Most common problems:

Oil leaks

2011 Nissan GT-Rs are known to sometimes develop oil leaks due to issues with seals and gaskets, particularly around the valve covers and oil pan.

Turbocharger failure

The GT-R's twin-turbocharged engine can experience turbocharger failures or inefficiencies, which can affect performance.

Timing chain issues

Some GT-Rs have reported problems with the timing chain, such as stretching or premature wear, which can lead to engine performance issues or damage.

Ignition coil problems

Faulty ignition coils can lead to misfires, rough idling, and a decrease in engine performance.

Fuel injector malfunction

Problems with fuel injectors can cause poor fuel delivery, leading to rough running, decreased fuel efficiency, and potential engine damage.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve issues

The EGR valve can become clogged or malfunction, resulting in reduced engine performance and increased emissions.

Cooling system problems

Radiator and cooling system issues, such as leaks or faulty thermostats, can lead to engine overheating.

Transmission issues

Although not directly part of the engine, the GT-R's dual-clutch transmission can sometimes exhibit problems that affect overall drivability, such as jerky shifts or failure to engage gears properly.
