ENGINE OUTPUT
High altitudeTo protect the engine, engine output is
controlled so that it does not increase at
altitude of approximately 3,281 ft (1,000
m) or higher.Engine output according to the
coolant temperatureThe engine output is controlled at a low
level when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is lower than approximately 158°F
(70°C) or higher than 230°F (110°C). This is
not a malfunction. If the temperature is lower than approxi-
mately 158°F (70°C), drive the vehicle until
it reaches normal operating temperature.
If the temperature is higher than 230°F
(110°C), perform cool-down driving proce-
dure. (
“Cool down” page GTR-14)
When the temperature of the engine
coolant is between 158°F (70°C) and
230°F (110°C), the engine output returns
to normal.
UNEVEN WEAR OF TIRESThe GT-R is equipped with high perfor-
mance, 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

For models without NCCB (NISSAN
Carbon Ceramic Brake) package:Follow the instructions below when
parking the vehicle to help prevent
the brake rotor and brake pads from
rusting 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 effectiveness of the brake
system which could cause a collision,
serious personal 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 repla-
cement, the brake pad to brake rotor clearance is very small. When parking,
apply the parking brake and move the
shift lever to the
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
certified 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.

BRAKE SYSTEM INFORMATION
Cracks on brake padThe friction material of the GT-R disc
brake pad is bonded to the pad backing
plate more strongly than conventional
brake pads to withstand 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 deal-
er.
. This is due to the temperature
differential that occurs because the sur-
faces of the disc rotors become hot while
the inside of the rotor is still cold. How-
ever, this poses no problem in terms of
brake performance, and does not indicate
a malfunction. The brakes do not need to

Rattles from brake pads and creaks
during braking
The high performance brake system of
vehicles equipped with the NCCB (NISSAN
Carbon Ceramic Brake) has more clear-
ance between its brake pad and brake
caliper than regular vehicles, and it uses a
large brake pad to ensure stable brakingperformance under a wide range of driv-
ing conditions such as extremely high
temperature areas or low temperature
areas like snow-covered roads. Accord-
ingly, you may hear light rattles from the
brake pad area when driving over a step,
which is not a malfunction. In addition,
you will hear creaks because of the
characteristics of the material for the disc
rotor. These creaks reduce with time and
wear.
Never park your vehicle for a long time
with the brake system wet.
The materials used for the brake disc
rotor and brake pads for specified NCCB
(NISSAN Carbon Ceramic Brake) are dif-
ferent from those used for the standard
brake system in GT-R. The rotor and pads
will be protected from adhesion caused
by rusting. However, never park your
vehicle for a long time with the brake
system wet. This helps maintain the brake
disc rotor and brake pads for a long time
and prevents an influence on the material
composition of the carbon ceramic rotor
and deterioration in the joint of brake disc
rotor’s full floating structure. Especially
during winter, be sure to park your vehicle
with the brake disc rotor and pads dry to
prevent them from being frozen and
damaged in below freezing temperature
conditions. The carbon ceramic brake forGT-R includes air bubbles in the rotor and
pads. Note that leaving them in the wet
condition tends to cause adhesion due to
freezing.
.
A screeching noise may be heard
when the brake pedal is depressed:
— When driving the vehicle for the first
time in the morning,
— After leaving the vehicle parked for extended periods of time, or
— When the vehicle is damp following rain showers or washing the vehi-
cle.
These sounds are normal. The noise is
caused when the brake pads absorb
moisture, and the noise stops after
the brake is applied several times.
. A screeching noise may also be heard
when the brake pedal is depressed:
— When repeatedly applying gentle
braking, especially on a curve at a
low speed, or
— When the brake rotors have circular scores with the brake temperature
high.
. The NCCB (NISSAN Carbon Ceramic
Brake) causes more screeching noise
in cold weather conditions than in
normal weather conditions.

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.

Changing modes
.
The higher shift speeds in the
position may result in shift shock and jerkiness when starting or shifting.
.
The quickest shifting in the R mode with the transmission in the
position 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.
