mance of the LSD. Also use the same oil for the
front differential.The use of additives is
prohibited.BRAKE FLUIDGenuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special
DOT4
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special
DOT4 is the factory fill brake fluid. The Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) unit and other related
parts were specially designed for this brake
fluid. NISSAN cannot ensure the best perfor-
mance and proper operation of the vehicle if
other brake fluid is used.TIRES AND ROAD WHEELSGenuine GT-R tires and road wheels or
equivalent
Use only genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or
equivalent. Proper use of NISSAN recom-
mended tires provides the greatest potential
for maximum performance.
. Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or an
equivalent help achieve maximum cornering
performance.
. Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or an
equivalent help provide road holding in the
event of decreasing tire pressure and
punctures. .
Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels or an
equivalent help prevent the decrease of
straight-running stability caused by uneven
tire wear due to high rigidity wheels and
wide tires.
BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTORGenuine GT-R brake pads and disc rotors
This vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-
mance braking system and includes cross-
drilled floating rotors and radial-mounted six-
piston monoblock calipers. This helps to achieve
excellent stopping performance and fade-resis-
tance. Replace all four sets of brake pads and
disc rotors at the same time to maintain
maximum brake performance.EXHAUST MUFFLERUse only the special GT-R muffler and
trunk carpet.
Never use parts other than genuine NISSAN
parts.
The GT-R has high exhaust gas temperatures. If
non-GT-R specification parts are used, it is
possible that the muffler will deform and cause
damage to the underbody. Also do not remove
the trunk carpet from the vehicle for any reason.
The carpet insulates the vehicle interior from the
heat of the muffler and from the noise of the
transmission.
EXTERIOR PARTS (spoiler, etc.)Do not modify exterior parts.
The GT-R was developed using a special wind
tunnel to help make sure the vehicle is
aerodynamically balanced. Additionally, the wind
tunnel was used to help make sure cool air flows
to the brakes, radiator and other components.
Additions of non-GT-R specific accessory ex-
terior parts can change the air flow over and
around the body. This can affect vehicle balance
and cooling of various systems.
For example, if the front bumper is modified,
there is a possibility that brake performance may
be reduced due to the decrease of the air flow to
the brake system.

In 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)
. Engine settings (balancing right and left air
flow)
. Transmission settings
These inspections are required at the following
intervals:
. 1,000 miles
. 12 months
. 24 months
. 36 monthsNOTE:.These inspections will be performed
free of charge for labor at a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer only. Inspec-
tions thereafter are recommended
every 12 months or 12,000 miles
(whichever comes first) at the custo-
mer’s expense. See the 2009 NISSAN
GT-R Warranty Information Booklet for
details.
. Repairs and adjustments involving parts replacement, etc. determined to
be necessary as a result of these
inspections are performed at the cus-
tomer’s expense.
. See the 2009 NISSAN GT-R Warranty
Information Booklet for significant lim-
itations, exclusions and possible void-
ing of your warranty resulting from
failure to have these necessary inspec-
tions, repairs and/or adjustments per-
formed.
. See the 2009 NISSAN GT-R Service and
Maintenance Guide for a detailed ex-
planation of the GT-R Performance
Optimization services.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
AND ADJUSTMENT (if necessary)
(including tire pressure adjustment)This vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-
mance suspension. The vehicle’s wheel align-
ment needs to 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.
ENGINE SETTINGS (balancing right
and left air flow)Each cylinder bank of this engine operates
independently due to the vehicle’s twin turbo-
charger design. Each side of the engine must
operate at the same level of performance. The
power output of each bank must be checked
and adjusted as necessary by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.TRANSMISSION SETTINGSThe 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. Depend-
ing on the driving conditions, more frequent
adjustments may be necessary to help maximize
vehicle performance.
