GTR-22GT-R Overview
Suspension and wheel alignmentGUID-717B8FCC-38D9-49B8-900D-CE3AC60083CD.Check the steering and suspension system
and other links for loose and/or damaged
parts.
. Measure and adjust the wheel alignment. It
is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer to adjust the wheel
alignment to the recommended setting for
normal driving.
Wheels and tiresGUID-DF739C54-232F-4D22-8411-3447FCC6AF9E.Check tire wear and cracking.
. Inspect the tire side wall for damage.
. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure as necessary when the tires are
cold. (
ªWheels and tiresº page GTR-
16) If you do not drive under the conditions
listed in this section, see
ªWheels and
tiresº page 8-32.
. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.
Check if there is no deformation on the
contact surface of the wheel nuts.
. Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.
(
ªWheels and tiresº page 8-32)
. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
. Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel
rotates smoothly without any friction. Check these with the tires removed whenever an
inspection is performed with the vehicle
jacked up.
. Make sure the tire has not slipped on the
wheel causing the assembly 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. When instal-
ling new tires on the wheels, make sure new
reference marks are applied to the wheels
and tires. (
ªWheels and tiresº page
GTR-16)
. Make sure that the TPMS sensor installation
nuts and the sensor valve are tight and there
is no nitrogen leak.
BrakesGUID-9F9BF18B-725B-4D67-9B77-FE9C5E2B01AC.Check for the heat deterioration of the
brakes and parts around the brakes.
. Check the condition of the brake pads and
disc rotors and replace them as necessary.
Engine and powertrainGUID-6D6A93B6-167E-482B-B7DB-6E5B685097F5.Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under the vehicle for oil and coolant
leaks.
. Inspect the area surrounding the catalytic
converter for heat deterioration.
. Inspect and confirm the clearance between
the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is more
than 0.24 in (6 mm) (up/down) and more
than 0.20 in (5 mm) (left/right) .
. The clutch clearance and shift fork position
may need to be adjusted.
. Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft
universal joint for cracks or damage.
. Check that there is no abnormal noise,
vibrations or warning lights illuminated when
making tight turns at slow speed (for tight
corner braking phenomenon) .

TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICSGUID-DC9FD7D2-9CD4-46F9-AFB8-A7B5A93B4FE1
MechanismOperation characteristics
Base Manual transmission
.The GT-R transmission design is different from transmissions used in conventional passenger cars. The GT-R uses a transmission gear
design, light flywheel and a dry sump lubrication system to provide maximum vehicle performance. Because the GT-R Transmission design
is different, noises may be louder. When the transmission temperature is high, rattling, shaking and jarring noises may be heard.
.Clattering noises may be heard while shifting..Appropriate gaps are provided between gears to achieve smooth gear rotation and steady tooth surface lubrication under the high-load
driving condition. However, this causes a rattling noise.
.If the shift lever is moved from&Rto&A
F&Mposition, or&A
F&Mto&Rposition before the vehicle stops, you may not be able to shift gear
or it may take longer to shift gear. Make sure to depress the brake pedal and check that the vehicle has stopped before shifting.
Multiple-disc wet clutch
.When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in the&Ror&A
F&Mposition, be sure to firmly depress the brake pedal. The vehicle may
slowly move if the brake pedal is not depressed.
.Avoid depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time could
cause the clutch to overheat and accelerate deterioration.
.When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, do not hold the vehicle in place by depressing the accelerator pedal. Doing so may cause the clutch
to overheat and result in transmission damage. Use the brakes to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Electronic oil pressure
control The following conditions are caused due to changes in fluid viscosity as a result of temperature changes.
.When the transmission oil is extremely cold or extremely hot, the transmission may feel like it is slipping during shifts or there may be hard
shifts. This is normal. Transmission shifting should return to normal when the transmission oil returns to normal operating temperatures.
.When the transmission oil temperature is extremely cold, the time required to run a system check may increase. During the system check,
the shift lever must stay in the&Pposition. Move the shift lever after turning off the system check display. Also, it is normal to hear clicking
noises during the transmission systems check.
Changing modes
.The higher shift speeds in the&Mposition may result in shift shock and jerkiness when starting or shifting..The quickest shifting in the R mode with the transmission in the&Mposition is available when the engine speed is high. However, the
transmission may shift more slowly when the engine speed is low.
Mechanical Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned half a turn in cold temperatures, the inner wheel tire may slip and some
noise or vibration may be heard. This phenomenon occurs because the viscosity of the differential oil becomes thicker and the Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) operates with increasing load. When the steering wheel is returned to the straight ahead position or the differential oil warms
up, the noise and vibration decrease.

*1: Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the factory fill oil. The VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed
bores was developed using this oil. NISSAN
cannot ensure proper engine operation and
durability if other 0W-40 synthetic oil is used.
If Mobil 1 (0W-40) is not available, Mobil 1
(10W-40) (100% synthetic) may be used;
however, some performance loss may be
noticed.
*2: Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special II is the factory fill brake fluid. The Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) unit and other related parts were
specially designed for this brake fluid and
NISSAN cannot ensure proper operation of the
vehicle if other brake fluid is used.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CHECK
DISPLAY
GUID-DFE5FFBC-0C09-4816-99FD-92EB9AF21B11This is displayed after the engine is started while
the transmission system is being checked. It
turns off after a few seconds.
NOTE:
.During the system check, the shift lever
cannot be moved out of the
&Pposition.
Operate the shift lever after the system
check indicator turns off.
. The shift lever cannot be moved if the
shift lever button is pushed while the
system check is being performed, even after the system check is finished.
Release the button and push it again
to operate the shift lever.
. During winter or at other times when
the temperature is extremely low,
changes in the hydraulic response
characteristics may increase the
amount of time that is required for the
system check. During the system check,
a thudding operating noise may occur
or the engine speed may decrease,
however this does not indicate that
there is a malfunction.
