the wheels. The tire may slip on the wheel if
the vehicle is driven in these conditions
before 48 hours have passed. If the tire slips
on the wheel, the wheel/tire assembly will be
out of balance and will require rebalancing.
Brakes
The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.
. Check for the heat deterioration of the
brakes and parts around the brakes.
. It is recommended that you remove air from
the brake system after any of the following:
— When engaging in high performance
driving for the first time after purchasing
a new vehicle.
— After replacing the brake fluid.
— When engaging in high performance
driving for a sustained period of time. It
is recommended that bleeding the brake
be performed when the brake calipers
are hot (about 212
8F (1008C)).
Brake pad:
NISSAN recommends adding an additional
cross spring to the front calipers before enga-
ging in performance driving. The additional
spring reduces brake pad movement resulting
from cornering forces and will reduce the stroke
of the brake pedal. Contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer to purchase the spring and
arrange installation. If a cross spring is added, a
clattering or squeaking sound may be heard on
rare occasions.
Brake pad break-in procedure:
NISSAN recommends that a special brake pad
break-in procedure be performed before enga-
ging in performance driving. Contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for details.
