DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so
equipped)
GUID-A5D66EC9-0E37-4FF9-8085-2F65570AF800Because 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.
MATTE PAINT (if so equipped)GUID-BF917B14-61A0-4A17-8901-FD06A89D8180If your vehicle is equipped with matte paint,
special care is necessary to clean your vehicle to
maintain the appearance of the matte paint.
(

GUID-DECA80D5-2F0D-4E71-9C55-2DBC1BDC8DC9In addition to the regular maintenance recom-
mended by NISSAN, the GT-R requires the
following special inspections:
. Wheel alignment inspection and adjustment
(if necessary) (including tire pressure ad-
justment)
. Transmission settings
These inspections are required at the following
intervals:
. 1,000 miles
. 12 months
. 24 months
. 36 months
NOTE:
. These inspections will be performed
free of charge for labor at a GT-R

DRIVING
GUID-7DBB6523-C5E9-4BBD-8F8A-9C93D55CF703The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Checking the temperature of the
coolant and oils on the touch screen
display
GUID-640404D6-C0C4-41B2-903F-7D5E41AC45D1When the temperatures of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure exceed the normal
range, the color of the multi function meter on
the touch screen display changes to red to warn
the driver. When engaging in high performance
driving, switch the display to the multi 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 temperature and pressure return to the
normal range, the color of the multi function
meter 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 multi
function meter on the touch screen 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 downGUID-F2CE90E5-E743-4E6E-9A1E-040505B03B2AThe information and specifications in this

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 precautionsGUID-6FAF478E-E778-45E1-88B2-3821289F5A5F
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
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.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVING
GUID-649E6E1E-47A8-4D0D-B650-32A80495D4B7The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
FluidsGUID-7F5C84E9-2A88-45E4-9098-14BC6613E6B5.
Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under vehicle surfaces for oil and
coolant leaks.
. Check the fluid levels and adjust as neces-
sary using the specified fluid as described
under the conditions listed in this section.
(
ªRecommended fluids and mainte-
nance intervalº page GTR-19 ) If you do
not drive under the conditions listed, refer to
the 2017 NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide.

engine until it reaches operating tempera-
ture and wait at least 5 minutes after turning
off the engine. Make sure the oil level always
remains above the L mark.
When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil
is set to ªH- 0.39 in (10 mm)º for optimal
high performance driving.

Coolant level and mixture ratioGUID-B8E57B84-06B9-4FB8-99A2-0ADC92A7F15DThe information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving. Check the coolant level in the pressurized
coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that the
fluid is between the MAX and MIN markings. For
the coolant, use genuine NISSAN Long Life
coolant. (On delivery of new vehicle, the
reservoir is filled to the MIN level. Be sure to
replenish approximately 3/8 US quart (0.3 to 0.4
liter) of coolant.)
NOTICE
Do not overfill the coolant. This may
increase the pressure in the cooling
system and cause coolant leaks.
To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant
mixture ratio should be a combination of 30%
coolant antifreeze and 70% demineralized or
distilled water for maximum cooling system
performance regardless of ambient tempera-
tures.

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. (

GASOLINE SMELLGUID-C4342B46-9E75-40FD-9A7E-8B889C6F3C49The 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
GUID-F95A7E17-06A2-4ED7-B463-A156390578EBHeat 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 STEADYGUID-7097ABDE-3830-4D7D-A455-813F21F63D62The 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, it is recommended you have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTEDGUID-587FD63C-797C-46FE-8FC5-922D6B690C2FTo 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 4,300 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

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.
