GTR-4GT-R Overview
engine oils may cause internal engine �famage.
Engine oil maintenance
.When the �behicle is �feli�bere�f, the engine oil
le�bel is 0.39 in (10 mm) below the H mark on
the engine oil �fipstick for optimum high
performance �fri�bing. The engine oil can be
fille�f up to the H mark if not engaging in
performance �fri�bing.
. Because of the high performance character-
istics of the GT-R engine, more frequent oil
le�bel inspections are necessary. Check the
oil le�bel e�bery 1,800 miles (3,000 km) an�f
a�fjust as necessary. Also, change the
engine oil base�f on the �fri�bing con�fitions.
For the information regar�fing oil replace-
ment inter�bals, refer to the 2015 NISSAN
GT-R Ser�bice an�f Maintenance Gui�fe.
. Some amount of oil is consume�f by your
engine un�fer normal operating con�fitions,
an�f oil consumption by itself �foes not
necessarily in�ficate any malfunction. If your
rate of oil consumption increases su�f�fenly
or without explanation, NISSAN recom-
men�fs that you ha�be your �behicle inspecte�f
by a GT-R certifie�f NISSAN �fealer.
. For information about the oil replacement
inter�bals for performance �fri�bing, refer to the
inter�bal for replacing oil after high perfor- mance �fri�bing. (
“A�f�fitional mainte-
nance items” page GTR-12)
Make sure to replace the oil filter when the
engine oil is change�f.
TRANSMISSION OIL
Genuine NISSAN Transmission Oil R35
Special (100% synthetic oil)
The GT-R uses a multiple-�fisc �fual wet clutch
transmission. The specially �fe�belope�f transmis-
sion oil maximizes the friction characteristics of
the clutch an�f the lubrication of the gear
bearings.
The use of additives is prohibited.
The use of a�f�fiti�bes or other transmission oil
may cause internal transmission or clutch
�famage.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)
Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E
Use only the Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION
type 2189E that can keep the oil temperature
low in or�fer to protect all parts of the �fifferential
an�f maximize the performance of the Limite�f
Slip Differential (LSD) .
The use of additives is prohibited.
Using a�f�fiti�bes or any other than the specifie�f �fifferential oil may cause the oil temperature to
increase an�f the final �fri�be to be �famage�f. Also
it may cause �bibration an�f a�f�bersely the �behicle
han�fling characteristics.
BRAKE FLUID
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special
II
Genuine NISSAN Brake Flui�f R35 Special II is
the factory fill brake flui�f. The Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) unit an�f other relate�f parts were
specially �fesigne�f for this brake flui�f. NISSAN

certified technician must inspect the �fehicle and
determine that only the �brake pads need to �be
replaced. In this case, replacing all �brake pads
and disc rotors as a set is not necessary.
Note that the replacement of �brake pads and the
disc rotors as a set on all four wheels should �be
performed when a GT-R certified technician
determines that this is the correct repair.
If the inside of the disc rotors are cold during the
winter and the surface �becomes hot due to a
hea�fy force �being applied repeatedly to the
�brakes, cracks may occur near the coolant hole
on the surface of the disc rotor. Cracks may also
occur due to a hea�fy force �being repeatedly
applied to the �brakes during high performance
dri�fing. In these cases it may �be necessary to
replace the disc rotors or �brake pads depending
on the condition of the crack. Contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for replacement.
EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET
The GT-R exhaust system is designed to pro�fide
the maximum �fehicle performance and to
protect the �fehicle from high exhaust gas
temperatures.
If non-genuine GT-R exhaust system parts are
used it is possi�ble that the muffler or other
exhaust system parts will deform and causedamage to the under�body. Non-genuine GT-R
exhaust system parts can also affect �fehicle
performance and possi�bly lead to tur�bocharger,
engine or power train related parts including
transmission, damage.
Also, do not remo�fe the trunk carpet from the
�fehicle for any reason. The carpet insulates the
�fehicle interior from the heat of the muffler and
from the noise of the transmission.
TITANIUM MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET (if so equipped)
The �fehicle is equipped with a la�bel under the
console lid
*1that pro�fides the �body to the
titanium muffler clearance specification (for
example rear �bumper to muffler tu�be clearance) .
Since the exhaust gas temperature of the high
performance engine reaches a high temperature
(1,8328F (1,0008C) or more) , the muffler may �be
deformed or lowered due to the heat and then
the under�body or peripheral parts may �be
damaged. Therefore, periodic inspections for
the clearance �between the muffler and the
peripheral parts are required. Your GT-R has

