Whew...11K for that. No thanks! The insurance providers are going to jack those rates on renewals when they get wind of these repair costs.

Holy smokes. Not good press for the GTR.

Wonder if Vic has some opinions/info on this system & the repair costs? Seem outrageously high to me.

fwiw, if you read thru the thread, somebody posts that the system isn't on the US and Canada cars.

Also a big complaint is parts and repair pricing in general with Nissan UK. Pricing elsewhere (esp the US) is closer to being 'normal.'

I did read through most of the 8pg thread but missed that the feature is not on the US cars. Good to know.
