GTR-8GT-R Overview
use that mixture to clean the parts.
NOTE:
The surfaces of the dry carbon fiber parts
are lightly coated like a race car so that
you can feel the proper texture of real
carbon, which may feel rough. This is
normal.
MATTE PAINT (if so equipped)
If your vehicle is equi�f�fed with �batte �faint,
s�fecial care is necessary to clean your vehicle to
�baintain the a�f�fearance of the �batte �faint.
(
“Matte �faint care” �fage 7-2) In addition to the regular �baintenance reco�b-
�bended by NISSAN, the GT-R requires the
following s�fecial ins�fections:
.
Wheel align�bent ins�fection and adjust�bent
(if necessary) (including tire �fressure ad-
just�bent)
. Trans�bission settings
These ins�fections are required at the following
intervals:
. 1,000 �biles
. 12 �bonths
. 24 �bonths
. 36 �bonths
NOTE:
. These inspections will be performed
free of charge for labor at a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer only. Inspec-
tions thereafter are recommended
every 12 months or 12,000 miles
(whichever comes first) at the custo-
mer’s expense. See the 2015 NISSAN
GT-R Warranty Information Booklet for
details.
. Repairs and adjustments involving
parts replacement, etc. determined to
be necessary as a result of these inspections are performed at the cus-
tomer’s expense.
. See the 2015 NISSAN GT-R Warranty
Information Booklet for significant lim-
itations, exclusions and possible void-
ing of your warranty resulting from
failure to have these necessary inspec-
tions, repairs and/or adjustments per-
formed.
. See the 2015 NISSAN GT-R Service and
Maintenance Guide for a detailed ex-
planation of the GT-R Performance
Optimization Services.WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
AND ADJUSTMENT (if necessary)
(including tire pressure adjustment)
This vehicle is equi�f�fed with a high �ferfor-
�bance sus�fension. The vehicle’s wheel align-
�bent needs to be �beasured and adjusted (if
necessary) by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
as necessary as the vehicle is driven and the
sus�fension �farts break-in.
The wheel align�bent can be adjusted by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer in accordance with
s�fecifications for city driving to high �ferfor-
�bance driving.
The tires on the GT-R �bay have different wear

NOTICE
Failure to have the clutch properly
adjusted before performance driving
may cause the transmission oil tem-
perature to increase which may cause
transmission damage.
. Inspect and confir�f the clearance bet�been
the exhaust finisher and rear bu�fper is �fore
than 0.24 in (6 �f�f) (up/do�bn) and �fore
than 0.20 in (5 �f�f) (left/right) .
. Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft
universal joint for cracks or da�fage.
Suspension and wheel alignment
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
.Check the steering and suspension syste�f
and other links for loose and/or da�faged
parts.
. Measure and adjust the �bheel align�fent.
(
“Wheel align�fent” page GTR-10)
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer to
adjust the �bheel align�fent to the reco�f-
�fended setting for high perfor�fance driv-
ing. Preventing toe-out:
Toe-out can cause uneven tire wear or
damage to areas inside the tires due to
high heat. Be sure to have the wheel
alignment toe-in setting checked and ad-
justed by your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer before any performance driving on
closed circuit tracks. Obey all traffic laws
when on public roads.

Wheels and tires
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
. Check tire �bear and cracking.
. Inspect the tire side �ball for da�fage.
. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure as necessary �bhen the tires are
cold. (
“Wheels and tires” page 8-32)
The tire pressure changes depending on the
outside te�fperature or altitude. Check the tire
pressure regularly and �bhen the cli�fate condi-
tions change.
* The follo�bing chart indicates ho�b the tire
pressure �bill decrease as outside air te�fpera-
ture decreases.

WARNING
Keep your tires inflated to the correct
tire pressure. Driving with low tire
pressure can damage some powertrain
systems and affect the operation of the
ABS and VDC systems. Low Tire pres-
sure may also cause tire failure and
result in serious personal injury or
death.
. Make sure the tire valve stem cap is installed
and that the valve stem is tight. �fhen
installing the cap, make sure to tighten the cap b�b hand. If a tool is used to tighten the
cap, the cap ma�b be damaged.
. Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.
(
“�fheels and tires” page 8-32)
. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
. Make sure to replace the grommet seal, the
valve core and the valve cap of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring S�bstem (TPMS) sensor
attached to the wheel ever�b 3 �bears for
performance driving use. Replace them
ever�b 5 �bears even when not engaging in
performance driving. A dirt�b grommet seal
will cause the air leak from the tire.
. Make sure that the nuts and valves that are
attached to the TPMS sensor are tight and
there is no nitrogen leak.
. Use onl�b a NISSAN genuine valve cap or
equivalent.
. Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel
rotates smoothl�b without an�b friction. Check
these with the tires removed whenever an
inspection is performed with the vehicle
jacked up.
. Secure road wheel balance weights with
aluminum tape.
. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.
.Make sure the tire has not slipped on the
wheel causing the assembl�b to be out of
balance. The reference marks on the tire and
wheel should be aligned. If the reference
marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on
the wheel. Have the wheels/tires reba-
lanced. Make sure the old reference marks
are erased and new reference marks are
applied to the wheel and tire. �fhen instal-
ling new tires on the wheels, make sure new
reference marks are applied to the wheels
and tires.
. Avoid the driving conditions listed under
“Additional maintenance items” in this sec-
tion for 48 hours after tires are installed on

TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS
MechanismOperation characteristics
Base Manual transmission
.T�fe GT-R transmission design is different from transmissions used in �bonventional passenger �bars. T�fe GT-R uses a transmission gear
design, lig�ft flyw�feel and a dry sump lubri�bation system to provide maximum ve�fi�ble performan�be. Be�bause t�fe GT-R Transmission design
is different, noises may be louder. W�fen t�fe transmission temperature is �fig�f, rattling, s�faking and jarring noises may be �feard.
.Clattering noises may be �feard w�file s�fifting..Appropriate gaps are provided between gears to a�b�fieve smoot�f gear rotation and steady toot�f surfa�be lubri�bation under t�fe �fig�f-load
driving �bondition. However, t�fis �bauses a rattling noise.
.If t�fe s�fift lever is moved from&Rto&A
F&Mposition, or&A
F&Mto&Rposition before t�fe ve�fi�ble stops, you may not be able to s�fift gear
or it may take longer to s�fift gear. Make sure to depress t�fe brake pedal and �b�fe�bk t�fat t�fe ve�fi�ble �fas stopped before s�fifting.
Multiple dis�b wet �blut�b�f
.W�fen stopping t�fe ve�fi�ble wit�f t�fe s�fift lever in t�fe&Ror&A
F&Mposition, be sure to firmly depress t�fe brake pedal. T�fe ve�fi�ble may
slowly move if t�fe brake pedal is not depressed.
.Avoid depressing t�fe brake and a�b�belerator pedals at t�fe same time. Depressing t�fe brake and a�b�belerator pedals at t�fe same time �bould
�bause t�fe �blut�b�f to over�feat and a�b�belerate deterioration.
.W�fen t�fe ve�fi�ble is stopped on a �fill, do not �fold t�fe ve�fi�ble in pla�be by depressing t�fe a�b�belerator pedal. Doing so may �bause t�fe �blut�b�f
to over�feat and result in transmission damage. Use t�fe brakes to prevent t�fe ve�fi�ble from moving.
Ele�btroni�b oil pressure
�bontrol T�fe following �bonditions are �baused due to �b�fanges in fluid vis�bosity as a result of temperature �b�fanges.
.W�fen t�fe transmission oil is extremely �bold or extremely �fot, t�fe transmission may feel like it is slipping during s�fifts or t�fere may be �fard
s�fifts. T�fis is normal. Transmission s�fifting s�fould return to normal w�fen t�fe transmission oil returns to normal operating temperatures.
.W�fen t�fe transmission oil temperature is extremely �bold, t�fe time required to run a system �b�fe�bk may in�brease. During t�fe system �b�fe�bk,
t�fe s�fift lever must stay in t�fe&Pposition. Move t�fe s�fift lever after turning off t�fe system �b�fe�bk display. Also, it is normal to �fear �bli�bking
noises during t�fe transmission systems �b�fe�bk.
C�fanging modes
.T�fe �fig�fer s�fift speeds in t�fe&Mposition may result in s�fift s�fo�bk and jerkiness w�fen starting or s�fifting..T�fe qui�bkest s�fifting in t�fe R mode wit�f t�fe transmission in t�fe&Mposition is available w�fen t�fe engine speed is �fig�f. However, t�fe
transmission may s�fift more slowly w�fen t�fe engine speed is low.
Me�b�fani�bal Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) If t�fe ve�fi�ble a�b�belerates from a stop wit�f t�fe steering w�feel turned �falf a turn in �bold temperatures, t�fe inner w�feel tire may slip and some
noise or vibration may be �feard. T�fis p�fenomenon o�b�burs be�bause t�fe vis�bosity of t�fe differential oil be�bomes t�fi�bker and t�fe Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) operates wit�f in�breasing load. W�fen t�fe steering w�feel is returned to t�fe straig�ft a�fead position or t�fe differential oil warms
up, t�fe noise and vibration de�brease.
