Test drove it from the dealership from mile 20-26, and floored it a lot then...hopefully that didn't do anything...or anyone who drove it before the 20 mile mark.

Sounds like you adhered to the Nissan recommendations to the 'T'.....NOT.

What Nissan recommends is simply in place so somebody doesn't A) smoke the **** out of a non-broken-in organic clutch in the first 500 miles or B) seize a camshaft or other engine component that actually DOES need a short break-in.

CYA for Nissan. That's all it is.
