The GT-R dual clutch transmission was developed specifically to maximize vehicle performance and driving enjoyment. The GT-R transmission components were designed using different engineering standards than typical passenger car transmissions. Because of this, the GT-R has different operating characteristics, and various rattle noises may be heard during some driving conditions because of the following items: . Gear clearances . Ultralight flywheel . Dry sump lubrication These noises do not indicate that there is a malfunction.

TRANSMISSION OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS GUID-DC9FD7D2-9CD4-46F9-AFB8-A7B5A93B4FE1 Mechanism Operation characteristics . The GT-R transmission design is different from transmissions used in conventional passenger cars. The GT-R uses a transmission gear design, light flywheel and a dry sump lubrication system to provide maximum vehicle performance. Because the GT-R Transmission design is different, noises may be louder. When the transmission temperature is high, rattling, shaking and jarring noises may be heard. . Clattering noises may be heard while shifting. Base Manual transmission . Appropriate gaps are provided between gears to achieve smooth gear rotation and steady tooth surface lubrication under the high-load driving condition. However, this causes a rattling noise. . If the shift lever is moved from &R to &A ↔&M position, or &A ↔&M to &R position before the vehicle stops, you may not be able to shift gear or it may take longer to shift gear. Make sure to depress the brake pedal and check that the vehicle has stopped before shifting. . When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in the &R or &A ↔&M position, be sure to firmly depress the brake pedal. The vehicle may slowly move if the brake pedal is not depressed. . Avoid depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. Depressing the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time could Multiple-disc wet clutch cause the clutch to overheat and accelerate deterioration. . When the vehicle is stopped on a hill, do not hold the vehicle in place by depressing the accelerator pedal. Doing so may cause the clutch to overheat and result in transmission damage. Use the brakes to prevent the vehicle from moving. The following conditions are caused due to changes in fluid viscosity as a result of temperature changes. . When the transmission oil is extremely cold or extremely hot, the transmission may feel like it is slipping during shifts or there may be hard Electronic oil pressure shifts. This is normal. Transmission shifting should return to normal when the transmission oil returns to normal operating temperatures. control . When the transmission oil temperature is extremely cold, the time required to run a system check may increase. During the system check, the shift lever must stay in the &P position. Move the shift lever after turning off the system check display. Also, it is normal to hear clicking noises during the transmission systems check. . The higher shift speeds in the &M position may result in shift shock and jerkiness when starting or shifting. Changing modes . The quickest shifting in the R mode with the transmission in the &M position is available when the engine speed is high. However, the transmission may shift more slowly when the engine speed is low. If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned half a turn in cold temperatures, the inner wheel tire may slip and some Mechanical Limited Slip noise or vibration may be heard. This phenomenon occurs because the viscosity of the differential oil becomes thicker and the Limited Slip Differential (LSD) Differential (LSD) operates with increasing load. When the steering wheel is returned to the straight ahead position or the differential oil warms up, the noise and vibration decrease.

Mechanism Operation characteristics If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned half a turn in cold temperatures, it may be hard to move the vehicle when Electronically-controlled the accelerator pedal is depressed. This phenomenon is unique to AWD vehicles and is caused by the speed difference between the front and All-wheel drive (AWD) rear wheel. This is not a malfunction. Resolve the phenomenon by returning the steering wheel to the straight ahead position. This phenomenon can be reduced if certain conditions are met. ( “Tight corner braking phenomenon” page 5-43) . An ultralight flywheel is provided to achieve rapid engine response to the accelerator pedal operation. The engine rotation fluctuations Ultralight flywheel become larger than conventional vehicles. Rattling, shaking or jarring noises may be heard when idling or driving at a low speed. . Rattling noises may be heard when the engine is started or stopped.

WARNING

. Every person who drives or rides in this vehicle should use a seat belt at all times. Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat and, if appropriate, in a child restraint. . The seat belt should be properly adjusted to a snug fit. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the entire restraint system and increase the chance or severity of GPR0032 injury in an accident. Serious injury or death can occur if the seat belt is not worn properly. . Always route the shoulder belt over your shoulder and across your chest. Never put the belt behind your back, under your arm or across your neck. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. . Position the lap belt as low and snug as possible AROUND THE HIPS, NOT THE WAIST. A lap belt worn too high could increase the GPR0033 risk of internal injuries in an accident.

WARNING

. The front air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower severity frontal collision. Always wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents. . The front passenger air bag will not inflate if the passenger air bag status light is lit or if the front GPR0068 passenger seat is unoccupied. Sit upright and well back. ( “Front passenger air bag and status light” page 1-41) . The seat belts and the front air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat. The front air bags inflate with great force. Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, if you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting sideways or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the front air bag if you are up GPR0069 against it when it inflates. Always sit Sit upright and well back.

CAUTION

. NEVER remove dirt, sand or other debris from the passenger compartment by washing it out with a hose. Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner. . Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.

Chemicals used for road surface deicing are extremely corrosive. They accelerate corrosion and deterioration of underbody components such as the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables, floor pan and fenders. In winter, the underbody must be cleaned periodically. For additional protection against rust and corrosion, which may be required in some areas, it is recommended you consult a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

straight-running stability caused by uneven tire wear due to high rigidity wheels and wide tires. . The GT-R uses specially designed run- flat tires which feature an extremely rigid side wall. Special techniques and equipment are therefore required when replacing these tires. NISSAN recommends that tire replacement be performed at a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. . Specific tire changing equipment must be used to remove the GT-R tires from the wheel and to install the GT-R tires onto the wheel. It is only possible to reuse the tires when they have no cracks and/or deformations on the bead portion of the tire. If the incorrect equipment is used to remove the GT-R tires from the wheel and to install the GT-R tires onto the wheel, cracks and deformation may occur on the bead portion of the tires meaning that the tires cannot be reused. It is recommended you contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer if the tires need to be removed from the wheels.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
