Changing to the
position:
To change to theposition from the
position, either move the shift lever to theside or operate the paddle shifter. The
position indicator indicates the gear posi-
tion with the indication of “M”.
If the paddle shifter is used, in one
operation the
position changes to the
position and the gear position shifts
(except for downshifting from 2nd gear to
1st gear). For the downshift operation
from the 2nd gear to the 1st gear, the
first paddle shifter operation changes theposition to the
position, and the
second operation changes the gear posi-
tion.
To return to the
position, either move
the shift lever to the
side again or pull
the right side (up sift side) paddle shifter
for approximately 2 seconds. The position
indicator indicates the gear position with
the indication of “A”.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from roll- ing into the street when parked on a
sloping drive way, it is a good practice
to turn the wheels as illustrated.
.
HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:Turn the wheels into the curb and
move the vehicle forward until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:Turn the wheels away from the
curb and move the vehicle back
until the curb side wheel gently
touches the curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB:Turn the wheels toward the side of
the road so the vehicle will move
away from the center of the road if
it moves.
4. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
For models without NCCB (NISSAN Car-
bon Ceramic Brake) package:
The GT-R uses brake pad materials that
have high metallic content. The brake pad
material helps maintain braking perfor-
mance in a wide range of weather and driving conditions.
For the first 3,000 - 6,000 miles (5,000 -
10,000 km) of the vehicle’s service life, and
for the first 3,000 - 6,000 miles (5,000 -
10,000 km) after a brake replacement, the
brake pad to brake rotor clearance is very
small. When parking, apply the parking
brake and move the shift lever to the
position. Idle the 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 driving
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 wash-
ing 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 20
seconds without the brakes applied,
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.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer if the brake pads
and brake rotor have rusted together.

Ceramic Brake) package:

.
NOTE:
Do not keep the starter motor en-
gaged for more than 10 seconds. If
the engine does not start right away,
push the ignition switch to the OFF
position and wait 10 seconds before
trying again.
7. After starting your engine, carefully disconnect the negative cable and
then the positive cable (
?
?“Removing the cowl top cover”
page 8-5) Do not attempt to start the engine by
pushing.
NOTICE
Your NISSAN cannot be push-started
or tow-started. Attempting to do so
may cause transmission damage.
WARNING
.
Do not continue to drive if your
vehicle overheats. Doing so could
cause engine damage or a vehicle
fire.
. To avoid the danger of being
scalded, never remove the radia-
tor filler cap and the coolant
reservoir cap while the engine is
still hot. When the cap is removed,
pressurized hot water will spurt
out, possibly causing serious in-
jury.
. Do not open the hood if steam is
coming out.
If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by
an extremely high temperature gauge
reading), or if you feel a lack of engine
power, detect unusual noise, etc., take the
following steps:
1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
position.
Do not stop the engine.
2. Turn off the air conditioner. Open all the windows, move the temperature
control to maximum hot and fan
PUSH STARTING IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS

WARNING
To avoid vehicle damage, serious
personal injury or death when reco-
vering a stuck vehicle:
.Contact a professional towing
service to recover the vehicle if
you have any questions regard-
ing the recovery procedure.
. Tow chains or cables must be
attached only to main structural
members of the vehicle.
. Do not use the vehicle tie-downs
to tow or free a stuck vehicle.
. Only use devices specifically de-
signed for vehicle recovery and
follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
. Always pull the recovery device
straight out from the front of the
vehicle. Never pull at an angle.
. Route recovery devices so they
do not touch any part of the
vehicle except the attachment
point.

If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud,
etc., use a tow strap or other device
designed specifically for vehicle recovery.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for the recovery device.Rocking a stuck vehicleIf your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud,
etc., use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC) system and select SAVE mode
with the transmission setup switch.
(
“VDC, transmission and suspen-
sion setup switches” page 5-25)
2. Make sure the area in front and behind the vehicle is clear of obstruc-
tions.
3. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear an area around the front tires.
4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and backward.
.
Shift back and forth between theand
and

by pulling it towards
the front of the vehicle. The engine cooling system is filled at the
factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50%
Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide
year-round anti-freeze and coolant pro-
tection. The anti-freeze solution contains
rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional
engine cooling system additives are not
necessary.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo” on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. Do not exceed the number of
occupants shown as “Seating Ca-
pacity” on the Tire and Loading
Information label.
To get “the combined weight of
occupants and cargo”, add the
weight of all occupants, then add
the total luggage weight. Examples
are shown in the illustration.
Steps for determining correct
load limit1.
Locate the statement “The com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s
placard.
2.
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
that will be riding in your vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weightof the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4.
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, if the XXX amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lb. passengers in your vehi-
cle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs) or 640 − 340 (5 x 70) =
300 kg.)
5.
Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage
load capacity calculated in Step
4.
6.
If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to deter-
mine how this reduces the avail-
able cargo and luggage loadcapacity of your vehicle.
Before driving a loaded vehicle,
confirm that you do not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle.
(
“Measurement of weights”
page 10-19)
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. See the Tire and Loading
Information label.
LOADING TIPS
.
The GVW must not exceed GVWR
or GAWR as specified on the F.M.
V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification la-
bel.
.
Do not load the front and rear
axle to the GAWR. Doing so will
exceed the GVWR.
