Thanks Zippy,i think i will keep mine as a quick one then!
Gents, got the car back Friday, everything appears to have been fixed with regard to the PCC fault (loose wire on PCC control unit) and airbag fault. I agree with Zippy though on software update. It feels different to me in a couple of ways, and neither of them are good. First, it seems harder to maintain a constant speed in the lower gears. It feels like you are either accelerating or decelerating all the time, but there's very little in between, i.e., it's harder to just coast along. It also seems to me that the shift time is now a little slower in sport mode too. I hope I am just imagining these things, but my initial impression of the software update is thumbs down. Door opening is an improvement though, double click for drivers door, click and hold for passenger. Seems to work reliably.
The most troubling issue for me though is that car has come back with a hairline crack in the diffuser (I don't have carbon one). It starts at the far right side of the reverse light opening, and wraps around the top side, about an inch long in total. I don't know if the dealer damaged it, or if this has just developed on its own, but I am becoming very tired of getting issues sorted only to have new ones pop up almost immediately. I love the car, and the dealer goes out of his way to try to make things painless, but I already have a full time job. I also just noticed that I have the paint issue at the back of the rear windows as others have observed (color VO). Make it stop Mommy. I just want to drive and not worry about these annoyances.
My weekend did have a highlight though. I got to meet Kazutoshi Mizuno at the 2013 GT-R Experience event that Nissan held at Monticello Motorclub in New York. At lunch, he gave a 45 minute presentation on the design and development of the car. Absolutely fascinating, the man is brilliant. The best was that the entire event was FREE to GT-R owners. There was generous track time with instructors in both your own car and the new 2013 model, and you got all sorts of freebies: jacket, hats, and incredibily, a personalized Bell SA-rated full face helmet, which Mizuno-san graciously signed for me. A truly first class event. I can't even imagine how much Nissan spent on this. Very well done. Ron, your turn.
