The GT-R is equipped with some special genuine NISSAN high performance specification parts. These parts are different from those used on conventional vehicles to allow for the high performance driving characteristics of the vehicle. The GT-R should be maintained by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.

Special skill, knowledge and equipment are necessary to properly inspect and adjust the GT-R engine, transmission, suspension and brakes to maintain performance. A GT-R certified NISSAN dealer has the GT-R certified technical staff and the special equipment to properly maintain the GT-R.

The installation/use of parts other than genuine NISSAN parts, fluids and lubricants may cause the vehicle to malfunction (i.e. cease functioning normally, damage vehicle parts) and result in the vehicle requiring non-warranty protected repairs. Many of the periodic maintenance items can be performed at all NISSAN dealers. However, make sure the specified fluids and parts are used when the maintenance is performed. Be sure to request NISSAN approved parts and fluids when maintenance if performed.
