PRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Working Range at a Regular Dealership

INFOID:0000000009180199

CAUTION:

The service items unmentioned on this manual are recommended to be performed by a GT-R certified
NISSAN dealer. Because those service items require special equipment and a GT-R certified technical
staff who completed special training.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT 
PRE-TENSIONER"

INFOID:0000000009163809

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in

the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal

injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see “SRS AIR BAG”.

• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-

vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS

WARNING:

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the

ignition ON or engine running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with
a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the

battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnection

INFOID:0000000009163810

CAUTION:

Comply with the following cautions to prevent any error and malfunction.
• Before removing and installing any control units, first turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position,

then disconnect both battery cables.

• After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect

both battery cables.

• Always use CONSULT to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing

work. If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnosis results.

For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the battery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

1.

Connect both battery cables.

Revision: 2012 November

2014 GT-R

FSU-4

< PRECAUTION >

PRECAUTIONS

NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.

2.

Turn the ignition switch to ACC position.
(At this time, the steering lock will be released.)

3.

Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.

4.

Perform the necessary repair operation.

5.

When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering wheel will lock
when the ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)

6.

Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover

INFOID:0000000009163811

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.

Precaution for Battery Service

INFOID:0000000009163812

Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interfer-
ence between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the
window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic
window function will not work with the battery disconnected.

Aluminum Die-Casting Parts Handling

INFOID:0000000009163813

PROHIBITION OF WELDING OR BEATING REPAIR

• Material made of aluminum die-casting parts is heat-treated and looses strength when being exposed to

welding heat. Do not perform welding repair for cracks, damage or others.

• For aluminum die-casting parts deformation, do not perform repair by beating. Always repair by replacement

as an assembly.

CRACK CHECK

When the vehicle is damaged, always perform a visual deformation check and a crack check.

Crack Check Procedures

For a crack check, use dye penetrant inspection fluid (pre-cleaning fluid, penetrant fluid and developer fluid).

CAUTION:

Always perform a crack check in accordance with the procedures specified by the manufacturer of the
dye penetrant inspection fluid.
1.

Spray pre-cleaning fluid on the checking surface for cleaning.

2.

Spray penetrant fluid on the checking surface and wait until the penetrant fluid soaks into any cracks.

3.

Wipe off excessive penetrant fluid, and then also lightly wipe off penetrant fluid using a wet cloth.

4.

Spray developer fluid on the checking surface.

5.

Cracks, if any, are dyed red in color.

STRAY CURRENT CORROSION

• Corrosion occurs to aluminum die-casting parts by the stray current corrosion phenomenon, when directly

contacting other parts made of steel. Always apply anti-stray current corrosion paint (primer) on the mount-
ing surface.

• Clean mounting surface to prevent any foreign matter, steel powder or others from being mixed in. Always

apply the specified adhesive when installing.

• Corrosion by stray current corrosion may occur when installing with any other bolts than the specified bolt.

Always use the specified bolt that is surface treated.

• When loosening the specified bolt that is tightened, the treated surface may peel. Never reuse the specified

bolt that is tightened once.

TIGHTENING TORQUE CONTROL

Material made of aluminum die-casting parts is soft in term of hardness. Tightening torque must be controlled
exactly as specified. Always use a torque wrench to install any part to the specified tightening torque.

WARNING:

Never use a power tool to remove or tighten bolts for aluminum die-casting part to prevent damage to
aluminum die-casting parts.

General Precautions

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009163819

DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
• If kingpin inclination angle is outside the standard, check front suspension parts for wear and dam-

age. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.

• Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
• Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. 
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Jack, hand tools and mats are in
designated positions.

PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check the following:
• Tires for improper pressure and wear.
• Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to 

FAX-5, "Inspection"

.

• Transverse link or upper link ball joint axial end play.
• Shock absorber operation.
• Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
• Each of front suspension member, shock absorber, upper link and transverse link for cracks, deformation

and other damage.

