Click above for more pics of this bashed up Nissan GT-R
This isn't the first Nissan GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/28/nissan-gt-r-technical-details/) to find itself looking like an accordion. We brought you another shattered GT-R in Hong Kong (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/07/aw-snap-first-nissan-gt-r-crash/) in early January, and a GT-R fender bender (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/10/no-no-no-no-another-gt-r-gets-wrecked/) a few days later in Shibuya (Tokyo). An Autoblog tipster just sent us a link to yet another bashed-up GT-R in Malaysia. As a purely objective observation, the latest incident does a decent job of demonstrating the integrity of the Nissan GT-R's safety cage. Too bad it's at the expense of supercar carnage. Are we the only ones who think this Nissan GT-R bloodshed is getting out of hand? Thanks for the tip, Eric!

NNNOOOOT!

[Canaduh]

I can't believe the windshield didn't even get cracked.

[Antihero983]

so.....is there gonna be a new thread for every GTR that gets crashed?

[2fast240]

I love it!!! All the rich bastards are going to crash the skylines, soon the market will be flooded with parts!!!

[azndoc]

Dumbass.

I wonder what he was doing or thinking as he was crashing such a beauty.

They make a special hell for people like that driver.

[shade]

What a waste. Dibs on the calipers!

[180sx-sweeet]

its a sad day when they allow retards to drive a car of this caliber...

[sylsevilsis]

Damn if they wanted to thrash a car, I'll give them mine and ill take theirs!!

[HKSdrift3r]

eh, shyt happens......... NOTT!!!!

I blame it on all those damn magazines stating that this car will make any joe shmoe, or an idiot, to be track worthy... apparently not!!

[DreamN]

its a sad day when they allow retards to drive a car of this caliber...

They've been allowing it since the fucking car was invented. What would be different now, just because it's a GT-R? :loco::jerkit:

[turbo_dreams]

I'll buy it!

cash in hand!

willing to pay 20k :-p







NNNOOOOT!

You wouldn't seriously pay 20k for what's left of that?

[wangan_cruiser]

hehehe they thought they can handle the monster.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

I can't believe the windshield didn't even get cracked.

uh.

wait.



what windshield are you looking at?

[EDacIouSX]

You wouldn't seriously pay 20k for what's left of that?

do you seriously think you wouldn't be able to make 20k back on the parts for that car?


besides, i am pretty sure that car isnt totalled. don't forget, for a car to be totalled it has to cost more to repair it than to fix it. i dont think that is even 50k worth of damage there.

[HKSdrift3r]

i doubt they make that many replaceable parts for the gtr, such as the whole front end :/

[TougeLabs]

Kind of off the subject I was just reading a article about Jun and they were ranking on the the new skyline saying all this stuff.
The gps on it will ask you to go into circuit mode and if you do the car will notify nissan and void your warranty Immediately.

[ryguy]

The gps on it will notify nissan and void your warranty if it steps foot onto a track !!! wtf ?

You might want to get your info straight before you get neg-repped or something. Nissan allows GT-R owners to take the car to the track, in fact the GPS will not let the car reach top speed unless the car detects that it's at a track. After the event, the car has to be taken for an inspection at a nissan dealership. If this is done the warranty will not be void. So pretty much no, Nissan is encouraging tracking the car. Note this is only the japanese model though, U.S. laws are less stringent.

Why can't somebody wreck a GT-R in the rear?

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Dumbass.

I wonder what he was doing or thinking as he was crashing such a beauty.

Haha omg that seriously mad me LOL!! Hhaha funny stuff... But seriously.. Soon the market is gonna be flooded with 2009 gtr parts...All these rich people buy one not knowing what the hell they are doing...

[irax]

actually, if i had 20k i would

tube frame front, and new front end... maybe 10k at most

30k for at minimum 90k car? yeah I would do it

besides allot of Nissan Dealerships are reporting a 30-60k mark up

so... realistically thats a 140k car


for 20k + maybe 10k for repairs...

serious, you have to be retarded to pass up an opportunity if you could afford it.

