Coolant level and mixture ratio

The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.

Check the coolant level in the pressurized
coolant reservoir. Adjust the level so that the
fluid is between the MAX and MIN markings. For
the coolant, use genuine NISSAN Long Life
coolant. (On delivery of new vehicle, the
reservoir is filled to the MIN level. Be sure to
replenish approximately 3/8 US quart (0.3 to 0.4
liter) of coolant.)

NOTICE

Do not overfill the coolant. This may
increase the pressure in the cooling
system and cause coolant leaks.

To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant
mixture ratio should be a combination of 30%
coolant antifreeze and 70% demineralized or
distilled water for maximum cooling system
performance regardless of ambient tempera-
tures.
If ambient temperatures are anticipated below
5

8F (

í158C), make sure a proper mixture ratio of

50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or
distilled water mix is used.

Engine and powertrain

The information and specifications in this
section apply only when engaging in
performance driving.

.

Check the engine, transmission, differential
and under the vehicle for oil and coolant
leaks.

.

Inspect the areas surrounding of the cata-
lytic converter for heat deterioration.

.

Always perform the transmission setting.
After that, adjust the clutch clearance so
that the clearance is less than the clearance
used for daily driving. Your GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer has the necessary informa-
tion and equipment to set the clutch
clearance to the correct specification. The
clearance used for daily driving increases
clutch heat generated during Performance
Driving. This leads to an increase in tem-
perature of the transmission oil. In addition, a
more direct shifting feel can be obtained by
reducing the clutch clearance for Perfor-
mance Driving. The clutch clearance should
be reset to the daily driving specification
after Performance Driving. See your GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for information.
