REPLENISHING COOLANT
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Check the coolant level in the pressurized
coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that the
fluid is between the MAX and MIN markings. For
the coolant, use genuine NISSAN Long Life
coolant. (On delivery of new vehicle, the
reservoir is filled to the MIN level. Be sure to
replenish approximately 0.3 to 0.4 US quart (0.3
to 0.4 liter) of coolant.)
NOTICE
Do not overfill the coolant. This may
increase the pressure in the cooling
system and cause coolant leaks.
COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant
mixture ratio should be a combination of 30%
antifreeze and 70% demineralized or distilled
water for maximum cooling system performance
regardless of ambient temperatures.
If ambient temperatures are anticipated below
5
8F (−158C), make sure a proper mixture ratio of
50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or
distilled water mix is used.
COOL DOWN
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of
the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely
high. Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to
80 km/h), in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to
5 km) and then stop the engine.
BRAKE PAD
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
NISSAN recommends adding an additional
cross spring to the front calipers before enga-
ging in performance driving. The additional
spring reduces brake pad movement resulting
from cornering forces and will reduce the stroke
of the brake pedal. Contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer to purchase the spring and
arrange installation.
Break-in procedure
NISSAN recommends that a special brake pad
break in procedure be performed before enga-
ging in performance driving. Contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for details.
NOTICE
At the completion of performance driv-
ing, all fluid and other adjustments
should be returned to the normal fluid
specifications as shown in the “Main-
tenance and do-it-yourself” section of
this manual.
