Proper Break-in Procedures
I just baught a 2012 NISMO 370Z, and I don't want to start this new relationship off by breaking the car.
What exactly are the proper break-in procedures of this car?? I'm curious because I live about 1 minute away from the Autobahn and I don't want to mess my car up to early.... |

nissan reccomends no hard take-offs and maximum of 4000 rpm for the first 1200 miles, and no hard breaking during that time

however, do a search here and you will find miles of debate over break in and its validity. i did my 2012 recently according to reccomendations, then gradually got more agressive, instead of just flooring it and red-line driving right at 1201 miles. i also believe that the motors on all cars are not only tested but "broken in" at the factory. this could proove why a lot of owners claim to have driven extremely hard immediately and never had any problems. there are a lot more details about the inner workings of a new engine available, none to which i can accurately describe.

Welcome and congrats.
It's documented in the owners manual. If you didn't receive one with the car you can download it online. Nissan Owners | Manuals & Guides | Nissan USA

 It's pretty much the standard way so you dont have to do anything special.If you want to take it a bit further, get an oil change after the 'Break-in Period.' Last edited by neko; 03-30-2012 at 03:23 PM. |

Alonso have a 2012 NISMO and it was driven to the dealership instead of trucking in. Had 500 miles on it and I didn't follow any break in. Seems fine to me.
