Nissan GT-R Servicing – ACspeedtech

Nissan GTR Servicing

As the Nissan GT-R gets a little older the servicing requirements change a slightly. The menu pricing system used by Nissan and adopted by other tuning companies in the UK requires a more experienced eye to ensure that your Nissan GT-R stays in great condition and continues perform in line with your expectations.

ACspeedtech have a wealth and knowledge and the correct equipment to look after your Nissan GT-R. Our in-house expertise dates back to the launch of the GT-R where some of our current employees where involved with Nissan Europe and the maintenance of Nissan’s fleet of GT-R’s.

We use genuine Nissan parts supplied by official supply chains when servicing your Nissan GT-R.

Officially Nissan stipulate that earlier Nissan GT-R’s should be serviced every 6,000 miles or every 6 months. From 2011 onwards that interval changed to every 9,000 miles or 12 months. ACspeedtech are happy to maintain your Nissan GT-R following the manufacturer recommended schedule or we can also recommend our own service schedule that follows minor and major service every 6 months. Our extensive experience has shown that vehicles serviced more regularly develop less faults in the long term.

Both service schedules can be viewed here:

Annual Optimisation

During the warranty period of the GT-R, Nissan provided for what was then referred to as an optimisation. This was free of charge for the first 3 years of ownership. Provided that the optimisation was carried out at an NHPC/NISMO Centre.

The optimisation was and still is a critical part of your GT-R’s period maintenance. Although no parts are changed during this process all adjustments that are made are a vital part of keeping your GT-R running efficiently which retaining optimal performance.

Failure to have the optimisation carried annually can result in abnormal tyre wear, poor fuel economy and abnormal gearbox performance and functionality.

Transmission Clutch Settings

The transmission of the GT-R is quite an influential component. Therefore, it is important that the transmission is electronically adjusted regularly. Within reason, we can adjust touchpoints to tailor the drive.

Please note: on some higher mileage or GT-R’s with aftermarket clutch systems we are unable to improve transmission feel without re-mapping or replacing components.

Wheel Alignment

Outside of the Nissan covered 3 year optimisation period wheel alignment is an often-overlooked aspect of road car performance. The GT-R is very sensitive to geometry change and adjustment. We can tune the GT-R’s suspension to cater for your needs within the confines of the stock components adjustability.

We have the latest Snap On/John Bean optical wheel alignment equipment. This is periodically calibrated by the manufacturer so we can ensure that our customers receive the highest possible levels of accuracy.

We only use the latest optical wheel alignment equipment that is periodically calibrated by the manufacturer so we can ensure that GT-R owners receive the highest possible levels of accuracy.

For owners that require a little more or use their GT-R on the track we can also offer solutions from the KW & Super Pro range of suspension components to really take your GT-R to the new level.

Engine Idle Volume Calibration

The Nissan GT-R VR38DETT engine has two banks of cylinders that operation relatively independently. During the optimisation we are able check the parameters of each bank and calibrate them accordingly.
