.Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing
the wheels.
. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
. NISSAN recommends that the side walls of
road wheels be waxed to protect against
road salt in areas where it is used during
winter.JACKING VEHICLE AND REMOVING
WHEELS
WARNING
.Make sure the parking brake is
securely applied and the transmis-
sion is shifted into the
&Pposition.
. Never change tires when the vehicle
is on a slope, ice or slippery areas.
This is hazardous.
. Never change tires if oncoming

for professional road assistance.
Blocking wheelsPlace suitable blocks
*1
at both the front and
back of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat
tire to prevent the vehicle from moving when it is
jacked up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the
vehicle may move and result in personal
injury.
Getting the toolsNOTE:A jack, jack lever and rod are not equipped
as standard with this vehicle. These parts
are dealer options. Contact a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer about acquiring a jack,
jack lever and rod. You can store a jack,

If the road wheels are hot, allow them
to cool sufficiently before tightening
the wheel nuts. Otherwise, the wheel
nuts cannot be tightened to specifica-

nuts to the specified torque with a
torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
97 ft-lb (132 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened
to specification at all times. It is
recommended that wheel nuts be tigh-
tened to specifications at each lubrica-
tion interval.
. Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure. COLD pressure: After the vehicle has
been parked for three hours or more or
