. Using non-genuine GT-R tires may affect the
operation of the VDC system.
Tire replacement:
. When tire replacement is required, replacing
tires as a set of four with new tires is
recommended. However, if a tire is punctu-
red or damaged, it may be possible to
replace only the damaged tire. Determining
whether one tire or a complete set of tires
should be replaced is based on a number of
factors including tire wear and condition.
Contact your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
They can recommend if an individual tire or a
complete set should be replaced.
. The GT-R uses specially designed run-flat
tires which have a rigid side wall. Special
equipment and procedures are required
when replacing these tires. NISSAN recom-
mends 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 deforma-
tions 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. Contact a GT-R certified dealer if
the tires need to be removed from the
wheels.
. When reusing tires, contact a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer.
Road wheels
Using non-genuine GT-R wheels may cause the
following:
. vehicle vibration
. the tire coming loose from the wheel during
a flat tire
. reduced wheel lug nut tightness
SUSPENSION
Genuine GT-R special suspension
Use only genuine GT-R special suspension
components.
Using non-genuine GT-R suspension compo-
nents can affect vehicle performance and may
cause body damage when driving depending on
the road conditions.
BRAKE PAD AND DISC ROTOR
Genuine GT-R brake pads and disc rotors
Use only genuine GT-R brake pads and disc
rotors.
This v ehicle is equipped with cross-dr illed
floating rotors and radial-mounted six-piston
monoblock calipers. This helps to achieve
excellent stopping performance and fade-resis-
tance.
Using non-genuine GT-R Brake pads or rotors
can affect vehicle braking performance and the
operation of the ABS and VDC system.
Replacement of brake pads and disc
rotors
NISSAN generally recommends to replace all
four sets of brake pads and disc rotors at the
same time to maintain maximum brake perfor-
mance.
However, replacing only the brake pads may be
allowed in some cases (four wheels or only front
wheels depending on the conditions). A GT-R
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
