Personally, dont like the ad. It's gay.

Id've been happy if they didn't make an ad for the GT-R.

I remember Carlos Ghosn saying if the car appears on any magazines, on radio, on the tv, then the marketing of it will be a failure (documentary on the new GT-R, i think National Geographic?)

yeah nissan have some cheesy ad on tv... shows the 370z, murano, and GTR in the same ad..... "shift the way you move" or some crap. would be nice to see an ad just for the gtr on it's own. guess nissan have tightened their tv advertising budget..

there's probably not a lot of revenue generated from spending big $$$ on GTR advertising, where the price is out of reach for your average Joe. They are clever in that respect, nissan are a business afterall and probably make most of their money from the small/medium size car market.. so it makes sense that's where they focus their marketing dollars.

I actually don't mind that ad.

Ad's aren't always lathered in product info and demo's to sell the product. Most of the time (as is being seen as a common trend with Cadbury) the ad's are purely used to grab your attention.

I think if Nissan were to change anything in this ad, they should take the Murano out. It's got it's own line of ad's currently, and doesn't fit the theme of the ad (370Z and GTR being sports cars).

I'm not sure what sound they've got (as i don't have volume on my work cpu) but this may make all the difference as bad music will create a bad feeling around the ad from it's viewers.

Some people have mentioned that they wish the GTR had an ad on it's own. And yes that would be good. But it would be a waste of money for Nissan. The GTR is not one of their mainstream cars, and as GTTR34 said, it's out of the price ranges of most average joes. So for most people (excluding GTR fans) they would probably take little to no interest and change channels. And depending on the ad they created, it may very well "cheapen" the image of the GTR.

It's exactly the same reason why Ferrari doesn't advertise.

9/10 people can't afford a Ferrari.

Putting a Ferrari ad on prime time television could possibly "cheapen" its image if it's surrounded by cadbury and kitchen cleaner ads, and would be seen as "common"

Ferrari's brand sells the product, not advertising. Maybe this is what Nissan is trying to achieve. Their maybe hoping the GTR doesn't need advertising, just a little mention in an ad?

You hit the nail on the head. Thats exactly what they said in the making of the GT-R documentary on Discovery Channel a couple of years ago. There advertising was focusing on creating a hype through it featuring in video games and the like, they wanted to make people want to see it, find out more about it and dream of owning it.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
