been tested on a test circuit to ensure the
suspension components “settle” prior to ship-
ping. Following this circuit test the odometer
reading at the time of vehicle shipment is as
listed. Please note a small amount of additional
mileage may have been added in the subse-
quent onward transportation. In addition your
GT-R has been inspected and tested by the
factory test personnel. The titanium muffler
specifications are provided on a label under
the console lid should the muffler need to be
adjusted. Please do not remove the label from
the console lid. See a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer for detailed information.
If a non-genuine titanium muffler is used, the
muffler may become deformed and damage the
underbody due to the high performance engine
reaching high exhaust gas temperatures
(1,832
8F (1,0008C) or more). The highest-class
titanium alloy is used for genuine parts to ensure
the resistance strength and creeping character-
istics against high exhaust gas temperature. In
addition, further cooling effects are secured by
adopting additional cooling fins and by applying
partial plate thickness reduction. Since genuine
titanium mufflers are made of titanium alloy, the
surface color will change depending on the
driving conditions, which is not unusual. Prior to
shipping from factory, all vehicles receive
balance aligning for engine, transmission, and
clutch, as well as quench driving of brake pads
and rotors. As a result, the muffler surface color
may differ depending on the vehicle.
Never 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.
Never Allow Oil or Grease to Adhere to the
Titanium Muffler.
If the muffler is heated when oil or grease adhere
to the muffler surface, the color of this area will
be different from that of the surrounding area. To
remove the oil or grease, check that the surface
temperature of the muffler has cooled, wash the
area with a neutral detergent, wipe it with a
brake cleaner-sprayed clean shop cloth and
gently tap it with a dry shop cloth to dry. Be
careful not to allow the brake cleaner to splatter
on rubber parts, bumper, etc. DRY CARBON FIBER PARTS (if so
equipped)
Because of the characteristics of the material,
the dry carbon fiber parts may turn yellow due to
exposure to ultraviolet rays. The surfaces of dry
carbon fiber parts are coated with a special
ultraviolet protection paint. To maintain the
appearance of these parts, it is important to
take proper care of them.
NOTICE
. Do not use compound agents on
clear-coated dry carbon fiber parts
(such as the NISMO model’s bum-
per, side sill protector, rear spoiler,
etc.).
. Do not use any chemical agents
(wax, coating agent, compound
agent, etc.) on matte-painted dry
carbon fiber parts (such as the rear
diffuser, a rear spoiler that is of
specifications other than NISMO,
etc.).
. When dry carbon fiber parts become
dirty, prepare a dilute cleaning solu-
tion by mixing one capful of mild
detergent in a bucket of water, and
