the clutch and the lubrication of the gear
bearings.
The use of additives is prohibited.
The use of additives or other transmission oil
may cause internal transmission or clutch
damage.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL (front and rear)
Castrol SAF-XJ 75W-140 (100% synthetic
oil)
The GT-R uses a 1.5-Way mechanical Limited
Slip Differential (LSD) to maximize driving power
under many operating conditions. Use the
specified differential oil to maximize the perfor-
mance of the LSD. Also use the same oil for the
front differential.
The use of additives is prohibited.
Using additives or any other than the specified
differential oil may cause the oil temperature to
increase and the final drive damaged. Also it may
cause vibration and adversely the vehicle hand-
ling characteristics.
BRAKE FLUID
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special
II
Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid R35 Special II is
the factory fill brake fluid. The Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) unit and other related parts were
specially designed for this brake fluid. NISSAN
cannot ensure the best performance and proper
operation of the vehicle if other brake fluid is
used.
TIRES AND ROAD WHEELS
Genuine GT-R tires and road wheels
Use only genuine GT-R tires and road wheels.
Tires
The GT-R uses specially designed run-flat tires
and matching road wheels. Use of these
specially developed tires and wheels provides
the greatest potential for maximum performance.
— Using non-genuine GT-R tires may cause
powertrain system damage if the vehicle is
driven in a flat tire situation, even if run flat
tires are used.
— Using non-genuine GT-R tires may also
cause tire failure due to excessive heat
buildup caused by tire distortion while
driving.
— Using non-genuine GT-R tires may affect the
operation of the VDC system.
Road wheels
Using non-genuine GT-R wheels may cause the
following:
— vehicle vibration
— the tire coming loose from the wheel during
a flat tire
— reduced wheel lug nut tightness
SUSPENSION
Genuine GT-R special suspension
Use only genuine GT-R special suspension
components.
Using non-genuine GT-R suspension compo-
nents can affect vehicle performance and may
cause body damage when driving depending on
the road conditions.
BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTOR
Genuine GT-R brake pads and disc rotors
Use only genuine GT-R brake pads and disc
rotors.
This vehicle is equipped with cross-drilled
floating rotors and radial-mounted six-piston
monoblock calipers. This helps to achieve
excellent stopping performance and fade-resis-
tance. Replace all four sets of brake pads and
disc rotors at the same time to maintain
maximum brake performance.
Using non-genuine GT-R Brake pads or rotors
can affect vehicle braking performance and the
operation of the ABS and VDC system.
