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. (

ways use run-flat tires of the specified
size on all four wheels. Mixing tire sizes or
construction may reduce vehicle handling
stability. If necessary, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for assistance.
Frequently check the tire pressure infor-
mation on the touch screen display and
adjust pressure of each tire properly. See
the separate Multi Function Display Own-
er’s Manual.
It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is
under-inflated or flat. Check the tire
pressures as described earlier in this
section. If the tire becomes under-inflated
while driving, the low tire pressure warn-
ing light will come on. If the tire becomes
flat while driving, the low tire pressure
warning light and the run-flat tire warn-
ing display will come on.
Low tire pressure:

as possible, as the tire’s perfor-
mance capability is reduced.
Tires for All-Wheel Drive (AWD)If excessive tire wear is found, it is
recommended that all four tires be re-
placed with tires of the specified size,
brand, construction and tread pattern.
The tire pressure and wheel alignment
should also be checked and corrected as
necessary. It is recommended you con-
tact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.TIRE CHAINS

being uninstalled from the
wheels, use equipment such as a
leverless automatic tire changer.
It is only possible to reuse the
tires when they have no cracks
and/or deformations on the bead
portion. However, if you use a
lever-type tire changer, cracks
and deformation may occur on
the bead portion of the tires
meaning that the tires cannot be
reused.
. 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.

da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
. Always use tires of the specified
type, size, brand, construction
(bias, bias-belted, radial or run-
flat), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Failure to do so may
result in a circumference differ-
ence between tires on the front
and rear axles which will cause
excessive tire wear and may da-
mage the transmission, transfer
case and differential gears.

The wheel nuts must be kept
tightened to specification at all
times. It is recommended that
wheel nuts be tightened to speci-
fications at each lubrication inter-
val.
.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD
pressure.
COLD pressure: After the vehicle
has been parked for three hours
or more or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label affixed to the driver’s door
opening.

.Be sure to install the specified
size of tires on the four wheels.
NOTE:
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled
with nitrogen gas. When the tire
pressure is low, fill the tires with
nitrogen gas. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer for information on filling the
tires with nitrogen gas.

.You can also check the pressure of all
tires on the touch screen display.
Refer to the separate Multi Function
Display Owner’s Manual.
. The tire pressure sensor should be
reset anytime the wheels or tires are
removed or replaced.
. If the tire is removed in order to
replace the tire pressure sensor bat-
tery, it may not be possible to reuse
the removed tire from the wheel. To
replace the tire pressure sensor bat-
tery, it is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
NOTICE
.The TPMS may not function prop-
erly when the wheels are
equipped with tire chains or the
wheels are buried in snow.
. The TPMS may not function prop-
erly if the TPMS sensor is not
reset and when wheels/tires from
