Hell, I broke a ring land spraying 150 shot while still under warranty....Threw on turbos and built the motor...while still warranty...still have nitrous too.
I am also curious as to how you know that oil consumption wont be an issue on a car that isn't even in the US yet? I'm sure they put the Z under the same conditions before starting final production and yet these issues still came up.
It wont take long for ppl to figure out the ECU on the GTR...management was out for the Z in 6 months....I bet the GTR will be the same way.
