NISSAN 2014 GT R - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 16)

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.
TRANSMISSION SETTINGS
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. If the
transmission setting is not complete, excessive
loads may be applied to the transmission and
power train system parts during starting and
shifting, which may result in a malfunction or
damage. Depending on the driving conditions,
more frequent adjustments may be necessary to
help maximize vehicle performance.
CHECKING THE EXHAUST FIN-
ISHER AND REAR BUMPER
CLEARANCE
Clearance between the enlarged-diameter ex-
haust finisher and the rear bumper is realized by
using highly rigid exhaust mount rubber to
control rear muffler vibration. The clearance
between the exhaust finisher and the rear
bumper may alter as the exhaust mount rubber
changes shape due to vibration, passage of time
and high exhaust temperature during high
performance driving. Therefore, inspection of
the clearance is necessary during the GT-R
special inspection and when engaging in
performance driving.
INCREASE TIGHTENING OF THE
STRUT SUPPORT BAR ATTACH-
MENT SECTION WITH THE SHOCK
ABSORBER
During the first GT-R special inspection (after
1,000 miles), the strut support bar attachment
bracket and shock absorber (each one on the
left and right sides) must be tightened to the
specified tightening specification. The strut
support bar attachment bracket and shock
absorber (each one on the left and right sides)
must be tightened to the specified tightening
specification 300-600 miles (500-1,000 km)
after the support bar or shock absorber have
been removed or installed.
