GUID-87B249E9-9732-425C-BA67-AB35AF80CE39The GT-R is NISSAN's first supercar category
vehicle. The GT-R is equipped with special
systems. These systems are different than those
used on conventional vehicles to allow for the
high performance driving characteristics of this
vehicle. It is recommended that your vehicle be
maintained by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
Special skills, knowledge and equipment are
necessary to properly maintain your GT-R.

AVOIDING BODY DAMAGEGUID-84F3E8E5-8CE2-4771-AB43-F43103FF9B70The GT-R bumper, fascia, side sills and under-
carriage are close to the ground. Drive slowly on
rough or uneven roads to avoid damaging these
parts. Pay careful attention to wheel blocks and
curbs. If the front bumper contacts a wheel
block, curb, etc., the bumper and underlying
parts may be damaged or cracked. Be careful
not to damage the front spoiler that is installed
below the engine room.
FUELGUID-6476A61D-FD6B-4495-905E-2FDB2FB471D4NISSAN recommends using fuels that contain
no alcohol. However, fuels containing up to 10%
alcohol may be used, if necessary. Do not use E-
15 or E-85 in your vehicle. (
ªFuel informa-
tionº page 9-4)
NOTICE
To avoid serious engine damage due to
increased cylinder temperatures, do not
use fuels that contain more alcohol
than indicated in
ªGasoline con-
taining oxygenatesº page 9-5. Also, do
not use fuel additives, fuel stabilizers or
fuel deicers that contain alcohol.
BODY REPAIRGUID-CCD603FC-4C13-4686-A1B7-7FA23EB20D51The body of the GT-R has been manufactured
on special fixtures utilizing a hybrid structure
with aluminum die cast parts for the frame work.
Special skills, information and equipment are
required to correctly repair the body. It is
recommended you contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer if the vehicle is damaged, such
as in a collision, and they will recommend an
appropriate body shop.
Only certified body shops using CELETTE

Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of
the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely
high. 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.
Refueling precautionsGUID-6FAF478E-E778-45E1-88B2-3821289F5A5F
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 tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tank is also divided into
two parts. 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.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank 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 tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the
vehicle has cooled.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVING
GUID-649E6E1E-47A8-4D0D-B650-32A80495D4B7The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
FluidsGUID-7F5C84E9-2A88-45E4-9098-14BC6613E6B5.
Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under vehicle surfaces for oil and
coolant leaks.
. Check the fluid levels and adjust as neces-
sary using the specified fluid as described
under the conditions listed in this section.
(
ªRecommended fluids and mainte-
nance intervalº page GTR-19 ) If you do
not drive under the conditions listed, refer to
the 2017 NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide.
SSI0665
. NISSAN recommends to adjust the engine
oil level
*1to be 0.39 in (10 mm) (1/8 gal
(0.5 liters))
*2below the H mark on the
engine oil dipstick. (
*3range is 1.18 in (30
mm) .) Before checking the oil level, run the
engine until it reaches operating tempera-
ture and wait at least 5 minutes after turning
off the engine. Make sure the oil level always
remains above the L mark.
When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil
is set to ªH- 0.39 in (10 mm)º for optimal
high performance driving.
. Some amount of oil is consumed by your
engine under normal operating conditions,
and oil consumption by itself does not

REFUELING PRECAUTIONSGUID-B30F7182-F54D-4636-B6F0-BE4454974C1A

GASOLINE SMELLGUID-C4342B46-9E75-40FD-9A7E-8B889C6F3C49The 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
GUID-F95A7E17-06A2-4ED7-B463-A156390578EBHeat 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 STEADYGUID-7097ABDE-3830-4D7D-A455-813F21F63D62The 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, it is recommended you have the
vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTEDGUID-587FD63C-797C-46FE-8FC5-922D6B690C2FTo 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 4,300 RPM
. Revving the engine when the engine oil is at
a low (below 328F (08C)) or extremely high
(over 2758F (1358C)) temperature: The
maximum engine speed is 4,000 RPM (The
&Mposition will automatically change to the
&Aposition.)
ENGINE OUTPUTGUID-C14E0C84-C7F0-4B8A-8FEF-2A734F415F94
High altitudeGUID-445B3E98-7529-4F53-8B24-429570722800To protect the engine, engine output is con-
trolled so that it does not increase at altitude of
approximately 3,281 ft (1,000 m) or higher.
Engine output according to the
coolant temperature
GUID-3F169CBB-5E6D-4B26-8539-DAAEBB0E590EThe 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
