The information and specifications below apply only when engaging in performance driving.
Perform inspections and adjustments mentioned below before and after driving.
  • Measure and adjust the wheel alignment.
  • Check tire wear.
  • Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure as necessary when the wheels are cold.
  • Make sure the tire valve stem cap is installed and that the valve stem is tight.
  • Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.
  • Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
  • Secure road wheel balance weights with aluminum tape or equivalent.
  • Make sure the tire has not slipped on the wheel causing the assembly to be out of balance. The reference marks on the tire and wheel should be aligned. If the reference marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on the wheel. Have the wheels/tires rebalanced. Make sure the old reference marks are erased and new reference marks are applied to the wheel and tire. When installing new tires on the wheels, make sure new reference marks are applied to the wheels and tires.
  • Check for the heat deterioration of the brakes and parts around the brakes.
  • NISSAN recommends that the brakes should be bled before engaging in performance driving and when replacing the brake fluid. It is recommended that bleeding the brake be performed when the brake calipers are hot [about 212°F (100°C)].
  • Check the engine, transmission, differential and under the vehicle for oil and coolant leaks.
  • Before engaging in performance driving, the clutch clearance may need to be adjusted, See a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for information.
    ■ CAUTION ■
    Failure to have the clutch properly adjusted before performance driving may cause the transmission oil temperature to increase which may cause transmission damage.
  • Check the steering and suspension system and other links for loose and/or damaged parts before and after driving.
