Nissan GTR 'Love Tap' repair bill....
So, if you had a minor bumper altercation in your Sierra, I'd imagine you could fix it for a couple of hundred quid. Not if you have an R35 GTR it would seem.........

needed to replace the bonnet rams, bonnet hinges & ECU
Why on earth would those parts need to be replaced? That's just crazy. Surely its a major design flaw if this pedestrian safety system cannot simply be reset.

Sod pedestrian safety. It's usually their own stupid fault when they get run over

It's to punt the pedestrian far enough away from the car to make sure you can't have the blame pinned on you. That's a good thing I'd say.

It should fire right up so they don't get near the windscreen or roof!!
Seriously though,
1. buy GTR, find pedestrian protection ecu - remove it.
2. Design and manufacture GTR bonnet hinges!! Sell them for a smaller fortune!

thats crazy, makes you wonder how much these will be worth in years to come, when they get to around 10k they could be written off by something so minor

Lol - imagine if they went off a few miliseconds too late, it'd be like blasting the poor fucker into space
You seen the thing bmw are bringing out? An airbag under the front of the car, which digs into the road to stop the car quicker when it thinks you are about to crash? Can't see that being a cheap repair every time you dap the brakes a bit hard!

Wonder if as this system gets put into more cars, the production cost comes down and so in a year or two they are nowhere near as expensive?