been tested on a test circuit to ensure the
suspension components “settle” prior to ship-
pin�f. Followin�f this circuit test the odometer
readin�f at the time o�b vehicle shipment is as
listed. Please note a small amount o�b additional
milea�fe may have been added in the subse-
quent onward transportation. In addition your
GT-R has been inspected and tested by the
�bactory test personnel. The titanium mu�b�bler
speci�bications are provided on a label under
the console lid should the mu�b�bler need to be
adjusted. Please do not remove the label �brom
the console lid. See a GT-R certi�bied NISSAN
dealer �bor detailed in�bormation.
I�b a non-�fenuine titanium mu�b�bler is used, the
mu�b�bler may become de�bormed and dama�fe the
underbody due to the hi�fh per�bormance en�fine
reachin�f hi�fh exhaust �fas temperatures
(1,8328F (1,0008C) or more) . The hi�fhest-class
titanium alloy is used �bor �fenuine parts to ensure
the resistance stren�fth and creepin�f character-
istics a�fainst hi�fh exhaust �fas temperature. In
addition, �burther coolin�f e�b�bects are secured by
adoptin�f additional coolin�f �bins and by applyin�f
partial plate thickness reduction. Since �fenuine
titanium mu�b�blers are made o�b titanium alloy, the
sur�bace color will chan�fe dependin�f on the
drivin�f conditions, which is not unusual. Prior to
shippin�f �brom �bactory, all vehicles receivebalance ali�fnin�f �bor en�fine, transmission, and
clutch, as well as quench drivin�f o�b brake pads
and rotors. As a result, the mu�b�bler sur�bace color
may di�b�ber dependin�f on the vehicle.
Never remove the trunk carpet �brom the vehicle
�bor any reason. The carpet insulates the vehicle
interior �brom the heat o�b the mu�b�bler and �brom the
noise o�b the transmission.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to the
Titanium Muffler.
I�b the mu�b�bler is heated when oil or �frease adhere
to the mu�b�bler sur�bace, the color o�b this area will
be di�b�berent �brom that o�b the surroundin�f area. To
remove the oil or �frease, check that the sur�bace
temperature o�b the mu�b�bler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral deter�fent, wipe it with a
brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth and
�fently tap it with a dry shop cloth to dry. Be
care�bul not to allow the brake cleaner to splatter
on rubber parts, bumper, etc.DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so
equipped)
Because o�b the characteristics o�b the material,
the dry carbon �biber parts may turn yellow due to
exposure to ultraviolet rays. The sur�baces o�b dry
carbon �biber parts are coated with a special
ultraviolet protection paint. To maintain the
appearance o�b these parts, it is important to
take proper care o�b them.
NOTICE
.
Do not use compound agents on
clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts
(such as the NISMO model’s bum-
per, side sill protector, rear spoiler,
etc.) .
. Do not use any chemical agents
(wax, coating agent, compound
agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry
carbon fiber parts (such as the rear
diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of
specifications other than NISMO,
etc.) .
. When dry carbon fiber parts become
dirty, prepare a dilute cleaning solu-
tion by mixing one capful of mild
detergent in a bucket of water, and
GT-R OverviewGTR-7

GTR-8GT-R Overview
use that mixture to clean the parts.
NOTE:
The surfaces of the dry carbon fiber parts
are lightly coated like a race car so that
you can feel the proper texture of real
carbon, which may feel rough. This is
normal.
MATTE PAINT (if so equipped)
If your vehicle is equi�f�fed with �batte �faint,
s�fecial care is necessary to clean your vehicle to
�baintain the a�f�fearance of the �batte �faint.
(
“Matte �faint care” �fage 7-2) In addition to the regular �baintenance reco�b-
�bended by NISSAN, the GT-R requires the
following s�fecial ins�fections:
.
Wheel align�bent ins�fection and adjust�bent
(if necessary) (including tire �fressure ad-
just�bent)
. Trans�bission settings
These ins�fections are required at the following
intervals:
. 1,000 �biles
. 12 �bonths
. 24 �bonths
. 36 �bonths
NOTE:
. 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 2015 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 2015 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.