[origin_s135]

crashed gt-r's? man i love it, shows that the owners don't baby the car. *AHEM*

[turbo_dreams]

do you seriously think you wouldn't be able to make 20k back on the parts for that car?


besides, i am pretty sure that car isnt totalled. don't forget, for a car to be totalled it has to cost more to repair it than to fix it. i dont think that is even 50k worth of damage there.

i seriously think they would, that's why i asked the guy if he would seriously pass this up for 20k, like seriously bro.

[TougeLabs]

Hey Irax your right it was late i should of elaborated!!
I have done the research ! lol Well at least while I was pooping at my girls i read this article about SUSUMU KOYAMA hes the VP of jun auto!
Bring on the pos rep lol !! :)

What do you think of the new GT-R ?

"Its a very difficult car. Nissan is trying to over manage and control everything. When you purchase a GT-R [In JAPAN] they make you sign a contract saying that you won't modify the car. In Saitama, there are only three places to take the GT-R in for repairs . The GT-R has a black box like a flight recorder on planes that reads and records speed, RPM etc. If a GT-R goes onto a racetrack, the GPS sensors on the car detect it and will ask whether or not you want to go into Circuit mode disabling the 180 km/h governor. Activating the Circuit mode will void the warranty. Any sort of after service is also currently limited to nissan dealerships , so as far as tuning , everything is up in the air"

He also says that about the new GT-R
" Ill See what happens with the new GT-R with all the tuning and speed limitations and the weight of the car, it will not perform competitively stock on the track. I am confident that the EVO X will be way faster than the new GT-R on the circuit"

[EDacIouSX]

i seriously think they would, that's why i asked the guy if he would seriously pass this up for 20k, like seriously bro.

sorry bro but its kind of like hard to like understand like, what you are saying bro.......

I thought you said that paying 20k for a crashed gtr is stupid??

[steve_o1989]

Imagine how cheap the first person total a GTR felt.. For some reason I can just easily imagine some elderly man getting into the car and just shitting himself as he pins it and runs it off the road into a wall..

well i think that is a little biased opinion considering that JUN is KNOWN for building EVO's

I think it's not question that the GT-R will perform competitively, the question is how well will it stand up to other supercars.

[blasting_speed]

damn, someone needs to part these crashed bitches out.

That's the first thing that came to my mind. I can't wait to see the a S chassis with that engine. That's going to tear sub frames to shit. Awesome.

[TougeLabs]

Biased ? hes one of the top builders for nissan as well. Im not shitting on the car he is lol Jun is one of the best and oldest companies that produces top notch spec products left in the world i would listen to him over anyone else sorry.

[TougeLabs]

JUN is also KNOWN for building top speed nissans, Drag nissans "first to get into the 8s!", and circuit nissans records in all JUN has more class records at bonneville and el mirage then any other company. But whos counting ! anyway the new skyline is cool I guess we will see :)

[nevaland9]

dibs seats & brakes

[bigOdom1]

nissan has set up this car in hopes of cutting out the aftermarket. or at least control the aftermarket. of course jun is not going to like that. remember the last version of skylines that nissan did. it involved previous modelcars with little mileage and little modifications to even be eligible for the upgrade that cost another 40000 if i recall corectly. it not new, look at all the dealer options now with aftermarket front grills, wheels, and accessories all being sold in house rather than down the street at the shops. now as far as repairing that damage i guarantee it costs more than 10k hell thats probably parts no labor no paint. if there are even any laying around. underbody panels that you dont see. electronics that you dont even know about.possible driveshaft damage (thats x2) hell i can see this car being totalled and if only 1200 are brought over the first year they will be rare as shit really soon with the likes of nick hogan getting them

[enzochan]

so.....is there gonna be a new thread for every GTR that gets crashed?

^For real, big deal. Some dumbass with good credit just wadded a new GTR, like Nissan doesn't have parts galore for these??? Now if a hakosuka Skyline got totaled that would be truly sad.:cry:
