MechanismOperation characteristics
Ultralight flywheel
.
An ultralight flywheel is provided to achieve rapid engine response to the accelerator pedal operation and quick shifting response to the
paddle shifter operation. These are essential for a supercar. However, you may notice a large rattling noise from gears because engine
rotation fluctuations become larger while idling.
.
Due to changes in engine speed through the operation of the air conditioner, rattling, shaking or jarring noises may be heard when idling or
driving at low speeds.
.
Rattling noises may be heard when the engine is started or stopped.
Dry sump lubrication High-efficiency dry sump lubrication is provided to achieve low agitation resistance of lubricant oil and allows smooth transmission gear rotation
that contribute to obtain a perfect balance between outstanding driving performance and improved environmental performance. However, you
may notice some rattling noise due to engine rotation fluctuations.

*1: Mobil 1, 0W-40 (100% synthetic) is the factory fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed
bores was developed using this oil. NISSAN
cannot ensure proper engine operation and dur-
ability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used. If Mobil
1, 0W-40 is not available, Mobil 1, 10W-40 (100%
synthetic) may be used; however, some perfor-
mance loss may be noticed.
*2: Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special DOT4 is the factory fill brake fluid. The Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) unit and other related parts were
specially designed for this brake fluid and NISSAN
cannot ensure the best performance and proper
operation of the vehicle if other brake fluid is used.0-10
