GTR-16 GT-R Overview
. NISSAN recommends that the brakes
should be bled before engaging in perfor-
mance driving and when replacing the brake
fluid. It is recommended that bleeding the
brake be performed when the brake calipers
are hot (about 212
8F (1008C)).
. Inspect to see whether the clearance
between the exhaust finisher and rear
bumper is maintained at above 0.24 in (6
mm) (up/down) and above 0.20 in (5 mm)
(left/right).
Brake pad:
. When engaging in high performance driving
for the first time after purchasing a new
vehicle, after replacing the brake fluid, or
when engaging in high performance driving
for a sustained period of time, it is recom-
mended that you remove air from the brake
fluid.
. NISSAN recommends adding an additional
cross spring to the front calipers before
engaging in performance driving. The addi-
tional 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.
If a cross spring is added, a clattering or
squeaking sound may be heard on rare
occasions.
Brake pad 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.
