NISSAN GT-R 2021 Owners Manual

Fastening the seat belts1. Adjust the seat. (
“Seats” page 1-2)
2. Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the tongue into
the buckle until you hear and feel the
latch engage.
.
The retractor is designed to lock
during a sudden stop or on im-
pact. A slow pulling motion per-
mits the belt to move, and allows
you some freedom of movement
in the seat.
.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled
from its fully retracted position,
firmly pull the belt and release it. Then smoothly pull the belt out of
the retractor.

The ELR locks the seat belt when the
vehicle slows down rapidly or during
impacts.
The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode or child restraint mode locks the
seat belt for child restraint installation.
When the ALR mode is activated the seat
belt cannot be extended again until the
seat belt tongue is detached from the
buckle and fully retracted. The seat belt
returns to the ELR mode after the seat
belt is fully retracted.

status light” page 1-42)
WARNING
When fastening the seat belts, be
certain that seatbacks are comple-
tely secured in the latched position.
If they are not completely secured,
passengers may be injured in an
accident or sudden stop.
Unfastening the seat beltsTo unfasten the seat belt, push the
button on the buckle. The seat belt
automatically retracts.
Checking seat belt operationSeat belt retractors are designed to lock
seat belt movement by two separate
methods:
. When the belt is pulled quickly from
the retractor.
. When the vehicle slows down rapidly.
To increase your confidence in the seat
belts, check the operation as follows:
. Grasp the shoulder belt and pull for-
ward quickly. The retractor should
lock and restrict further belt move-
ment.
If the retractor does not lock during this
check or if you have any question about
seat belt operation, see a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.

NOTICE
It is recommended that you only use
the following specified fluids and
parts in the GT-R to avoid possible
vehicle damage.ENGINE OILMobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic oil) or
equivalent
Mobil 1 (0W-40) (100% synthetic) is the
factory fill oil. The VR38 engine with its
plasma-sprayed bores was developed
using this oil. NISSAN cannot ensure
proper engine operation and durability if
other non-equivalent synthetic oil is used.
If Mobil 1 (0W-40) or equivalent is not
available, Mobil 1 (10W-40) (100% syn-
thetic) or equivalent may be used; how-
ever, some performance loss may be
noticed.
Furthermore, replacement of the engine
oil with MOTUL NISMO COMPETITION OIL
type 2193E(5W40) is recommended for
the frequent high performance driving
opportunities.
NISSAN cannot ensure proper engine
operation and durability if other non-
equivalent synthetic oil is used.The use of additives, chemical materials
or abrasive compounds is prohibited.
The use of additives, chemical materials,
abrasive compounds or other high per-
formance engine oils may cause internal
engine damage.

GT-R SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

For models without NCCB (NISSAN Car-
bon Ceramic Brake) package:
NISSAN generally recommends to replace
all four sets of brake pads and disc rotors
at the same time to maintain maximum
brake performance.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 certified tech-
nician 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 be-
comes 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 repeat-
edly 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. We recommend
contacting a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
for replacement.
NCCB (NISSAN Carbon Ceramic
Brake) (if so equipped)Replacement of brake pads and
disc rotorsWhen replacing brake pads and brake
disc rotors, NISSAN recommends repla-
cing two sets of them at the same time.

However, the brake pads can be sepa-
rately replaced only when a GT-R certified
technician judges that the brake disc
rotors are reusable, based on a measured
weight and a check for scratches and
cracks.EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPETThe GT-R exhaust system is designed to
provide the maximum vehicle perfor-
mance 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 cause damage to the under-
body. 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)
NOTICE
Never allow polishes with com-
pounds, because there is a possibi-
lity that the titanium muffler finisher
coloring will be changed.
