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

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
cannot ensure proper operation of the �behicle if
other brake flui�f is use�f.

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

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

�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

component(s) by overheating or ex-
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
(
“Transmission �barning light” page 2-30)
and section 5 (“Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” page 5-50) of this O�bner’s
Manual, “Transmission Clutch Temperature
High” and “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
System” for important additional related informa-
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.

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
