2018 NISSAN GT-R brake

ensure the resistance strength and
creeping characteristics against high ex-
haust gas temperature. In addition,
further cooling effects are secured by
taking in air through the duct on the
undercover, to cool the area around the
muffler, and by applying partial plate
thickness reduction. Since genuine tita-
nium mufflers are made of titanium alloy,
the surface color will change depending
on the driving conditions, which is not
unusual. Prior to shipping from factory, all
vehicles receive balance aligning for en-
gine, transmission, and clutch, as well as
quench driving of brake pads and rotors.
As a result, the muffler surface color may
differ depending on the vehicle.
Never remove the trunk carpet from the
vehicle for any reason. The carpet insu-
lates the vehicle interior from the heat of
the muffler and from the noise of the
transmission.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to
the Titanium Muffler.
If the muffler is heated when oil or grease
adhere to the muffler surface, the color of
this area will be different from that of the
surrounding area. To remove the oil or
grease, check that the surface tempera-
ture of the muffler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral detergent, wipe it witha brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth
and gently tap it with a dry shop cloth to
dry. Be careful not to allow the brake
cleaner to splatter on rubber parts, bum-
per, etc.

in this section for 48 hours after tires
are installed on the wheels. The tire
may slip on the wheel if the vehicle is
driven in these conditions before 48
hours have passed. If the tire slips on
the wheel, the wheel/tire assembly
will be out of balance and will require
rebalancing.
BrakesThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
.Check for the heat deterioration of the
brakes and parts around the brakes.
. It is recommended that you remove
air from the brake system after any of
the following:
— When engaging in high perfor-
mance driving for the first time
after purchasing a new vehicle.
— After replacing the brake fluid.
— When engaging in high perfor- mance driving for a sustained per-
iod of time. It is recommended that
bleeding the brake be performed
when the brake calipers are hot
(about 212°F (100°C)). Brake pad break-in procedure:
NISSAN recommends that a special brake
pad break-in procedure be performed
before engaging in performance driving.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for details.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
AFTER DRIVINGThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
NOTICE
At the completion of performance
driving, all fluid and other adjust-
ments should be returned to the
normal fluid specifications as shown
in the “Maintenance and do-it-your-
self” section of this manual.FluidsThe information and specifications in
this section apply only when engaging
in performance driving.
.
Check the engine, transmission, differ-
ential and under the vehicle for oil and
coolant leaks. .
Check the fluid levels and adjust as
necessary using the specified fluid as
described under the conditions listed
in this section. (

note the following:
.The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some action
is required to help keep the vehicle on
the steered path.
. You may feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal and hear a noise or vibration
from under the hood. This is normal
and indicates that the VDC system is
working properly.
. Adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
. The VDC mode can be changed using
the VDC setup switch. (

you have the brake system checked, and
if necessary repaired, by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer promptly. (

engine for more than 20 seconds
without depressing the brake pedal.
This allows the brake pads to move
away from the rotor so the pad does
not contact the rotor.
Additionally, the brakes must be dry
before parking the vehicle after driv-
ing on wet roads or after washing the
vehicle. If the roads are wet, lightly
apply the brakes for a short distance
before parking the vehicle to dry the
brakes. After washing the vehicle, dry
the brakes by driving on a dry road for
a few miles and apply the brakes
normally based on traffic and road
conditions.
The metallic brake pads and brake
disc rotor may rust together when the
brakes are not applied:
— If the vehicle is not idled for 20seconds without the brakes ap-
plied, or if the brakes are applied
when the vehicle is shut off, the
rotor and pads can rust together,
even when the brake pads are dry.
— If the brakes are wet when the vehicle is parked and the parking
brake is applied for a long time.
— The hill start assist system can apply the brakes even if the brake
pedal is not depressed. The brake
pads and rotors can rust together if the parking procedure previously
described is not followed.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer if the brake
pads and brake rotor have rusted
together.

you have the brake system checked, and
if necessary repaired, by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer promptly. (
