Nissan has instructed its Japanese dealers to temporarily halt taking orders for the Nissan GT-R, declining to offer an explanation or state when order-taking can resume. So far, the order halt only applies to home-market dealers, leading to speculation that there's an issue with a Japan-only component or subsystem.
The report, from the folks over at GTRblog, states that unverified rumors claim the recent materials price-hike may be behind the stoppage — but that it may be due to assembly line maintenance or retooling too. In other words, no one except Nissan knows, and they're not talking. Perhaps it's due to Porsche finding a GT-R that was 25 seconds off Nissan's claimed Nurburgring lap time or owners finding their transmissions weren't covered in event of launch control use? Probably not.

 

...but, but... it's a GT-R.

You can't stop it. You can only hope to contain it.

 

Ah . . . hahahahahahahaahaaaahahaaaa!

After all the hype, reality sets in.

 

wait for him...wait for him...

 

Value of Yen has been going up too

 

I don't think we will see him for about a day.

 

I think he's still licking his wounds from the a$$ kicking he got in the other thread.

 

I'm sure he's on a conference call with Nissan right now being told how to spin this on the domestic boards so they (Nissan) don't lose to much credibility.

 

Watch ... magically following this "stoppage" JSpec GTRs will be dynoing 480awhp.

 

 

 

Still not here....hmmmmmm.....

 

Perhaps it was because the GT-R's transmission was unable to take the vibration of the assembly line without grenading? Someone probably turned the VDC off of a bunch of them.
