PRECAUTIONS ON PERFORMANCE
DRIVING
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Checking the temperature of the
coolant and oils on the multi func-
tion display
When the temperatures of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure e�fceed the normal
range, the color of the meter on the multi
function display changes to red to warn the
driver�b When engaging in high performance
driving, switch the display to the function meter
to display the temperature of the engine coolant
and oil, and the oil pressure�b When the color of
the meter display changes to red, perform cool
down driving�b When the values of the tempera-
ture and pressure return to the normal range, the
color of the meter display will turn back to white�b
Warning temperature:
.Engine coolant temperature is 2308 F
(1108C) or higher:
If the engine coolant temperature increases
above 2308F (1108C) , the color of the meter
display on the multi function display changes
to red to warn of a possible overheat condition and engine output is reduced�b
. Engine oil temperature is 2758F (1358C) or
higher:
If the engine oil temperature is higher than
2758F (1358C), the meter display changes
to red, ma�fimum engine speed is automati-
cally limited to 4,000 rpm, and the transmis-
sion automatically changes from the
&M
position to the&Aposition�b
. Transmission oil temperature is 2848 F
(1408C) or higher:
If the transmission oil temperature increases
to over 2848F (1408C) , the color of the
meter display changes to red�b However, the
vehicle can continue to be driven until the
temperature reaches 2958F (1468C) �b If the
oil temperature e�fceeds 284 8F (1408 C)
while driving (the color of the meter dis-
played in red) , change both the transmission
oil and the differential oil after driving
because these fluids have deteriorated
because of the heat�b
Cool down
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help e�ftend the life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures are e�ftremely
high�b Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to
80 km/h) , in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to
5 km) and then stop the engine�b
Refueling precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To ma�fimize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity�b The tank is also divided into
two parts�b This fuel tank design causes higher
pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff�b
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full�b
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise�b Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually�b Also, if the

REFUELING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tan�f is
located as low as possi�ble to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tan�f is also divided into
two parts. This fuel tan�f design causes higher
pressures inside the tan�f than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possi�ble �by trying to top off the
fuel tan�f after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tan�f pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tan�f is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may �be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tan�f gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off �before the
tan�f is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the vehicle has cooled.
GASOLINE SMELL
The fuel temperature is higher when the vehicle
is hot. This may cause a gasoline smell from the
vehicle. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. The smell will go away when the
fuel temperature has cooled.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATURE
Heat from the engine compartment, radiator and
intercoolers can affect the outside temperature
display. The outside temperature display may
indicate a higher than actual temperature while
driving or stopped. This is normal.
IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADY
The idle speed may not �be steady when the
engine compartment is extremely hot. This is
normal. The engine speed will �be steady when
the engine cools down.
In this case, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
may come on. After a few driving trips, the MIL
should turn off. If the light remains on after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle inspected �by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTED
To help protect the engine, the maximum engine
speed is automatically controlled in the following
conditions:
.
Revving the engine with the shift lever in the
&Por&Nposition: The maximum engine
speed is 5,000 RPM
. Revving the engine when the engine oil is at
a low (�below 328F (08C)) or extremely high
(over 2758 F (1358C)) temperature: The
maximum engine speed is 4,000 RPM (The
&Mposition will automatically change to the
&Aposition.)
ENGINE OUTPUT
High altitude
To protect the engine, engine output is con-
trolled so that it does not increase at altitudes
3,281 ft (1,000 m) or higher.
Engine output according to the
coolant temperature
The engine output is controlled at a low level
when the engine coolant temperature is lower
than approximately 1588F (708C) or higher than
2308F (1108C). This is not a malfunction.
If the temperature is lower than approximately

