C63 Owner About To Testdrive Gtr Needing Help

[domino_z]

remember guys the reco is trans fluid should be replaced if temp goes above 120 (or is it 130) - that's a good 1k via the dealer, few hundred less going aftermarket

Yep transmission temperature management is important on track to avoid excessive costs if you plan to keep your warranty and you learn to watch it constantly on track.

Pre-track inspection is not necessary to maintain warranty and I just have the suspension settings left in the track settings as I don't drive the car much anyway and the outside of the tyres always wear first.

The post-track inspection seems to be a genuine inspection too, the dealer replaced a headlight and brake caliper under warranty on the last one.

I still think it is flawed logic though to ignore a car purely because it has been on track, I mean from the last couple of GTR track days I have been on, "on track" can mean anything from the guy who loaned his GTR to the Top Gear tour crew which did Stig hot laps for 3 hours or the middle-aged gentlemen who puttered around in the middle of the track for 20 minutes in the morning.

Certainly looks like there are plenty of garage queen GTRs around though!

Another factor is, how are you going to know it has been tracked if the owner doesn't tell you? And quite often a tracked car comes with tens of thousands $$ of mods.
