GTR-14 GT-R Overview
the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely
high. Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to
80 km/h), in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to
5 km) and then stop the engine.
Refueling precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank
is full at the first automatic shutoff.
To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is
located as low as possible to lower the vehicle
center of gravity. The tank is also divided into
two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher
pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so
fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.
The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle
is hot, especially if the tank is more than half full.
If the cap is opened when the vehicle is hot, it
may cause fuel spray and there may be a hissing
noise. Open the cap slowly, releasing the
pressure from the tank gradually. Also, if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the
fuel pump may automatically shut off before the
tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a
malfunction. Refuel slowly or refuel after the
vehicle has cooled.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE DRIVING
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
Fluids
. Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under vehicle surfaces for oil and
coolant leaks.
. Check the fluid levels and adjust as neces-
sary using the specified fluid as described
under the conditions listed in this section.
(
“Recommended fluids and mainte-
nance interval” page GTR-20 ) If you do
not drive under the conditions listed, refer to
the 2014 NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide.
. NISSAN recommends to adjust the engine
oil level
*
1 to be 0.39 in (10 mm) (1/8 gal
(0.5 liters))
*
2 below the H mark on the
engine oil dipstick. (
*
3 range is 1.18 in (30
mm)) Before checking the oil level, run the
engine until it reaches operating tempera-
ture and wait at least 5 minutes after turning
off the engine. Make sure the oil level always
remains above the L mark.
When the vehicle is delivered, the engine oil
is set to “H- 0.39 in (10 mm)” for optimal
high performance driving.
. Some amount of oil is consumed by your
engine under normal operating conditions,
and oil consumption by itself does not
