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.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
AND ADJUSTMENT (if necessary)
(including tire pressure adjustment)
GUID-0CDF0D6E-5F2A-4B1E-B66E-3CB1C85B9A7FThis vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-
mance suspension. The vehicle's wheel align-
ment should be measured and adjusted (if
necessary) by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
as necessary as the vehicle is driven and the
suspension parts break-in.
The wheel alignment can be adjusted by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer in accordance with
specifications for city driving to high perfor-
mance driving. The tires on the GT-R may have different wear
rates and wear patterns in comparison to
conventional passenger vehicles. It is recom-
mended you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer to confirm that the alignment is within
specifications.
Preventing toe-out:
Toe-out can cause uneven tire wear or
damage to areas inside the tires due to
high heat. Be sure to have the wheel
alignment toe-in setting checked and ad-
justed by your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer before any performance driving on
closed circuit tracks. Obey all traffic laws
when on public roads.

TRANSMISSION SETTINGSGUID-62FE55B6-F107-48E8-B057-B9C43E33C951The design of the clutch and transmission
requires inspection and adjustment of the clutch
and shift forks by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer at the recommended intervals. If the
transmission setting is not complete, excessive
loads may be applied to the transmission and
power train system parts during starting and
shifting, which may result in a malfunction or
damage. Depending on the driving conditions,
more frequent adjustments may be necessary to
help maximize vehicle performance.

Wheels and tiresGUID-4DFCB043-2E7B-4A61-BEEF-3F105B41DC54The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
.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 8-32)
The tire pressure changes depending on the
outside temperature or altitude. Check the tire
pressure regularly and when the climate condi-
tions change.
* The following chart indicates how the tire
pressure will decrease as outside air tempera-
ture decreases.
SSI0696
WARNING
Keep your tires inflated to the correct
tire pressure. Driving with low tire
pressure can damage some powertrain
systems and affect the operation of the
ABS and VDC systems. Low Tire pres-
sure may also cause tire failure and
result in serious personal injury or
death.
. Make sure the tire valve stem cap is installed
and that the valve stem is tight. When
installing the cap, make sure to tighten the cap by hand. If a tool is used to tighten the
cap, the cap may be damaged.
. Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.
(
ªWheels and tiresº page 8-32)
. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
. Make sure to replace the grommet seal, the
valve core and the valve cap of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor
attached to the wheel every 3 years for
performance driving use. Replace them
every 5 years even when not engaging in
performance driving. A dirty grommet seal
will cause the air leak from the tire.
. Make sure that the nuts and valves that are
attached to the TPMS sensor are tight and
there is no nitrogen leak.
. Use only a NISSAN genuine valve cap or
equivalent.
. 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.
. Secure road wheel balance weights with
aluminum tape.
. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.

. 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. (

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.
