Coolant level and mixture ratio

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 3/8 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.

To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant
mixture ratio should be a combination of 30%
coolant antifreeze and 70% demineralized or
distilled water for maximum cooling system
performance regardless of ambient tempera-
tures.

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.

Engine and powertrain

The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.

. Check the engine, transmission, differential

and under the vehicle for oil and coolant
leaks.

. Inspect the areas surrounding of the cata-

lytic converter for heat deterioration.

. Before engaging in performance driving,

appropriate clutch adjustment must be
performed by your GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.

NOTICE

Failure to have the clutch properly
adjusted before performance driving
may cause the transmission oil tem-
perature to increase which may cause
transmission damage.

. Inspect and confirm the clearance between

the exhaust finisher and rear bumper is more
than 0.24 in (6 mm) (up/down) and more
than 0.20 in (5 mm) (left/right).
