WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
AND ADJUSTMENT (if necessary)
(including tire pressure adjustment)

This vehicle is equipped with a high perfor-
mance suspension. The vehicle’s wheel align-
ment needs to be measured and adjusted (if
necessary) by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
as necessary as the vehicle is driven and the
suspension parts break-in.

The wheel alignment can be adjusted by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer in accordance with
specifications for city driving to high perfor-
mance driving.

The tires on the GT-R may have different wear
rates and wear patterns in comparison to
conventional passenger vehicles. Contact a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer to confirm that
the alignment is within specifications.

Preventing toe-out:

Toe-out can cause uneven tire wear or
damage to areas inside the tires due to
high heat. Be sure to have the wheel
alignment toe-in setting checked and ad-
justed by your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer before any performance driving on
closed circuit tracks. Obey all traffic laws
when on public roads.

INCREASE TIGHTENING OF THE
DRIVE SHAFT AND CENTER NUT ON
HUB

During the first GT-R special inspection (after
driving 1,000 miles), the front and rear wheel
hub lock nuts (each one on the left and right
sides) must be tightened to the specified
tightening specification. The wheel hub lock
nuts should be properly tightened every time the
inspection is performed.

ENGINE SETTINGS (balancing right
and left air flow)

Each cylinder bank of this engine operates
independently due to the vehicle’s twin turbo-
charger design. Each side of the engine must
operate at the same level of performance. The air
flow of each bank must be checked and
adjusted as necessary by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
