sive compounds or other high performance
engine oils may cause internal engine damage.
Engine oil maintenanceGUID-7CDFA496-5639-4F1E-8F03-08DB5D2863B9.When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil
level is 0.39 in (10 mm) below the H mark on
the engine oil dipstick for optimum high
performance driving. The engine oil can be
filled up to the H mark if not engaging in
performance driving.
. Because of the high performance character-
istics of the GT-R engine, more frequent oil
level inspections are necessary. Check the
oil level every 1,800 miles (3,000 km) and
adjust as necessary. Also, change the
engine oil based on the driving conditions.
For the information regarding oil replace-
ment intervals, refer to the 2017 NISSAN
GT-R Service and Maintenance Guide.
. Some amount of oil is consumed by your
engine under normal operating conditions,
and oil consumption by itself does not
necessarily indicate any malfunction. If your
rate of oil consumption increases suddenly
or without explanation, NISSAN recom-
mends that you have your vehicle inspected
by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. For information about the oil replacement
intervals for performance driving, refer to the interval for replacing oil after high perfor-
mance driving. (
ªAdditional mainte-
nance itemsº page GTR-12)
Make sure to replace the oil filter when the
engine oil is changed.
TRANSMISSION OILGUID-33530AE7-DE21-4F44-BDD8-78982F22D846Genuine NISSAN Transmission Oil R35
Special (100% synthetic oil)
The GT-R uses a multiple-disc dual wet clutch
transmission. The specially developed transmis-
sion oil maximizes the friction characteristics of
the clutch and the lubrication of the gear
bearings.
The use of additives is not recommended.
The use of additives or other transmission oil
may cause internal transmission or clutch
damage.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)GUID-02DD11D6-4B01-4B02-9F92-7324C1E986B1Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E
Use Differential Oil R35 COMPETITION type
2189E or equivalent that can keep the oil
temperature low in order to protect all parts of
the differential and maximize the performance of
the Limited Slip Differential (LSD) . The use of additives is not recommended.
Using additives or any other than the specified
differential oil may cause the oil temperature to
increase and the final drive to be damaged. Also
it may cause vibration and adversely the vehicle
handling characteristics.
BRAKE FLUIDGUID-80CC3CF4-48F5-411D-9F49-53C93F4A64F4Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special
II
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special II 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 proper operation of the vehicle if
other brake fluid is used.

TIRES AND ROAD WHEELSGUID-AE89B207-0183-4108-BA70-ACA595E17E48
TiresGUID-833C4A52-FAA4-4966-9FF7-1AFCA79765BAThe GT-R uses specially designed run-flat tires
and matching road wheels. Use of these
specially developed tires and wheels provides
the greatest potential for maximum performance.
.Using non-genuine GT-R tires may cause
powertrain system damage if the vehicle is
driven in a flat tire situation, even if run-flat
tires are used. This may also prevent the
vehicle from being stopped safely.
. Using non-genuine GT-R tires may also
cause tire failure due to excessive heat
buildup caused by tire distortion while
driving.
. Using non-genuine GT-R tires may affect the
operation of the VDC system.
Tire replacement:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9. When tire replacement is required, replacing
tires as a set of four with new tires is
recommended. However, if a tire is punctu-
red or damaged, it may be possible to
replace only the damaged tire. Determining
whether one tire or a complete set of tires
should be replaced is based on a number of
factors including tire wear and condition. Contact your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
They can recommend if an individual tire or a
complete set should be replaced.
. The GT-R uses specially designed run-flat
tires which have a rigid side wall. Special
equipment and procedures are required
when replacing these tires. NISSAN recom-
mends that tire replacement be performed at
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. Specific tire changing equipment must be
used to remove the GT-R tires from the
wheel and to install the GT-R tires onto the
wheel. It is only possible to reuse the tires
when they have no cracks and/or deforma-
tions on the bead portion of the tire. If the
incorrect equipment is used to remove the
GT-R tires from the wheel and to install the
GT-R tires onto the wheel, cracks and
deformation may occur on the bead portion
of the tires meaning that the tires cannot be
reused. Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer if the tires need to be removed from
the wheels.
. When reusing tires, it is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Road wheelsGUID-26621B4F-F1B4-4D33-B4DA-52FC5AF70F6BUsing non-genuine GT-R wheels may cause the
following:
.vehicle vibration
. the tire coming loose from the wheel during
a flat tire
. reduced wheel lug nut tightness
BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTORGUID-A43FA529-3EE0-40C1-8C7E-F6364A4F99E9This vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled
floating rotors and radial-mounted six-piston
monoblock calipers. This helps to achieve
excellent stopping performance and fade-resis-
tance.
Using non-genuine GT-R brake pads or rotors
can affect vehicle braking performance and the
operation of the ABS and VDC system.
Replacement of brake pads and disc
rotors
GUID-FD4E789E-E241-441D-844F-0CD7945717EBNISSAN generally recommends to replace all
four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at the
same time to maintain maximum brake perfor-
mance.
However, replacing only the brake pads may be
allowed in some cases (four wheels or only front
wheels depending on the conditions) . A GT-R

