Nissan GT R Transmission Suspension and Brakes

diagonally, the transmission is flat and the car's center of gravity can be lowered. One highly useful and unusual feature is the Nissan GT-R's Hill Start Assist. On an uphill gradient, which the car automatically recognizes, the system maintains brake pressure for about two seconds after the release of the brake pedal, making hill starts easy.

The parts which have been processed using the latest production equipment, are looked after and assembled one by one, by the hands of one skilled mechanic. High precision and full reliability is ensured with the latest inspection machinery.

Suspension

The Nissan GT-R has a new type of suspension offering excellent straight-line stability, even over 300 km/h (1886.4 mph), plus top-class handling and braking in all situations - from urban commutes, to snowy and slushy roads, to the racetrack. The suspension is designed around the new 'Premium Mid-ship' platformpackage, and takes advantage of the perfect load balance of all four wheels.

A set-up switch allows the driver to access three different suspension modes: R (high performance), Sports (the normal setting) and Comfort (for city driving to absorb road bumps). The set-up switch electronically changes the settings on the Bilstein DampTronic dampers, specially developed for the Nissan GT-R.

In R mode, the Bilsteins ensure flat, hard cornering for high-speed and maximum feedback. In the other two modes - Sport and Comfort - the dampers are electronically controlled to produce the best possible handling/ride balance (depending on which setting is chosen). Special sensors measure eleven vehicle elements including vehicle speed, Lateral acceleration speed, steering angle speed, demand torque, estimate torque, engine rpm, brake oil pressure, normal acceleration (front axle and rear axle), ABS anti-lock braking behavior and vehicle stop information.

Bilstein DampTronic F

Mode selectable electrical controlled shock absorber can be provide the most appropriate damping force using vehicle information for any driving road and scene for customer own driving.

Select mode of set-up switch

Selective drive mode - Indication - target mode - electronic control
R mode - R - hard sporty driving - Max damping force
Normal mode - No indication - normal driving (default) - automatic control of eleven elements
Comfort mode - COMF - city driving with priority on comfort - automatic control of eleven elements

Brakes

The Nissan GT-R has huge front and rear Brembo fully ventilated drilled steel disc brakes (ƒÓ380). They give superb pedal feel as well as immense stopping power.

The full floating rotors stabilize braking while also preventing heat distortion. The inner parts of the rotors have diamond-shaped ventilated ribs, to ease cooling, while the rotors are also cross drilled to run as cool as possible.

Brembo monoblock six-piston calipers are used in front and rear for four piston type. To generate strong braking force and prevent caliper distortion, racing-style three bolt structures are used.
