if it was a more realistic car, sure. but it's not and not likely it'll sit on a showroom floor nearby for long (if so i can see maybe stopping in on your lunchbreak).

 

First one just delivered..

I'm still chuckling at the midget in the background.

 

There are quite a few sitting at the port in Newport News. I've heard (from employees) that the Nissan dealership on Mercury is slated to get quite a few cars.

 

+1 Pomoco Nissan in Hampton is supposed to be getting at least 3. And last I heard was that 2 were already sold.

 

We are getting one at Nissan of NN down jefferson by Ft. Eustis.

we only have one tech that is qualified to work on them, but he isnt registered for class for the GTR training until september. So we wont get one until after hes done with that training.

BUT, we just got our GTR compliant lifts put in today. and the GM is talking about sending that tech to school sooner, so we can get the GTR quicker.

 

its hard to see him, is that you?

 

PM Rich, see if he can help you out with something a bit more witty. That was pretty sad.

 

Whats special about these lifts???

 

supposedly the GTR is like 5 inches off the ground. Nissan is being picky about certain specs of their lifts and whatnot.


The average lifts that accommodate normal everyday cars are too tall off the ground. The GTR cant fit.


So they said for any dealership to get a GTR, the dealer must have a GTR approved type lift, that is lower then 5 inches to the ground.

They have longer ramps for the GTR to roll up on, and have more ground clearance or something. IM not EXACTLY sure why, but whatever. we got new lifts today.

Nissan will be coming to our shop to inspect all the other equipment pretty soon, and they will let us know what has to be replaced/repaired to get a GTR.

BTW: only GTR techs can touch the car. Normal techs cant even adjust the tire pressures. Its stupid, but that will fade out soon after its release.
