GT-R Performance Optimization Services

In addition to the regular maintenance recommended by NISSAN, the GT-R requires the following Inspections;
Measurement and adjustment of wheel alignment if needed (unladen with fuel and lubricants full, including tire
pressure adjustment) Note 1
● Note 1: This vehicle is equipped with a high performance suspension. As the suspension components Љbreak-inЉ, the

vehicle’s wheel alignment needs to be measured and adjusted by a GT-R certified dealer at the recommended intervals.
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 adjusted by your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer before any
performance driving on closed circuit tracks. Obey all traffic laws when on public roads.

Toe-in specification
Front: 0.059 in (1.5 mm)
Rear: 0.079 in (2.0 mm)

Engine settings (balancing of air flow for left and right banks) Note 2

● Note 2: Each cylinder bank of this engine operates independently due to the vehicle’s twin turbocharger 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.

Increase tightening of the drive shaft and center nut on hub Note 3
● Note 3: 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 lock nuts
should be properly tightened every time the inspection is performed.

Transmission settings Note 4
● Note 4: The design of the clutch and transmission requires inspection and adjustment of the clutch and shift forks by a

GT-R certified NISSAN dealer at the recommended intervals. Depending on driving conditions, more frequent
adjustments may be necessary to help maximize vehicle performance.
