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

section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
.Check tire wear and cracking.
. Inspect the tire side wall for damage.
. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure as necessary when the tires are
cold. (
ªWheels and tiresº page 8-32)
The tire pressure changes depending on the
outside temperature or altitude. Check the tire
pressure regularly and when the climate condi-
tions change.
* The following chart indicates how the tire
pressure will decrease as outside air tempera-
ture decreases.

WARNING
Keep your tires inflated to the correct
tire pressure. Driving with low tire
pressure can damage some powertrain
systems and affect the operation of the
ABS and VDC systems. Low Tire pres-
sure may also cause tire failure and
result in serious personal injury or
death.
. Make sure the tire valve stem cap is installed
and that the valve stem is tight. When
installing the cap, make sure to tighten the cap by hand. If a tool is used to tighten the
cap, the cap may be damaged.
. Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.
(
ªWheels and tiresº page 8-32)
. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
. Make sure to replace the grommet seal, the
valve core and the valve cap of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor
attached to the wheel every 3 years for
performance driving use. Replace them
every 5 years even when not engaging in
performance driving. A dirty grommet seal
will cause the air leak from the tire.
. Make sure that the nuts and valves that are
attached to the TPMS sensor are tight and
there is no nitrogen leak.
. Use only a NISSAN genuine valve cap or
equivalent.
. Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel
rotates smoothly without any friction. Check
these with the tires removed whenever an
inspection is performed with the vehicle
jacked up.
. Secure road wheel balance weights with
aluminum tape.
. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.

1588F (708C) , drive the vehicle until it reaches
normal operating temperature. If the temperature
is higher than 2308F (1108C), perform cool-
down driving procedure. (
ªCool downº
page GTR-12) When the temperature of the
engine coolant is between 1588F (708C) and
2308F (1108C) , the engine output returns to
normal.
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.

TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, the warning light illuminates for about 1
second and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning:
GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all 4 wheels to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver's door opening.
The low tire pressure warning light does
not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is
inflated to the recommended pressure,
the vehicle must be driven at speeds above
16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure. (

GUID-E22DEED8-E349-45C2-B1F1-0C9BCF3B8FB9The run-flat tire warning warns of a flat tire.
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the warning light will illuminate continu-
ously and a chime will sound for 10 seconds.
The chime will only sound at the first indication
of a flat tire and the warning light will illuminate
continuously. When the flat tire warning is
activated, it is recommended you have the
system reset and the tire checked and replaced
if necessary by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Even if the tire is inflated to the specified COLD
tire pressure, the warning light will continue to
illuminate until the system is reset by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
If you select the tire pressure information in the
touch screen display, the warning screen will be
displayed. The tire pressure for each tire will also
be displayed. Refer to the separate Multi
Function Display Owner's Manual.
Your vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a
flat tire. (

WARNING
. If the light does not illuminate with
the ignition switch pushed to the ON
position, it is recommended you
have the vehicle checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible.
. If the light illuminates while driving,
avoid sudden steering maneuvers or
abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with un-
der-inflated tires may permanently
damage the tires and increase the
likelihood of tire failure. Serious
vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could
result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four
tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure

shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label located in the
driver's door opening to turn the
low tire pressure warning light off. If
the light still illuminates while driv-
ing after adjusting the tire pressure,
a tire may be flat (
ªRun-flat
tiresº page 6-4) or the TPMS may be
malfunctioning. If no tire is flat and
all tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you have the vehicle
checked by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
. Although you can continue driving
with a punctured run-flat tire, re-
member that vehicle handling sta-
bility is reduced, which could lead to
an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tires.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than 50 miles (80 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven
on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road con-
ditions and other factors. .
If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punc-
tured run-flat tire, pull off the road
to a safe location and stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. The tire
may be seriously damaged and
need to be replaced.
. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute. It
is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure
to check the tire pressure regularly.
. Be sure to install the specified size of tires on the four wheels.
NOTE:
. If the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of less than 16 MPH (25 km/h) , the
TPMS may not operate correctly.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled with
nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is
low, fill the tires with nitrogen gas. It is
recommended you contact a GT-R cer-
tified NISSAN dealer for information on
filling the tires with nitrogen gas.

