7-4Appearance and care
water-spotted.
. Avoid using tight-napped or rough
cloths, such as washing mitts. Care
must be taken when removing
caked-on dirt or other foreign sub-
stances so the paint surface is not
scratched or damaged.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of clean
water.
Inside flanges, seams and folds on the doors,
hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable to
the effects of road salt. Therefore, these areas
must be regularly cleaned. Take care that the
drain holes in the lower edge of the door are
open. Spray water under the body and in the
wheel wells to loosen the dirt and wash away
road salt.
Avoid leaving water spots on the paint surface
by using a damp chamois to dry the vehicle.WAXINGGUID-D1A4D4B3-64BC-4CFC-A2FD-EC7A6B5701A6Regular waxing protects the paint surface and
helps retain new vehicle appearance. Polishing
is recommended to remove built-up wax residue
and to avoid a weathered appearance before
reapplying wax.
A GT-R certified NISSAN dealer can assist you
in choosing the proper product.
. Wax your vehicle only after a thorough
washing. Follow the instructions supplied
with the wax.
. Do not use a wax containing any abrasives,
cutting compounds or cleaners that may
damage the vehicle finish.
Machine compound or aggressive polishing on a
base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the
finish or leave swirl marks.
WARNING
Do not use wax on the glass, rubber or
plastic parts around the glass or door.
This may prevent the window operation
or cause poor visibility and the wax
cannot be coated uniformly.
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.) .
REMOVING SPOTSGUID-85707878-6687-495C-A575-6721F4D83DF3Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the paint surface to avoid lasting damage
or staining. Special cleaning products are
available at a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer or
any automotive accessory stores.

OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLESGUID-62830149-0255-422F-A11B-5F865AFE3C51After driving on a road where salt is used in
winter, immediately wash and clean the outside
door handles that are provided with a special
coating. This will keep the beautiful finish longer.
TIRE DRESSINGGUID-BA736799-CE6D-4B20-8D28-533F7C86B2DENISSAN does not recommend the use of tire
dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to
the tires to help reduce discoloration of the
rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it
may react with the coating and form a com-
pound. This compound may come off the tire
while driving and stain the vehicle paint.
If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the
following precautions:
.Use a water-based tire dressing. The coat-
ing on the tire dissolves more easily with an
oil-based tire dressing.
. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help
prevent it from entering the tire tread/
grooves (where it would be difficult to
remove) .
. Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry
towel. Make sure the tire dressing is
completely removed from the tire tread/
grooves. .
Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-
mended by tire dressing manufacturer.
DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so
equipped)
GUID-185523BE-05B7-425C-8075-2C3EB608D87CBecause of the characteristics of the material,
the dry carbon fiber parts may turn yellow due to
exposure to ultraviolet rays. The surfaces of dry
carbon fiber parts are coated with a special
ultraviolet protection paint. To maintain the
appearance of these parts, it is important to
take proper care of 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
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.

FLOOR MATSGUID-EC8FCCBC-D4B8-4D06-AE34-2F6A9E13C4FD
WARNING
To avoid potential pedal interference
that may result in a collision, injury or
death:
.NEVER place a floor mat on top of
another floor mat in the driver front
position or install them upside
down or backwards.
. Use only genuine NISSAN floor
mats or equivalent floor mats that
are specifically designed for use in
your vehicle model and model year.
. Properly position the mats in the
floorwell using the floor mat posi-
tioning hooks. (
ªFloor mat in-
stallationº page 7-8)
. Make sure the floor mat does not
interfere with pedal operation.
. Periodically check the floor mats to
make sure they are properly in-
stalled.
. After cleaning the vehicle interior,
check the floor mats to make sure
they are properly installed. The use of genuine NISSAN floor mats can
extend the life of your vehicle carpet and make it
easier to clean the interior. Mats should be
maintained with regular cleaning and replaced if
they become excessively worn.