GTR-6GT-R Overview
certified technician must inspect the vehicle 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
heavy 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 heavy force being repeatedly
applied to the brakes during high performance
driving. 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
GUID-1B39712B-DA1F-4D3B-8E15-D5736CDB9A92The GT-R exhaust system is designed to provide
the maximum vehicle performance and to
protect the vehicle from high exhaust gas
temperatures.
If non-genuine GT-R exhaust system parts are
used it is possible that the muffler or other
exhaust system parts will deform and causedamage to the underbody. Non-genuine GT-R
exhaust system parts can also affect vehicle
performance and possibly lead to turbocharger,
engine or power train related parts including
transmission, damage.
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.
TITANIUM MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET (if so equipped)
GUID-EF38B38B-3ECD-4D0A-82F0-C813AA77D0B1If a non-genuine titanium muffler is used, the
muffler may become deformed and damage the
underbody due to the high performance engine
reaching high exhaust gas temperatures
(1,8328F (1,0008C) or more) . The highest-class
titanium alloy is used for genuine parts to ensure
the resistance strength and creeping character-
istics against high exhaust gas temperature. In
addition, further cooling effects are secured by
taking in air through the duct on the undercover,
to cool the area around the muffler, and by
applying partial plate thickness reduction. Since
genuine titanium mufflers are made of titanium
alloy, the surface color will change depending on
the driving conditions, which is not unusual.
Prior to shipping from factory, all vehicles
receive balance aligning for engine, transmis-
sion, and clutch, as well as quench driving of
brake pads and rotors. As a result, the muffler
surface color may differ depending on the
vehicle.
Never 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.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to the
Titanium Muffler.
If the muffler is heated when oil or grease adhere
to the muffler surface, the color of this area will
be different from that of the surrounding area. To
remove the oil or grease, check that the surface
temperature of the muffler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral detergent, wipe it with a
brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth and
gently tap it with a dry shop cloth to dry. Be
careful not to allow the brake cleaner to splatter
on rubber parts, bumper, etc.

.Make sure the tire has not slipped on the
wheel causing the assembly to be out of
balance. The reference marks on the tire and
wheel should be aligned. If the reference
marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on
the wheel. Have the wheels/tires reba-
lanced. Make sure the old reference marks
are erased and new reference marks are
applied to the wheel and tire. When instal-
ling new tires on the wheels, make sure new
reference marks are applied to the wheels
and tires.
. Avoid the driving conditions listed under
ªAdditional maintenance itemsº in this sec-
tion for 48 hours after tires are installed on the wheels. The tire may slip on the wheel if
the vehicle is driven in these conditions
before 48 hours have passed. If the tire slips
on the wheel, the wheel/tire assembly will be
out of balance and will require rebalancing.
BrakesGUID-A8930855-67C4-4640-83D9-8730F21D114EThe information and specifications in this

Check for the heat deterioration of the
brakes and parts around the brakes.
. It is recommended that you remove air from
the brake system after any of the following:
Ð When engaging in high performance
driving for the first time after purchasing
a new vehicle.
Ð After replacing the brake fluid.
Ð When engaging in high performance driving for a sustained period of time. It
is recommended that bleeding the brake
be performed when the brake calipers
are hot (about 2128F (1008C)) .
Brake pad break-in procedure:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9NISSAN recommends that a special brake pad
break-in procedure be performed before enga-
ging in performance driving. It is recommended
you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for details.