GT-R SPECIFIC VEHICLE
CHARACTERISTICS

Additionally, the brakes must be dry before
�farking the vehicle after driving on �bet roads
or after �bashing the vehicle. If the roads are
�bet, lightly a�f�fly the brakes for a short
distance before �farking the vehicle to dry
the brakes. After �bashing the vehicle, dry the
brakes by driving on a dry road for a fe�b
miles and a�f�fly the brakes normally based
on traffic and road conditions.
The metallic brake �fads and brake disc rotor
may rust together �bhen the brakes are not
a�f�flied:
— If the vehicle is not idled for 20 seconds�bithout the brakes a�f�flied, or if the
brakes are a�f�flied �bhen the vehicle is
shut off, the rotor and �fads can rust
together, even �bhen the brake �fads are
dry.
— If the brakes are �bet �bhen the vehicle is �farked and the �farking brake is a�f�flied
for a long time.
— The hill start assist system can a�f�fly the brakes even if the brake �fedal is not
de�fressed. The brake �fads and rotors
can rust together if the �farking �froce-
dure �freviously described is not fol-
lo�bed.
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer if
the brake �fads and brake rotor have rusted together.
NOTICE
To help reduce the possibility of the
rotors and brake pads rusting:
Have the brake pads and/or rotors
quenched when the brake pads are
replaced. For detailed information
about quenching, contact a GT-R certi-
fied NISSAN dealer.
After quenching the brake pads and/or
rotors, apply a brake of 0.5G to stop the
vehicle 6-7 times at least once a week
in a safe location. G-force can be
checked on the multi function display.
Refer to the separate Multi Function
Display Owner’s Manual.
. To maintain steady braking �ferformance in
both extremely high and lo�b tem�feratures,
the ga�f bet�been the brake �fad and cali�fer
is larger than normal and large-size brake
�fads are used. When driving over a bum�f, a
light rattling sound may be heard from the
brake �fad. This does not indicate that there
is a malfunction. .
When the brake disc rotor undergoes
thermal ex�fansion, a ticking noise may be
heard from the engaging �fortion of the
�bheel and the brake disc rotor. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction. The
noise �bill reduce �bhen the tem�ferature
decreases.
. In addition to noise resulting from uneven
tire �bear discussed in the �frevious section,
the GT-R tires are more rigid than a ty�fical
�fassenger car tire and are made from a
s�fecially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle’s �ferformance ca�fabilities. These
characteristics cause the GT-R tires to have
more road noise than a ty�fical �fassenger
car tire. This road noise is normal.
. Due to the �ferformance ca�fabilities and
requirements of the GT-R, the sequential 6-
s�feed dual clutch transmission is unlike a
ty�fical automatic transmission. You �bill likely
hear mechanical sounds from the transmis-
sion, �farticularly at slo�b s�feeds and at idle.
This condition is normal.

TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS
MechanismOperation characteristics
Base Manual transmission
.T�fe GT-R transmission design is different from transmissions used in �bonventional passenger �bars. T�fe GT-R uses a transmission gear
design, lig�ft flyw�feel and a dry sump lubri�bation system to provide maximum ve�fi�ble performan�be. Be�bause t�fe GT-R Transmission design
is different, noises may be louder. W�fen t�fe transmission temperature is �fig�f, rattling, s�faking and jarring noises may be �feard.

.W�fen stopping t�fe ve�fi�ble wit�f t�fe s�fift lever in t�fe&Ror&A
F&Mposition, be sure to firmly depress t�fe brake pedal. T�fe ve�fi�ble may
slowly move if t�fe brake pedal is not depressed.
.Avoid depressing t�fe brake and a�b�belerator pedals at t�fe same time. Depressing t�fe brake and a�b�belerator pedals at t�fe same time �bould
�bause t�fe �blut�b�f to over�feat and a�b�belerate deterioration.
.W�fen t�fe ve�fi�ble is stopped on a �fill, do not �fold t�fe ve�fi�ble in pla�be by depressing t�fe a�b�belerator pedal. Doing so may �bause t�fe �blut�b�f
to over�feat and result in transmission damage. Use t�fe brakes to prevent t�fe ve�fi�ble from moving.

.W�fen t�fe transmission oil is extremely �bold or extremely �fot, t�fe transmission may feel like it is slipping during s�fifts or t�fere may be �fard
s�fifts. T�fis is normal. Transmission s�fifting s�fould return to normal w�fen t�fe transmission oil returns to normal operating temperatures.
.W�fen t�fe transmission oil temperature is extremely �bold, t�fe time required to run a system �b�fe�bk may in�brease. During t�fe system �b�fe�bk,
t�fe s�fift lever must stay in t�fe&Pposition. Move t�fe s�fift lever after turning off t�fe system �b�fe�bk display. Also, it is normal to �fear �bli�bking