8-12Maintenance and do-it-yourself
This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) . The life expec-
tancy of the factory-fill coolant is 24,000 miles
(38,400 km) or 2 years. Mixing any other type of
coolant or the use of non-distilled water will
reduce the life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant. Refer to the GT-R Service and Main-
tenance Guide for more details.
If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, it is recommended you have it
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er.
Check that the level of coolant is between MAX
and MIN on the pressurized radiator reservoir. If
the level is below the midpoint, the amount of
coolant circulating may be insufficient for max-
imum vehicle performance, possibly causing
engine overheating or other trouble.
For the coolant level and mixture ratio when
engaging in performance driving, see
ªCoolant level and mixture ratioº page
GTR-14.
Except for NISMO models:
If it is difficult to determine the midpoint between
MAX and MIN, remove the coolant reservoir cap
and look inside through the opening to check
that the coolant level is above the divider
*3
between the top half and bottom half of the pressurized coolant reservoir.
NOTICE
.
The coolant reservoir is equipped
with a pressure type cap, and the
radiator is equipped with a non-
pressure type cap. Do not switch
the radiator filler cap and the cool-
ant reservoir cap. Doing so will
cause substandard cooling perfor-
mance and overheating.
. If you have added only water as the
coolant in an emergency, change it
to a coolant mixture ratio specified
as soon as possible.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANTGUID-851EDD89-D9EC-4EE0-B833-ADAF4D8D3C6FIf major cooling system repairs are required, it is
recommended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. The service procedures can
be found in the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.
WARNING
.To avoid the danger of being
scalded, never change the coolant
when the engine is hot.
. Never remove the radiator filler cap
and the coolant reservoir cap when
the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator and
reservoir.
. Avoid direct skin contact with used
coolant. If skin contact is made,
wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
. Keep coolant out of reach of chil-
dren and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.

brakes checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKESGUID-55691DFA-248C-4C70-9905-B1C3EECDF002Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every time 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 WARNINGGUID-1D9FED72-3F65-44A1-91DF-417913ABDA9AThe disc brake pads have audible wear warn-
ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it
will make a high pitched scraping sound when
the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound will
first occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more 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 some driving or climate conditions, occasional brake squeak, squeal or other noise
may be heard. Occasional brake noise during
light to moderate stops is normal and does not
affect the function or performance of the brake
system.
Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed.
For additional information, see the
maintenance log section of your NISSAN
Service and Maintenance Guide for mainte-
nance intervals.
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKE SYS-
TEM
GUID-D8FF96F2-DBCC-417F-A98D-B7CD867D4BEEThis vehicle is equipped with high performance
brake pads that provide appropriate braking
force in a broad range of driving environments.
Due to the material used for the brake pads, the
road wheels may become more easily covered
by brake dust, however this does not indicate
that there is a malfunction.
The GT-R brake pads use material that contains
a lot of iron to maintain steady braking perfor-
mance even in high and low temperatures.
However, if the brake system is wet and the
parking brake is applied for a long time, the iron
in this material may get rusty and the brake pad
and disc rotor may be fixed together. This may
cause noise and vibration while driving. Before
parking the vehicle, dry the brake by driving on a

tified NISSAN dealer for information on
filling the tires with nitrogen.
. If nitrogen is not available, compressed
air may be safely used under normal
driving conditions. However, NISSAN
recommends refilling with nitrogen for
maximum tire performance.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at
moderate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
.Improperly inflated tires can
fail suddenly and cause an
accident.
.The Gross Vehicle Weight rat-
ing (GVWR) is located on the F.
M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label. The vehicle weight capacity is indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information
label (if so equipped) . Do not
load your vehicle beyond this
capacity. Overloading your ve-
hicle may result in reduced tire
life, unsafe operating condi-
tions due to premature tire
failure, or unfavorable hand-
ling characteristics and could
also lead to a serious accident.
Loading beyond the specified
capacity may also result in
failure of other vehicle compo-
nents.
.Before taking a long trip, or
whenever you heavily load
your vehicle, use a tire pres-
sure gauge to ensure that the
tire pressures are at the spe-
cified level.
