PRECAUTIONS ON PERFORMANCE
DRIVING
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Checking the temperature of the
coolant and oils on the multi func-
tion display
When the temperatures of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure exceed the normal
range, the color of the meter on the multi
function display changes to red to warn the
driver. When engaging in high performance
driving, switch the display to the function meter
to display the temperature of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure. When the color of
the meter display changes to red, perform cool
down driving. When the values of the tempera-
ture and pressure return to the normal range, the
color of the meter display will turn back to white.
Warning temperature:
.Engine coolant temperature is 2308F
(1108C) or higher:
If the engine coolant temperature increases
above 2308F (1108C) , the color of the meter
display on the multi function display changes
to red to warn of a possible overheat condition and engine output is reduced.
. Engine oil temperature is 2758F (1358C) or
higher:
If the engine oil temperature is higher than
2758F (1358C), the meter display changes
to red, maximum engine speed is automati-
cally limited to 4,000 rpm, and the transmis-
sion automatically changes from the
&M
position to the&Aposition.
. Transmission oil temperature is 2848F
(1408C) or higher:
If the transmission oil temperature increases
to over 2848F (1408C) , the color of the
meter display changes to red. However, the
vehicle can continue to be driven until the
temperature reaches 2958F (1468C) . If the
oil temperature exceeds 2848F (1408C)
while driving (the color of the meter dis-
played in red) , change both the transmission
oil and the differential oil after driving
because these fluids have deteriorated
because of the heat.
Cool down
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely
high. Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to
80 km/h) , in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to
5 km) and then stop the engine.
Refueling precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tank is also divided into
two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher
pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually. Also, if the

REFUELING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle

pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the vehicle has cooled.
GASOLINE SMELL
The fuel temperature is higher when the vehicle
is hot. This may cause a gasoline smell from the
vehicle. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. The smell will go away when the
fuel temperature has cooled.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATURE
Heat from the engine compartment, radiator and
intercoolers can affect the outside temperature
display. The outside temperature display may
indicate a higher than actual temperature while
driving or stopped. This is normal.
IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADY
The idle speed may not be steady when the
engine compartment is extremely hot. This is
normal. The engine speed will be steady when
the engine cools down.
In this case, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on. After a few driving trips, the MIL
should turn off. If the light remains on after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTED
To help protect the engine, the maximum engine
speed is automatically controlled in the following
conditions:
.
Revving the engine with the shift lever in the
&Por&Nposition: The maximum engine
speed is 5,000 RPM
. Revving the engine when the engine oil is at
a low (below 328F (08C)) or extremely high
(over 2758F (1358C)) temperature: The
maximum engine speed is 4,000 RPM (The
&Mposition will automatically change to the
&Aposition.)
ENGINE OUTPUT
High altitude
To protect the engine, engine output is con-
trolled so that it does not increase at altitudes
3,281 ft (1,000 m) or higher.
Engine output according to the
coolant temperature
The engine output is controlled at a low level
when the engine coolant temperature is lower
than approximately 1588F (708C) or higher than
2308F (1108C). This is not a malfunction.
If the temperature is lower than approximately

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WARN-
ING
This will appear if the cruise control system is
not functioning properly. (

LOW FUEL WARNING
This will appear when the fuel level in the tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient,
preferably before the fuel gauge reaches the
empty (E) position.
This displays the approximate distance that the
vehicle can be driven based on the amount of
fuel remaining in the fuel tank and the actual fuel
consumption.
NOTE:
. The low fuel warning will appear when
the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank decreases to approximately 3 US
gallons (12 liters) .