WARNING
.The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system com-
ponents.
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
NOTICE
.Do not use leaded gasoline. Depos-
its from leaded gasoline seriously
reduce the three-way catalyst's abil-
ity to help reduce exhaust pollu-
tants.
. Keep your engine tuned up. Mal-
functions in the ignition, fuel injec-
tion, or electrical systems can cause
overrich fuel flow into the three-way
catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine mis-
fires, or if noticeable loss of perfor-
mance or other unusual operating conditions are detected. It is recom-
mended you have the vehicle in-
spected promptly by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
. Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, dama-
ging the three-way catalyst.
. Do not race the engine while warm-
ing it up.
. Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
GUID-90024E82-FB34-427B-AB7F-4FE62719A8F1Each tire should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the low tire pressure warning light will
illuminate continuously and a chime will sound
for 10 seconds. The chime will only sound at the
first indication of a flat tire, and the warning light
will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire
warning is activated, it is recommended you
have the system reset and the tire checked and
replaced if necessary by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to
the specified COLD tire pressure, the warning
light will continue to illuminate until the system is
reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Your
vehicle can be driven for a limited time on a flat
tire. (
ªRun-flat tiresº page 8-39)
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
Page 224 of 386
> ( G L W 0 R G H O 0 < 1 , 6 6 $ 1 * 7 5 5 2 0 ( 5 8 @
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi-
cator is illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.Additional informationGUID-853D6301-F8DB-4961-A1F9-51FC1CE15E41.The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h) . Also, this system may not detect
a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a
flat tire while driving) .
. The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure
is adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure
gauge to check the tire pressure.
. The ªTIRE LOW PRESSURE - VISIT DEAL-
ERº warning appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low tire
pressure is detected. The ªTIRE LOW
PRESSURE - VISIT DEALERº warning turns
off when the low tire pressure warning light
turns off.
The ªTIRE LOW PRESSURE - VISIT DEAL-
ERº warning appears each time the ignition
switch is placed in the ªONº position as long
as the low tire pressure warning light
remains illuminated.
The ªTIRE LOW PRESSURE - VISIT DEAL- ERº warning does not appear if the low tire
pressure warning light illuminates to indicate
a TPMS malfunction.
. The ªFLAT TIRE - VISIT DEALERº warning
appears in the vehicle information display
when the low tire pressure warning light is
illuminated and one or more flat tires are
detected.
. Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle's operation
and the outside temperature. Do not reduce
the tire pressure after driving because the
tire pressure rises after driving. Low outside
temperature can lower the temperature of
the air inside the tire which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. Altitude can
also affect tire pressure. These may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. If the warning light illuminates,
check the tire pressure for all four tires.
. GT-R vehicles are delivered from the factory
with nitrogen-filled tires. For best perfor-
mance, NISSAN recommends that GT-R
owners maintain their vehicles by using
nitrogen for tire inflation. Because nitrogen
is more stable than compressed air, it is less
prone to pressure fluctuation resulting from
temperature variations. If nitrogen is not
available, compressed air may be safely

used under normal driving conditions. How-
ever, NISSAN recommends refilling with
Nitrogen for maximum tire performance.
. The Tire and Loading Information label (also
referred to as the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label) is located in the
driver's door opening.
. You can also check the pressure of all tires
on the touch screen display. Refer to the
separate Multi Function Display Owner's
Manual.
. The tire pressure sensor should be reset
anytime the wheels or tires are removed or
replaced.
. If the tire is removed in order to replace the
tire pressure sensor battery, it may not be
possible to reuse the removed tire from the
wheel. To replace the tire pressure sensor
battery, it is recommended you contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
.If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sud-
den steering maneuvers or abrupt
braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull
off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as possi-
ble. Driving with under-inflated tires
may permanently damage the tires
and increase the likelihood of tire
failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an
accident and could result in serious
personal injury. Check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label to turn
the low tire pressure warning light
off. If the light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may be flat (
ªRun-
flat tiresº page 6-4) or the TPMS
may be malfunctioning. If no tire is
flat and all tires are properly in-
flated, have the vehicle checked by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
. Although you can continue driving
with a punctured run-flat tire, re-
member that vehicle handling sta-
bility is reduced, which could lead to
an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tires. .
Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than 50 miles (80 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven
on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road con-
ditions and other factors.
. When a wheel is replaced, the TPMS
will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after 1 minute. It is
recommended you contact your
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