UNEVEN WEAR OF TIRESGUID-59A07A50-5E03-47E7-8FC7-CEFC9932C699The GT-R is equipped with high performance,
low profile, run-flat tires that are optimized for
performance and handling. The life of these tires
will be less than those of tires installed on a
typical vehicle, and you are likely to experience
uneven tire wear and tire noise regardless of the
type of tire used.
NOISES ARE HEARD WHILE DRIV-
ING
GUID-0FCF3045-9BA4-4C8F-B6C6-7E56184A22F9. The GT-R brake pads use material that
provides a high amount of braking power
even in high temperatures. This material can
cause an intermittent screeching noise just
before the vehicle comes to a stop when the
brakes are gently applied. The noise de-
creases as the brake pads wear. However,
the additional brake pad break-in or repla-
cing the cross spring may decrease the noise. It is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. A screeching noise may be heard when the
brake pedal is depressed:
Ð When driving the vehicle for the first time
in the morning,
Ð After leaving the vehicle parked for extended periods of time, or
Ð When the vehicle is damp following rain showers or washing the vehicle.
These sounds are normal. The noise is
caused when the brake pads absorb moist-
ure, and the noise stops after the brake is
applied several times.
. A screeching noise may also be heard when
the brake pedal is depressed:
Ð When repeatedly applying gentle brak-
ing, especially on a curve at a low speed,
or
Ð When the brake rotors have circular scores with the brake temperature high.
WARNING
Follow the instructions below when
parking the vehicle to help prevent the
brake rotor and brake pads from rust-
ing together. Failure to follow the instructions could cause the rotor and
pads to rust together. If the rotor and
pads rust together, there may be a
popping noise and some vibration
when the vehicle is driven, a wheel
may not roll correctly, or the brake pads
could be damaged. If the pads are
damaged, this may reduce the effec-
tiveness of the brake system which
could cause a collision, serious perso-
nal injury or death.
. The GT-R uses brake pad materials that
have high metallic content. The brake pad
material helps maintain braking performance
in a wide range of weather and driving
conditions.
For the first 3,000-6,000 miles (5,000-
10,000 km) of the vehicle's service life,
and for the first 3,000-6,000 miles (5,000-
10,000 km) after a brake replacement, the
brake pad to brake rotor clearance is very
small. When parking, apply the parking
brake and move the shift lever to the
&P
position. Idle the engine for more than 20
seconds without depressing the brake
pedal. This allows the brake pads to move
away from the rotor so the pad does not
contact the rotor.
Page 32 of 386
> ( G L W 0 R G H O 0 < 1 , 6 6 $ 1 * 7 5 5 2 0 ( 5 8 @
Additionally, the brakes must be dry before
parking the vehicle after driving on wet roads
or after washing the vehicle. If the roads are
wet, lightly apply the brakes for a short
distance before parking the vehicle to dry
the brakes. After washing the vehicle, dry the
brakes by driving on a dry road for a few
miles and apply the brakes normally based
on traffic and road conditions.
The metallic brake pads and brake disc rotor
may rust together when the brakes are not
applied:
Ð If the vehicle is not idled for 20 secondswithout the brakes applied, or if the
brakes are applied when the vehicle is
shut off, the rotor and pads can rust
together, even when the brake pads are
dry.
Ð If the brakes are wet when the vehicle is parked and the parking brake is applied
for a long time.
Ð The hill start assist system can apply the brakes even if the brake pedal is not
depressed. The brake pads and rotors
can rust together if the parking proce-
dure previously described is not fol-
lowed.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer if the brake pads 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 meter
on the touch screen display. Refer to
the separate Multi Function Display
Owner's Manual.
. To maintain steady braking performance in
both extremely high and low temperatures,
the gap between the brake pad and caliper
is larger than normal and large-size brake
pads are used. When driving over a bump, a
light rattling sound may be heard from the
brake pad. This does not indicate that there
is a malfunction. .
When the brake disc rotor undergoes
thermal expansion, a ticking noise may be
heard from the engaging portion of the
wheel and the brake disc rotor. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction. The
noise will reduce when the temperature
decreases.
. In addition to noise resulting from uneven
tire wear discussed in the previous section,
the GT-R tires are more rigid than a typical
passenger car tire and are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle's performance capabilities. These
characteristics cause the GT-R tires to have
more road noise than a typical passenger
car tire. This road noise is normal.
. Due to the performance capabilities and
requirements of the GT-R, the sequential 6-
speed dual clutch transmission is unlike a
typical automatic transmission. You will likely
hear mechanical sounds from the transmis-
sion, particularly at slow speeds and at idle.
This condition is normal.

Cracks on brake padGUID-BC1FEDEC-F463-4D51-B3F4-6962DD94A963The friction material of the GT-R disc brake pad
is bonded to the pad backing plate more
strongly than conventional brake pads to with-
stand the high brake temperatures. The friction
material and backing plate expand due to heat at
different rates. Some cracks may be on the
surface of the friction material due to the
differences in expansion rates and the strong
bond between the friction material and backing
plate. The cracks do not indicate the brake pads
need to be replaced. However, depending on
the condition of the cracks, the pads may need
to be replaced. It is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
JVC0136X
Cracks on the disc rotorsGUID-52D20B8E-82A8-463A-9304-CBCD85BCB726When the brake is repeatedly applied at high
loads during the cold season, small cracks of
approximately 0.12 in (3 mm) long may appear
around the cross drilled holes
*A. This is due to
the temperature differential that occurs because
the surfaces of the disc rotors become hot while
the inside of the rotor is still cold. However, this
poses no problem in terms of brake perfor-
mance, and does not indicate a malfunction. The
brakes do not need to be replaced.
However, if the cracks extend to 0.16 in (4 mm)
or longer after repeated application of the
brakes at high loads during high performance driving, or through the continued use of the
brakes, the disc rotors must be replaced.
Brake dustGUID-31C6B056-A0D5-45B1-BD51-4A89044A64F5This vehicle is equipped with high performance
brakes, and the characteristics of the brake pad
material may cause more brake dust than other
vehicles. NISSAN recommends a wheel coating
that helps prevent the brake dust from sticking
to the wheels. It is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for more details.
CHANGE OF SURFACE COLOR OF
TITANIUM MUFFLER (if so
equipped)
GUID-5B721A31-EAA5-4BAB-9A80-F6E9391F6A57Genuine titanium mufflers are made of titanium
alloy. The surface color will change depending
on the driving conditions, which is not unusual.
Prior to shipping from factory, all vehicles
receive balance aligning for engine, transmis-
sion, and clutch, as well as quench driving of
brake pads and rotors. As a result, the muffler
surface color may differ depending on the
vehicle.
