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.

NOTICE
.When the temperature of the
engine coolant and transmission
oil is high or low, the function
cannot be used. The temperature
range in which the R mode start
function can be used:
— Engine coolant: 140°F - 212°F
(60°C - 100°C)
— Transmission oil: 140°F - 266°F (60°C - 130°C)
. If the R mode start function is
used 4 times consecutively, the
function may be disabled and
cannot be turned on to protect
the vehicle system. While the function is disabled, the warning
light illuminates. When the warn-
ing light illuminates, perform cool
down driving. (
“Cool down”
page GTR-14) When the warning
light turns off, the function can be
used again.
. The performance of start may
vary depending on the amount
of wheel spin ,or increase and
decrease of the engine output in
response to the outside tempera-
ture. (This vehicle was set up
according to the road surface
conditions of the straight sec-
tions of the Sendai Highland Ra-
ceway course in Japan at 59°F
(15°C).)
. For safety reasons, VDC control
may activate automatically when
driving on a slippery road surface,
such as a wet road, in order to
apply the brakes or limit the
engine output.
. Frequent use of the R mode start
function increases the load on
the powertrain related parts such
as the clutch and transmission
compared to normal driving. In
particular, the clutch will wear out

2. Accelerate your vehicle to the desiredspeed, push the SET/COAST switch
and release it. (The SET indicator will
illuminate in the meter.) Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle speed reaches approxi-
mately 3 MPH (5 km/h) over the set
speed, the set speed on the vehicle
information display blinks.Passing another vehicleTo pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the pre- viously set speed.
Increasing the set vehicle speedTo reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
.
Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/COAST
switch.
. Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE switch. When the vehicle attains
the speed you desire, release the
switch.
. Push and then quickly release the
RESUME/ACCELERATE switch. Each
time you do this, the set speed will
increase by about 1 MPH or 1 km/h.Decreasing the set vehicle speedTo reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
.Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/COAST
switch.
. Push and hold the SET/COAST switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle
slows down to the desired speed.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from roll- ing into the street when parked on a
sloping drive way, it is a good practice
to turn the wheels as illustrated.
.
HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:Turn the wheels into the curb and
move the vehicle forward until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:Turn the wheels away from the
curb and move the vehicle back
until the curb side wheel gently
touches the curb.
.
HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB:Turn the wheels toward the side of
the road so the vehicle will move
away from the center of the road if
it moves.
4. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
For models without NCCB (NISSAN Car-
bon Ceramic Brake) package:
The GT-R uses brake pad materials that
have high metallic content. The brake pad
material helps maintain braking perfor-
mance 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
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.
Additionally, the brakes must be dry
before parking the vehicle after driving
on wet roads or after washing the vehicle.
If the roads are wet, lightly apply the
brakes for a short distance before parking
the vehicle to dry the brakes. After wash-
ing the vehicle, dry the brakes by driving
on a dry road for a few miles and apply
the brakes normally based on traffic and
road conditions.
The metallic brake pads and brake disc
rotor may rust together when the brakes
are not applied:
.
If the vehicle is not idled for 20
seconds without the brakes applied,
or if the brakes are applied when the
vehicle is shut off, the rotor and pads
can rust together, even when the brake pads are dry.
. If the brakes are wet when the vehicle
is parked and the parking brake is
applied for a long time.
It is recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer if the brake pads
and brake rotor have rusted together.

must be added frequently, the system
should be checked. It is recommended
you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN deal-
er.

being uninstalled from the
wheels, use equipment such as a
leverless automatic tire changer.
It is only possible to reuse the
tires when they have no cracks
and/or deformations on the bead
portion. However, if you use a
lever-type tire changer, cracks
and deformation may occur on
the bead portion of the tires
meaning that the tires cannot be
reused.
. 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.
WARNING
.The use of tires other than those
specified or the mixed use of tires
of different brands, construction
(bias, bias-belted, radial or run-
flat), or tread patterns can ad-
versely affect the ride, braking,
VDC system, handling, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speed-
ometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height. Some of
these effects may lead to acci-
dents and could result in serious
personal injury.
. If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with
wheels which have the same off-
set dimension. Wheels of a differ-
ent off-set could cause prema-
ture tire wear, degrade vehicle
handling characteristics, affect
the VDC system and/or cause
interference with the brake discs.
Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency
and/or early brake pad wear.
(
“Wheels and tires” page 10-
10)
. When a wheel is replaced, tire
pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and
the low tire pressure warning
light will flash for approximately
1 minute and 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 re-
setting. .
Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
. The TPMS sensor may be da-
maged if it is not handled cor-
rectly. Be careful when handling
the TPMS sensor.
. When replacing the TPMS sensor,
the ID registration may be re-
quired. Contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer for ID registration.
. Do not use a valve stem cap that
is not specified by NISSAN. The
valve stem cap may become
stuck.
. Be sure that the valve stem caps
are correctly fitted. Otherwise the
valve may be clogged up with dirt
and cause a malfunction or loss
of pressure.
. Do not install a damaged or
deformed wheel or tire even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels
or tires could have structural
damage and could fail without
warning.
. Never use retread tires.
