NISSAN 2013 GT R - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 16)

TRANSMISSION SETTINGS
The design of the clutch and transmission
requires inspection and adjustment of the clutch
and shift forks by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer at the recommended intervals. Depend-
ing on the driving conditions, more frequent
adjustments may be necessary to help maximize
vehicle performance.
CHECKING THE EXHAUST FIN-
ISHER AND REAR BUMPER
CLEARANCE
Clearance between the enlarged-diameter ex-
haust finisher and the rear bumper is realized by
using highly rigid exhaust mount rubber to
control rear muffler vibration. The clearance
between the exhaust finisher and the rear
bumper may alter as the exhaust mount rubber
changes shape due to vibration, passage of time
and high exhaust temperature during high
performance driving. Therefore, inspection of
the clearance is necessary during the GT-R
special inspection and when engaging in
performance driving.
INCREASE TIGHTENING OF THE
STRUT SUPPORT BAR ATTACH-
MENT SECTION WITH THE SHOCK
ABSORBER
During the first GT-R special inspection (after
1,000 miles), the strut support bar attachment
bracket and shock absorber (each one on the
left and right sides) must be tightened to the
specified tightening specification. The strut
support bar attachment bracket and shock
absorber (each one on the left and right sides)
must be tightened to the specified tightening
specification 300-600 miles (500-1,000 km)
after the support bar or shock absorber have
been removed or installed.
