manual.

• The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a

genuine NISSAN radiator cap.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-

ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro-
vide antifreeze protection to -34

F (-37

C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather

where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concen-
trate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufactur's instructions to maintain
minimum antifreeze protection to -34

F (-37

C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other

than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.

• The life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant is 24,000 miles (38,4000 km) or 2 years. Mixing any

other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue), including Gen-
uine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant. Refer to the GT-R Service and Maintenance Guide for more
details.

WARNING:

Be sure to perform this step when engine is stopped.
• Check that the indicator (C) (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range

(A).
NOTE:
• Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
• When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range (B) in the fig-

ure.

• Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
• If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

- Check engine assembly and cooling system for smears and leakage of engine coolant.
- Observe the clearance between the engine and radiator to check that there is no engine coolant collected on

the front under cover.

Additional Inspection

• Check that engine coolant temperature history is not stored in ECM. (This work is recommended to be per-

formed by GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.)

• Perform this additional inspection after driving under conditions listed below:
- Higher-RPM (approaching redline) operation
- Frequent high pedal force braking from moderate and higher speeds
- Frequent throttle activation
- Fast revving throughout the RPM range

Remove front under cover. Refer to

EXT-37, "FRONT UNDER COVER : Exploded View"

Visually check the bottom of the engine for smears and leakage of engine coolant.

LEVEL

• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is at the mid-

point between the “MIN” (B) to “MAX” (A) with the engine cold.

CAUTION:

• If engine coolant level exceeds the MAX line, leakage of

engine coolant may occur during the rise in internal pres-
sure in the engine coolant path. Therefore, thoroughly
check that engine coolant level is below the MAX line.

• Refill Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)

or equivalent in its quality mixed with water (distilled or
demineralized). Refer to

MA-22, "Fluids and Lubricants"

• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.
• Check that the reservoir tank cap is tightened.

LEAKAGE

Engine Assembly

Visually check engine assembly and surround area for smears of engine coolant.

Wipe out smeared engine coolant using part cleaner or the equivalent.

Check again for engine coolant smears.

Radiator and Cooling System

• To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the

radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and radiator cap
tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).

WARNING:

Never remove radiator cap and reservoir tank cap when
engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from engine cooling system.

CAUTION:

Higher test pressure than that specified may cause radiator
damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, fill radiator with engine coolant.

• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.

ENGINE COOLANT : Draining

INFOID:0000000009190117

WARNING:

• Never change engine coolant when the engine is hot to avoid being scalded.
• Wrap a thick cloth around reservoir tank cap and carefully remove reservoir tank cap. First, turn res-

ervoir tank cap a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn reservoir tank cap all the
way.

Remove engine undercover. Refer to

INFOID:0000000009190118

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse O-rings.
• Do not put additive such as waterleak preventive, since it may cause cooling waterway clogging.
• When refilling use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality

mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to

MA-22, "Fluids and Lubricants"

Install reservoir tank if removed.

Install radiator drain plug.

CAUTION:

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.

Check that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.

Fill radiator to specified level.
• Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck

slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute
to allow air in system to escape.

Install radiator cap.

Fill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant if nec-
essary.

Install reservoir tank cap, and then start the engine.

Warm up engine until thermostat opens. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at
3,000 rpm.
• Check thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
