Suspension and wheel alignment

. Check the steering and suspension system

and other links for loose and/or damaged
parts.

. Measure and adjust the wheel alignment.

Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer to
adjust the wheel alignment to the recom-
mended setting for normal driving.

Wheels and tires

. Check tire wear and cracking.
. Inspect the tire side wall for damage.
. Check the tire pressure and adjust the

pressure as necessary when the tires are
cold. (

“Wheels and tires” page GTR-

17) If you do not drive under the conditions
listed in this section, see (

“Wheels and

tires” page 8-32)

. Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.

Check if there is no deformation on the
contact surface of the wheel nuts.

. Make sure the wheel nuts are tight.

(

“Wheels and tires” page 8-32)

. Make sure the drive shaft nuts are tight.
. Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel

rotates smoothly without any friction. Check
these with the tires removed whenever an

inspection is performed with the vehicle
jacked up.

. Make sure the tire has not slipped on the

wheel causing the assembly to be out of
balance. The reference marks on the tire and
wheel should be aligned. If the reference
marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on
the wheel. Have the wheels/tires reba-
lanced. Make sure the old reference marks
are erased and new reference marks are
applied to the wheel and tire. When instal-
ling new tires on the wheels, make sure new
reference marks are applied to the wheels
and tires. (

. Make sure that the TPMS sensor installation

nuts and the sensor valve are tight and there
is no nitrogen leak.

Brakes

. Check for the heat deterioration of the

brakes and parts around the brakes.

. Check the condition of the brake pads and

disc rotors and replace them as necessary.

Engine and powertrain

. Check the engine, transmission, differential

and under the vehicle for oil and coolant

leaks.

. Inspect the area surrounding the catalytic

converter for heat deterioration.

. 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).

. The clutch clearance and shift fork position

may need to be adjusted.

. Inspect the dust boot of the drive shaft

universal joint for cracks or damage.

. Check that there is no abnormal noise,

vibrations or warning lights illuminated when
making tight turns at slow speed (for tight
corner braking phenomenon).
