GTR-6GT-R Overview
certified technician must inspect the �fehicle and
determine that only the �brake pads need to �be
replaced. In this case, replacing all �brake pads
and disc rotors as a set is not necessary.
Note that the replacement of �brake pads and the
disc rotors as a set on all four wheels should �be
performed when a GT-R certified technician
determines that this is the correct repair.
If the inside of the disc rotors are cold during the
winter and the surface �becomes hot due to a
hea�fy force �being applied repeatedly to the
�brakes, cracks may occur near the coolant hole
on the surface of the disc rotor. Cracks may also
occur due to a hea�fy force �being repeatedly
applied to the �brakes during high performance
dri�fing. In these cases it may �be necessary to
replace the disc rotors or �brake pads depending
on the condition of the crack. Contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for replacement.
EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET
The GT-R exhaust system is designed to pro�fide
the maximum �fehicle performance and to
protect the �fehicle from high exhaust gas
temperatures.
If non-genuine GT-R exhaust system parts are
used it is possi�ble that the muffler or other
exhaust system parts will deform and causedamage to the under�body. Non-genuine GT-R
exhaust system parts can also affect �fehicle
performance and possi�bly lead to tur�bocharger,
engine or power train related parts including
transmission, damage.
Also, do not remo�fe the trunk carpet from the
�fehicle for any reason. The carpet insulates the
�fehicle interior from the heat of the muffler and
from the noise of the transmission.
TITANIUM MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET (if so equipped)
The �fehicle is equipped with a la�bel under the
console lid
*1that pro�fides the �body to the
titanium muffler clearance specification (for
example rear �bumper to muffler tu�be clearance) .
Since the exhaust gas temperature of the high
performance engine reaches a high temperature
(1,8328F (1,0008C) or more) , the muffler may �be
deformed or lowered due to the heat and then
the under�body or peripheral parts may �be
damaged. Therefore, periodic inspections for
the clearance �between the muffler and the
peripheral parts are required. Your GT-R has
been tested on a test circuit to ensure the
suspension components “settle” prior to ship-
pin�f. Followin�f this circuit test the odometer
readin�f at the time o�b vehicle shipment is as
listed. Please note a small amount o�b additional
milea�fe may have been added in the subse-
quent onward transportation. In addition your
GT-R has been inspected and tested by the
�bactory test personnel. The titanium mu�b�bler
speci�bications are provided on a label under
the console lid should the mu�b�bler need to be
adjusted. Please do not remove the label �brom
the console lid. See a GT-R certi�bied NISSAN
dealer �bor detailed in�bormation.
I�b a non-�fenuine titanium mu�b�bler is used, the
mu�b�bler may become de�bormed and dama�fe the
underbody due to the hi�fh per�bormance en�fine
reachin�f hi�fh exhaust �fas temperatures
(1,8328F (1,0008C) or more) . The hi�fhest-class
titanium alloy is used �bor �fenuine parts to ensure
the resistance stren�fth and creepin�f character-
istics a�fainst hi�fh exhaust �fas temperature. In
addition, �burther coolin�f e�b�bects are secured by
adoptin�f additional coolin�f �bins and by applyin�f
partial plate thickness reduction. Since �fenuine
titanium mu�b�blers are made o�b titanium alloy, the
sur�bace color will chan�fe dependin�f on the
drivin�f conditions, which is not unusual. Prior to
shippin�f �brom �bactory, all vehicles receivebalance ali�fnin�f �bor en�fine, transmission, and
clutch, as well as quench drivin�f o�b brake pads
and rotors. As a result, the mu�b�bler sur�bace color
may di�b�ber dependin�f on the vehicle.
Never remove the trunk carpet �brom the vehicle
�bor any reason. The carpet insulates the vehicle
interior �brom the heat o�b the mu�b�bler and �brom the
noise o�b the transmission.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to the
Titanium Muffler.
I�b the mu�b�bler is heated when oil or �frease adhere
to the mu�b�bler sur�bace, the color o�b this area will
be di�b�berent �brom that o�b the surroundin�f area. To
remove the oil or �frease, check that the sur�bace
temperature o�b the mu�b�bler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral deter�fent, wipe it with a
brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth and
�fently tap it with a dry shop cloth to dry. Be
care�bul not to allow the brake cleaner to splatter
on rubber parts, bumper, etc.DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so
equipped)
Because o�b the characteristics o�b the material,
the dry carbon �biber parts may turn yellow due to
exposure to ultraviolet rays. The sur�baces o�b dry
carbon �biber parts are coated with a special
ultraviolet protection paint. To maintain the
appearance o�b these parts, it is important to
take proper care o�b them.
NOTICE
.
Do not use compound agents on
clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts
(such as the NISMO model’s bum-
per, side sill protector, rear spoiler,
etc.) .
. Do not use any chemical agents
(wax, coating agent, compound
agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry
carbon fiber parts (such as the rear
diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of
specifications other than NISMO,
etc.) .
. When dry carbon fiber parts become
dirty, prepare a dilute cleaning solu-
tion by mixing one capful of mild
detergent in a bucket of water, and
