NISSAN 2013 GT R - Service & Maintenance Guide - Manual (Page 21)

Brakes
* Check for the heat deterioration of the brakes and parts
around the brakes.
* It is recommended that you remove air from the brake
system after any of the following:
● When engaging in high performance driving for the first
time after purchasing a new vehicle.
● After replacing the brake fluid.
● When engaging in high performance driving for a sus-
tained period of time. It is recommended that bleeding
the brake be performed when the brake calipers are
hot (about 212°F (100°C)).
Brake Pad:
* NISSAN recommends adding an additional cross spring
to the front calipers before engaging in performance driv-
ing. The additional spring reduces brake pad movement
resulting from cornering forces and will reduce the stroke
of the brake pedal. Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer to purchase the spring and arrange installation. If a
cross spring is added, a clattering or squeaking sound
may be heard on rare occasions.
Brake Pad Break-in Procedure:
NISSAN recommends that a special brake pad break in
procedure be performed before engaging in performance
driving. Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for de-
tails.

FORMANCE DRIVING