• Vehicle height (posture).

GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
- This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is

centered.

- The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
- The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.
• Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
- Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
- Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration Sched-

ule.

ALIGNMENT PROCESS

IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.
• When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or

minus, Go/No Go). Do not use these indicators.

- The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-

rect.

- This may result in an ERROR.
• See instructions in the alignment machine.

Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009163820

CAUTION:

• This work is recommended to be performed by GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
• Adjust wheel alignment with the vehicle in customer's regular use condition (e.g. normal stock

items), with the fuel in full-tank condition, and with no one in the vehicle.

• To adjust wheel alignment, set tire pressure at 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm

2

, 36 psi). After adjusting wheel

alignment, adjust tire pressure to the specified value. Refer to 

WT-13, "Tire"

.

TOE-IN

Loosen the steering outer socket, and then adjust the length using steering inner socket. 

Revision: 2012 November

2014 GT-R

FSU-8

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

CAUTION:

• Always evenly adjust both toe-in alternately and adjust the difference between the left and right to

the standard. 

• Always fix the steering inner socket when tightening the steering outer socket. 
• Always adjust to toe-in. The toe changes, depending on an attitude change or a permanent set of

bush. Accordingly, the state of the front wheels change to toe-out and the rear wheels, toe-in. If the
wheels change to toe-out, tire partial wear is accelerated and local heating may be accelerated in the
inner side of tires.

• Always adjust toe-in to 1.5 mm (0.059 in) or less because too much toe-in may promote local heat

generation.

• Engaging in performance driving on a racetrack and ultra-high-speed driving, be sure to adjust toe-

in to 1.5 mm (0.059 in) or less. If used beyond this range, it is not covered by the warranty.

CAMBER

Loosen the mounting nut of transverse link (1) and front suspension
member, and then adjust using adjust bolt (2). 

CAUTION:

Always hold the adjust bolt firmly when tightening nut.

CASTER

Remove the upper link mounting bolts (body side), and then adjust
them using the thickness (increasing and decreasing) of shims (A).

EXCEPT TRACK PACK-SPECIFIC SUSPENSION : Wheel Alignment

INFOID:0000000009163838

CAUTION:

• This work is recommended to be performed by GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
• Adjust wheel alignment with the vehicle in customer's regular use condition (e.g. normal stock

items), with the fuel in full-tank condition, and with no one in the vehicle.

• To adjust wheel alignment, set tire pressure at 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm

2

, 36 psi). After adjusting wheel

alignment, adjust tire pressure to the specified value. Refer to 

WT-13, "Tire"

.

CAMBER, TOE-IN

Setting guide depending on the customer’s driving

• Adjust wheel alignment to the customer’s driving style.
• Never set to toe-out.
- Always adjust to toe-in. If the wheels change to toe-out, tire partial wear is accelerated and local heating may

be accelerated in the inner side of tires.

- Always adjust toe-in to 1.5 mm (0.059 in) or less because too much toe-in may promote local heat genera-

tion.

- For the above reasons, always adjust to toe-in for the vehicle of a customer who drives on a racetrack.
- Engaging in performance driving on a racetrack and ultra-high-speed driving, be sure to adjust toe-in to 1.5

mm (0.059 in) or less. If used beyond this range, it is not covered by the warranty.

• When driving on a racetrack, recommend to adjust the alignment to the “Performance driving on a racetrack”

setting. If the negative camber angle is insufficient driving on a technical course including many tight turns
may result in wear on the outside of the tire and this can cause an accident. [To avoid uneven wear, servicing
the vehicle after performance driving (at the customer's expense) is recommended to result the alignment to
the original setting.]

• Wheel alignment can be changed in process of time and mileage, as suspension parts do not adjust to each

other up to the mileage of about 1,000 miles or 2,000 km.

• Remarks for up to the mileage of 1,000 miles or 2,000 km
