The drive-train in the R35 Nissan GTR is one of the most advanced produced by any manufacturer. Being able to regularly maintain and service this incredible machine is vital. Litchfield have more experience with the GTR then any independent European specialist having imported the very first car back in January 2008. Our investment in the required tools and diagnostic equipment means we are able to look after the GTR to these high standards whilst maintaining the factory warranty.

During servicing the Nissan GTR we only use genuine Nissan parts and oil that is recommended or exceeds the Manufacturers standards. For example, the GTR's VR38 engine with its plasma-sprayed bores has been developed to run on Mobil 1 (0W-40) fully synthetic high performance engine oil. As such Litchfield carry this oil specifically for GTR servicing.

Under EU Block Exemption rules, using Nissans parts and investing in the correct diagnostic equipment means that GTR owners can choose to use an independent specialist such as ourselves without affecting their UK warranty.

In the USA and Japan service intervals for the Nissan GTR are set at every 6,000 miles or 6months. Europe are also following a 6,000mile service interval with the main optimisation services every 12months or 12,000miles. The enhanced 2011 GTR follows a different service schedule which is every 12 months or 9,000 miles.

For those doing track days, we can tailor your service to include any extras you may need such as additional transmission fluid changes or a laser alignment and optimisation. Give us a call to discuss your next pre or post track day service.

GT-R Performance Optimisation Inspections

In addition to the regular maintenance recommended by NISSAN, the GT-R requires the following inspections;

Transmission Clutch settings

The design of the GTR's clutch and transmission requires inspection and adjustment of the clutch and shift forks at the recommended intervals. Depending on driving conditions, more frequent adjustments may be necessary to help maximize vehicle performance. Some JDM owners have reported poor shift and transmission performance at low vehicle speeds. This alignment procedure will help improve this.

Wheel Alignment

After what Nissan terms as the suspension components "break-in", the GTR's wheel alignment needs to be measured and adjusted. We can offer a full adjustment using the latest laser alignment equipment.

Engine settings (balancing of air flow for left and right banks)

Engine settings (balancing of air flow for left and right banks) Each cylinder bank on the GTR engine operates independently due to the vehicle's twin turbocharger design. As such each side of the engine must operate at the same level of performance. The power output of each bank must be checked and adjusted as necessary. Our diagnostic equipment allows us to perform this task.

These Optimisation inspections are required at the following intervals: 1,000 miles, 12 months, 24 months and 36 months. These are in addition to the normal servicing procedure required by the Nissan GTR.

Litchfield Imports have all the appropriate diagnostic tools to help look after this superb performance car.
