370z After some breaking yo!
 

I was wondering,
Does it harm a car, after you break it in. To drive it at high rpm?
They say its built for it, but everytime i hit like 5k in my other Z i always thought i should shift.... =[
Im just a terrible driver.

<point though....
Can i drive and always shift at 6/7k rpm? (when im having fun, not 24/7, or just driving consistenly at this RPM, just speeding up quick.)

Speaking of "high" are you "high" right now sir? This question makes no sense the way it is written.

if you keep your car perfectly serviced and the engine's warm then it's fine.

you can go high revs after breaking it in but I do advise only doing it when the engine is hot

your gas mileage must stink if you're always shifting at 7k hehe. i must admit, it is plenty fun hearing the z scream!

No problem if you use a good engine oil,the only worry is the A/C compressor that may wear faster..so switching off your maybe a good option.

lol at the title.

haha

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

best first post ever?

As some mentioned, Do not just start your car and start shifting at 6-7K. Drive for a while, bring the engine temp up, take outside weather into consideration, keep the car well maintained, watch the posted speed limit etc and if everything looks good, I don't see why you can't shift high.:driving:

:facepalm:

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen lol

Warning!! this thread maybe Flammable! .....

if that was at 999 miles yes. if at 1001 miles absolutely not. 1000 is kinda gray..

but then someone said 1199 was the break-in's last mile...

Oh sweet jesus :facepalm::facepalm:

Pretty sure that's what the manual says.

you do realise that you will be putting extra stress on components, don't you?
Do you want your car to last? Then don't drive at high rpms often, btw...you sound like a moron, too many stupid questions are asked by people on this forum. i mean c'mon common sense would answer that OP question wouldn't it?

Leave him out this! :roflpuke2:

I say just go to redline now and bang limiter all day long. You're not allowed to use even numbered gears during break in.

Don't use the clutch during break in. It will help the parts mesh together better.

:iagree: :roflpuke2:

shift once you hit the curb...

It's a lot easier to communicate when people use English.

ps I like to redline in reverse to warm up the engine. Is this a bad idea?

lol, love it, not to flame and welcome to the forum but you're asking if it's ok to take your car to redline.

You didn't know? He does that to us all.....he's like our Big Brother.....only cooler! :icon17:
