Drivetrain Component Wear

The sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, including the front differential and transfer case, can experience wear over time, especially with aggressive use. Fluid contamination or extended service intervals can accelerate this. Estimated repair cost: $1,000 - $4,000+.

While not a widespread issue, some GT-Rs can experience problems with fuel injectors or the fuel pump. This is often exacerbated by using fuel below premium octane or poor quality fuel. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $1,500.
