GTR-16GT-R Overview
distilled water mix is used.
Engine and powertrain
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
.Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under the vehicle for oil and coolant
leaks.
. Inspect the areas surrounding of the cata-
lytic converter for heat deterioration.
. Always perform the transmission setting.
After that, adjust the clutch clearance so
that the clearance is less than the clearance
used for daily driving. Your GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer has the necessary informa-
tion and equipment to set the clutch
clearance to the correct specification. The
clearance used for daily driving increases
clutch heat generated during Performance
Driving. This leads to an increase in tem-
perature of the transmission oil. In addition, a
more direct shifting feel can be obtained by
reducing the clutch clearance for Perfor-
mance Driving. The clutch clearance should
be reset to the daily driving specification
after Performance Driving. See your GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for information.
NOTICE
Failure to have the clutch properly
adjusted before performance driving
may cause the transmission oil tem-
perature to increase which may cause
transmission damage.
. Inspect and confirm the clearance between
the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is more
than 0.24 in (6 mm) (up/down) and more
than 0.20 in (5 mm) (left/right) .
. Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft
universal joint for cracks or damage.
Suspension and wheel alignment
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
.Check the steering and suspension system
and other links for loose and/or damaged
parts.
. Measure and adjust the wheel alignment.
(
“Wheel alignment” page GTR-10)
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer to
adjust the wheel alignment to the recom-
mended setting for high performance driv-
ing. 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.

The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed.
CAUTION
.For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dam-
pened with water. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or
any kind of solvent or paper towel
with a chemical cleaning agent.
They will scratch or cause discolora-
tion to the lens.
. Do not spray any liquid such as
water on the meter lens. Spraying liquid may cause the system to
malfunction.
ODOMETER/TWIN TRIP OD-
OMETER
The odometer*1indicates the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer
*2indicates the
distance of individual trips.
Changing the display
Push the TRIP A/B RESET switch to change
between trips&Aand&B.
Resetting the trip odometer
To reset a trip, display the trip that you want to
reset to zero, then push and hold the TRIP A/B

and both return to zero.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm) . Do not rev the
engine into the red zone
*1.
NOTICE
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
