TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICSGUID-DC9FD7D2-9CD4-46F9-AFB8-A7B5A93B4FE1
MechanismOperation characteristics
Base Manual transmission
.The GT-R transmission design is different from transmissions used in conventional passenger cars. The GT-R uses a transmission gear
design, light flywheel and a dry sump lubrication system to provide maximum vehicle performance. Because the GT-R Transmission design
is different, noises may be louder. When the transmission temperature is high, rattling, shaking and jarring noises may be heard.
.Clattering noises may be heard while shifting..Appropriate gaps are provided between gears to achieve smooth gear rotation and steady tooth surface lubrication under the high-load
driving condition. However, this causes a rattling noise.
.If the shift lever is moved from&Rto&A
F&Mposition, or&A
F&Mto&Rposition before the vehicle stops, you may not be able to shift gear
or it may take longer to shift gear. Make sure to depress the brake pedal and check that the vehicle has stopped before shifting.
Multiple-disc wet clutch
.When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in the&Ror&A
F&Mposition, be sure to firmly depress the brake pedal. The vehicle may
slowly move if the brake pedal is not depressed.
.Avoid depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time could
cause the clutch to overheat and accelerate deterioration.
.When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, do not hold the vehicle in place by depressing the accelerator pedal. Doing so may cause the clutch
to overheat and result in transmission damage. Use the brakes to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Electronic oil pressure
control The following conditions are caused due to changes in fluid viscosity as a result of temperature changes.
.When the transmission oil is extremely cold or extremely hot, the transmission may feel like it is slipping during shifts or there may be hard
shifts. This is normal. Transmission shifting should return to normal when the transmission oil returns to normal operating temperatures.
.When the transmission oil temperature is extremely cold, the time required to run a system check may increase. During the system check,
the shift lever must stay in the&Pposition. Move the shift lever after turning off the system check display. Also, it is normal to hear clicking
noises during the transmission systems check.
Changing modes
.The higher shift speeds in the&Mposition may result in shift shock and jerkiness when starting or shifting..The quickest shifting in the R mode with the transmission in the&Mposition is available when the engine speed is high. However, the
transmission may shift more slowly when the engine speed is low.
Mechanical Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned half a turn in cold temperatures, the inner wheel tire may slip and some
noise or vibration may be heard. This phenomenon occurs because the viscosity of the differential oil becomes thicker and the Limited Slip
Differential (LSD) operates with increasing load. When the steering wheel is returned to the straight ahead position or the differential oil warms
up, the noise and vibration decrease.

Use the NEXT switchand ENTER switch
to go to ALERT > UPSHIFT. The current
status of the upshift indicator will be shown on
the UPSHIFT screen. Note that the function is
set to AUTO as the factory default setting.
To change the upshift indicator mode, choose
SETTING on the UPSHIFT screen. Set one of
the following modes by pushing the NEXT
switch
, and then push ENTERto
complete.
. AUTO
. 3,000 to 6,300 RPM (MANUAL)

.
ExampleGUID-B7DEDF79-0D08-4F50-907D-74577BC62D90
When the maximum engine speed is
desired:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9Set the upshift indicator to AUTO. The yellow
indicator illuminates approximately 700 RPM
before the red zone, and the red indicator
illuminates just before the red zone. When the maximum engine torque is
desired:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9Set the figure at 6,000 RPM. The green
indicator starts flashing from approximately
5,500 RPM and illuminates at 6,000 RPM.
When breaking-in the vehicle:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9To help avoid high engine speeds during break-
in, set the upshift indicator to less than 3,500
RPM. The green indicator starts flashing ap-
proximately 500 RPM before the set figure and
illuminates from the set figure. (
ªBreak-in
scheduleº page 5-39)
NOTE:
. There may be a slight difference be-
tween the timing of the upshift indica-
tor illumination and the tachometer
indication.
. When the battery terminal is discon-
nected, the set memory will be erased
and the mode returns to the default.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CHECK
DISPLAY
GUID-DFE5FFBC-0C09-4816-99FD-92EB9AF21B11This is displayed after the engine is started while
the transmission system is being checked. It
turns off after a few seconds.
NOTE:
.During the system check, the shift lever
cannot be moved out of the
&Pposition.
Operate the shift lever after the system
check indicator turns off.
. The shift lever cannot be moved if the
shift lever button is pushed while the
system check is being performed, even after the system check is finished.
Release the button and push it again
to operate the shift lever.
. During winter or at other times when
the temperature is extremely low,
changes in the hydraulic response
characteristics may increase the
amount of time that is required for the
system check. During the system check,
a thudding operating noise may occur
or the engine speed may decrease,
however this does not indicate that
there is a malfunction.

GUID-1CB354FF-CB21-4C73-B70E-AFB9E2916D3E
WARNING
.Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. They
could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Closely supervise children when
they are around cars to prevent
them from playing and becoming
locked in the trunk where they could
be seriously injured. Keep the car
locked, with the rear seatback and
trunk lid securely latched when not
in use, and prevent children's access
to car keys.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)GUID-C4169681-307E-40B5-A630-3CDCBC8979B6
WARNING
.Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
. If you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, drive with
all windows fully open, and have the
vehicle inspected immediately.
. Do not run the engine in closed
spaces such as a garage.
. Do not park the vehicle with the
engine running for any extended
length of time.
. Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving, otherwise exhaust gases
could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with
the trunk lid open, follow these
precautions:
a. Open all the windows.
b. Set the
air recirculation to
off and the fan control to high to circulate the air.
. The exhaust system and body
should be inspected by a qualified
mechanic whenever:
Ð The vehicle is raised for service.
Ð You suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering into the passenger
compartment.
Ð You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
Ð You have had an accident invol- ving damage to the exhaust
system, underbody, or rear of
the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYSTGUID-C6C2AC5C-58D1-4557-AB2B-17AA4021BD05The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust
gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at
high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