TRANSMISSION SETTINGS
The design o�b the clutch and transmission
requires inspection and adjustment o�b the clutch
and shi�bt �borks by a �fT-R certi�bied NISSAN
dealer at the recommended intervals. I�b the
transmission setting is not complete, excessive
loads may be applied to the transmission and
power train system parts during starting and
shi�bting, which may result in a mal�bunction or
damage. Depending on the driving conditions,
more �brequent adjustments may be necessary to
help maximize vehicle per�bormance.NOTICE
Follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced vehicle performance.
Please observe the �bollowing types o�b driving
until the mileage shown below has been
reached.
Until 300 miles (500 km):
. Do not depress the accelerator pedal more
than hal�bway and avoid rapid acceleration.
. Drive with the engine speed kept at less
than 3,500 RPM.
. Avoid unnecessary quick steering, abrupt
braking and driving on poor roads.
300 to 600 miles (500 to 1,000 km):
. Avoid rapid acceleration in a low gear (1st to
3rd gears) with the accelerator pedal �bully
depressed. Depress the pedal slowly.
. Avoid unnecessary quick steering and
abrupt braking.

.Drive with the suspension setup swit�fh in
the COM�b mode to allow more suspension
stroke.
600 to 1,200 miles (1,000 to 2,000 km):
. Drive with the engine speed kept relatively
high with the shift lever in the
&Mposition.
Shifting is re�fommended between 1st and
4th gears.
. Avoid unne�fessary qui�fk steering and
abrupt braking.
. Drive with the suspension setup swit�fh in
the COM�b mode to allow more suspension
stroke.
Even though the mileage rea�fhes over 1,200
miles (2,000 km) , the �flut�fh may take longer to
properly engage if the vehi�fle is mainly driven in
town at a low speed. NISSAN re�fommends
breaking in the �flut�fh at a GT-R �fertified
NISSAN dealer. Always perform the transmis-
sion setting after breaking in the �flut�fh. If the
transmission setting is not �fomplete, ex�fessive
loads may be applied to the transmission and
power train system parts during starting and
shifting, whi�fh may result in a malfun�ftion or
damage.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Do not adjust the wheel alignment until the
mileage rea�fhes 1,000 miles (1,600 km). Until
then, the suspension may not engage enough
and the height may be higher.
However, make sure to adjust the alignment
after 1,000 miles (1,600 km) .
The wheel alignment �fan be adjusted by a GT-R
�fertified NISSAN dealer in a�f�fordan�fe with
spe�fifi�fations for �fity driving to high perfor-
man�fe driving.
The tires on the GT-R may have different wear
rates and wear patterns in �fomparison to
�fonventional passenger vehi�fles. Conta�ft a
GT-R �fertified NISSAN dealer to �fonfirm that
the alignment is within spe�fifi�fations.VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
OFF MODE
Always make sure the VDC is ON before driving
the vehi�fle by �fhe�fking that the VDC O�b�b
indi�fator lights on the meter and the VDC set-up
swit�fh are not illuminated. The GT-R is a high
performan�fe vehi�fle and the VDC must be on/
a�ftivated to provide proper powertrain operation
and intended drivability.
WARNING
. The VDC OFF mode should ONLY be
used briefly to help free the vehicle
if stuck in snow or mud by tempora-
rily stopping operation of the VDC
to maintain wheel torque.
. Driving the GT-R with the VDC off
may lead to handling issues related
to steering maneuvers, acceleration,
or deceleration. Moreover, driving
with the VDC off can result in an
inoperative vehicle by causing ser-
ious damage to the powertrain,
including damage to the Transaxle
Assembly including Transfer, Clutch,
Gears, Transaxle case and all of its
components and other drivetrain

cessive force.
. Damage to the powertrain or any
drivetrain component(s) that occurs
when there is a record in the Vehicle
Status Data Recorder (VSDR) that
the vehicle was driven with VDC off
during the period when the damage
was incurred is excluded from war-
ranty coverage.
See your 2015 Warranty Information Boo�flet for
important related information and �barranty
coverage exclusions. See also section 2

tion.
SUMMER TIRES
The GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle’s performance capabilities. Performance
of summer tires is substantially reduced �bhen
temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so you
must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the
use of �binter or all-season tires on all four
�bheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in
sno�by or icy conditions �bhen temperatures are
less than 328F (08C) .
WARNING
Never use summer tires when the
temperature is below í48F(í208C) to
prevent permanent tread deformation
which may cause tire damage or tire
failure. This may cause a loss of vehicle
control which can result in serious
personal injury or death.
ALL-SEASON TIRES
Do not exceed the speed rating of the tire that is
installed on the vehicle.
AVOIDING BODY DAMAGE
The GT-R bumper, fascia, side sills and under-
carriage are close to the ground. Drive slo�bly on
rough or uneven roads to avoid damaging these
parts. Pay careful attention to �bheel bloc�fs and
curbs. If the front bumper contacts a �bheel
bloc�f, curb, etc., the bumper and underlying
parts may be damaged or crac�fed. Be careful
not to damage the front spoiler that is installed
belo�b the engine room.
