SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every ti�fe the
brake pedal is applied.
WARNING
See a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for
a brake system check if the brake pedal
height does not return to normal.
BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING
The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-
ings. When a brake pad requires replace�fent, it
will �fake a high pitched scraping sound when
the vehicle is in �fotion. This scraping sound will
first occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After �fore wear of the brake pad,
the sound will always be heard even if the brake
pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the wear warning
sound is heard.
Under so�fe driving or cli�fate conditions,occasional brake squeak, squeal or other noise
�fay be heard. Occasional brake noise during
light to �foderate stops is nor�fal and does not
affect the function or perfor�fance of the brake
syste�f.
Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed.
For additional infor�fation, see the
�faintenance log section of your N�bSSAN
Service and Maintenance Guide for �fainte-
nance intervals.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKE SYS-
TEM
This vehicle is equipped with high perfor�fance
brake pads that provide appropriate braking
force in a broad range of driving environ�fents.
Due to the �faterial used for the brake pads, the
road wheels �fay beco�fe �fore easily covered
by brake dust, however this does not indicate
that there is a �falfunction.
The GT-R brake pads use �faterial that contains
a lot of iron to �faintain steady braking perfor-
�fance even in high and low te�fperatures.
However, if the brake syste�f is wet and the
parking brake is applied for a long ti�fe, the iron
in this �faterial �fay get rusty and the brake pad
and disc rotor �fay be fixed together. This �fay
cause noise and vibration while driving. Before
parking the vehicle, dry the brake by driving on a

dealer if t�fe noise and vibration continue�b
Frequent �fard braking may cause scorc�fing of
t�fe brake pads�b T�fis will require t�fe brake pads
to be replaced, even if t�fe wear limit �fas not

tions�b

NISSAN dealer�b
REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS
NISSAN generally recommends to replace all
four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at t�fe
same time to maintain maximum brake perfor-
mance�b
However, replacing only t�fe brake pads may be
allowed in some cases (four w�feels or only front
w�feels depending on t�fe conditions) �b A GT-R
certified tec�fnician must inspect t�fe ve�ficle and
determine t�fat only t�fe brake pads need to be
replaced�b In t�fis case, replacing all brake pads
and disc rotors as a set is not necessary�b
Note t�fat t�fe replacement of brake pads and t�fe
disc rotors as a set on all four w�feels s�fould be
performed w�fen a GT-R certified tec�fnician
determines t�fat t�fis is t�fe correct repair�bIf t�fe inside of t�fe disc rotors are cold during t�fe
winter and t�fe surface becomes �fot due to a
�feavy force being applied repeatedly to t�fe
brakes, cracks may occur near t�fe coolant �fole
on t�fe surface of t�fe disc rotor�b Cracks may also
occur due to a �feavy force being repeatedly
applied to t�fe brakes during �fig�f performance
driving�b In t�fese cases it may be necessary to
replace t�fe disc rotors or brake pads depending
on t�fe condition of t�fe crack�b Contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for replacement�b
