GT-R Overview

certified technician must inspect the vehicle and
determine that only the brake pads need to be
replaced. In this case, replacing all brake pads
and disc rotors as a set is not necessary.
Note that the replacement of brake pads and the
disc rotors as a set on all four wheels should be
performed when a GT-R certified technician
determines that this is the correct repair.
If the inside of the disc rotors are cold during the
winter and the surface becomes hot due to a
heavy force being applied repeatedly to the
brakes, cracks may occur near the coolant hole
on the surface of the disc rotor. Cracks may also
occur due to a heavy force being repeatedly
applied to the brakes during high performance
driving. In these cases it may be necessary to
replace the disc rotors or brake pads depending
on the condition of the crack. Contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for replacement.

EXHAUST MUFFLER AND TRUNK
CARPET

The GT-R exhaust system is designed to provide
the maximum vehicle performance and to
protect the vehicle from high exhaust gas
temperatures.
If non-genuine GT-R exhaust system parts are
used it is possible that the muffler or other
exhaust system parts will deform and cause

damage to the underbody. Non-genuine GT-R
exhaust system parts can also affect vehicle
performance and possibly lead to turbocharger,
engine or power train related parts including
transmission, damage.
Also, do not remove the trunk carpet from the
vehicle for any reason. The carpet insulates the
vehicle interior from the heat of the muffler and
from the noise of the transmission.

that provides the body to the

titanium muffler clearance specification (for
example rear bumper to muffler tube clearance).
Since the exhaust gas temperature of the high
performance engine reaches a high temperature
(1,832

8F (1,0008C) or more), the muffler may be

deformed or lowered due to the heat and then
the underbody or peripheral parts may be
damaged. Therefore, periodic inspections for
the clearance between the muffler and the
peripheral parts are required. Your GT-R has
