I did the motoman breaking in method on my bike but I'm somewhat skeptical to do it on my car.

I listened to the owners manual on my G37.... doubt il be following it on the Z... I really dont think it makes much of a difference.. If anything drive it like you stole it off the lot..
|
Just got thru the break in period yesterday.
:driving: |
^^ already....wow.... you must drive a lot then..or just driving a lot b/c you have Z...lol
|
What does it mean to "avoid quick starts"?:confused:

I am not sure if this is such a good idea since you're not only breaking in the motor, but the transmission, brakes, and all of the other fluid pumping components the car is equipped with. Has ANYONE ever done this aside from what was seen on online articles? |
I know a guy that did it on his TL. It's been running fine for the past 2 years from what I know.
I personally won't be doing it though. I'll be following the Nissan recommendation once my Z comes in. |
Ah! Thanks.

I plan on taking it easy for 500 miles....then driving the like it was stolen. I am at about 250 right now.

The motoman break-in raises some interesting questions. It would be interesting to hear input from a nissan engineer, or any automotive engineer for that matter. It seems like it makes a lot of sense, but like somebody said, you're breaking in more than just the engine.

do what the manual says. get an oil change on the first 1000 miles. have light "right" foot. i'm at about 1517 miles into it and it's fine. i drive a lot, so i'm going to take my time with the car. around 2,000 miles into it, i'm going to drive like a swat team is on my ***.
