Nissan R35 Gt-r Production Delays With Memo From Nissan.

[Guest]

I heard about this a few weeks ago but nothing was official till recently.

Below is a translation from a Nissan Japan Memo.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

17-1, 6 chome, Chuou-ku, Ginza

Tokyo Japan

Dear Valued Nissan GT-R customers,

Thank you very much for purchasing Nissan GT-R. We deeply apologize for the late delivery of the Nissan GT-R.

The reason of the delay is due to the decrease in production of the Nissan GT-R model caused by the shortage of the special crutch for the transmission manufactured by the American maker.

Nissan GT-R is featured in the magazine and Internet, and getting excellent reputation in the market. In order to produce remarkably smooth and fast pick-up high speed as well as the powerful resistance in driving, the special crutch is required with the guaranteed high level of precision and function, which are far different from those for standard continental cars. Unfortunately, the delivery shortage of 50 ~ 200 vehicles / month is caused by the limited capacity of the current manufacturer’s production started since last year.

Maintaining the standard of quality of function and trust to all the customers is the Nissan GT-R’s the first priority. We guarantee the quality and precision in every production process with strict inspection. This is also the reason for the delay in delivery. There is absolutely no other factor of defect.

In addition, the manufacturer is in the progress of expanding its production plant urgently. It is planned to start production in March or April. Once the new plant is opened, the production will be on schedule.

We, again, would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the late delivery of the Nissan GT-R. We seek the customer’s understanding about the situation.

Thank you for continues support to Nissan GT-R at the moment and in the future.

Sincerely yours,

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

Wow what a fascinating read, opening another factory is an interesting move indeed!

[funkymonkey]

would this push back australian delivery estimates?

would this push back australian delivery estimates?

are you thinking in terms of getting cars on sale by 18 months from first production?

if this is the case, not necessarily.. they could easily bring a few cars in on time just to shut down low-volume grey importing

..but it will probably impact the volume of aussie releases as we seem to be very low on the japanese priority list, and as shit flows downhill we will certainly be left browned

I got an email from Japan today saying it isn't the good old USA but a Japanese factory, waiting on exact info and I will post it but I was told their was a delay/issue with the gearbox causing problems with delivery times by this person about 4 weeks ago so it isn't something Nissan have just realised.

I know I have probrems with my crutch sometimes and its great to see a whole factory dedicating expansion to cater for such probrems! I have to undergo crutch surgery here in Australia to get ready for my 35 derivery!!

as long as mine has no problems with the crutch, or the blembo blake carripers, and offers the usual 'powerful resistance in driving'- then i'll be happy

Racist.

Thats a nice memo.

GTRblog.com news was that it's a US manufacturer?

[Beer Baron]
