Car is broken-in.
 

I hit 1200 miles yesterday and did first oil change. Today I went driving after lunch and I am very pleased with the car. Coming from a 350z I know how this cars are but the 370Z is really amazing, the power delivery is awsome and when you shift up from red line it puts you in a sweet spot. I test drove a yellow base with s/p at the dealer but it wasnt broken in and i didnt beat it too bad, so i couldnt really feel the car at its peak performance. I cant wait to take this thing to a track!

oh, and my oil temp never went over 240, and today was a pretty warm day here in San Diego. That makes me happy.

:leghump:

lol.. i thought this was gonna be a different kind of thread...

broken-in as in your car got "Broken-in"...lol..

good stuff.

^I thought the same thing, thankfully it wasn't, lol.

Oooooooh now I want to buy one.

Who changed your oil, and if you did can please add some feedback? What oil did you use? Thanks.

I went to the dealership because the place were i do it myself was closed and my plan was to change the oil right when the car was broken in. They overfilled it the first time (because they're retarded), so i took it back and got it fixed. And it was also $25.01. i used conventional oil rather than synthetic for the first oil change. When I hit 3k miles i will do synthetic every 3k miles. I did this to be on the safe side since theres controversy about synthetic when breaking in... blah, blah blah... I dont consider the car broken in until you drive it like your going to after the "owner's manual" way to 3k miles. After that I will go with Mobil 1 fully synthetic.

Hope this confusing write up helps you.:tiphat:

hehe i went and got my first oil change at around 1200 miles and i went with mobil 1 0w-30. i think my car is running pretty darn smooth.

Never heard of that.....Can you provide something to back up that claim, anyone?

Nope, nothing to back that up. Thats just what I do.

Wow, another Z owner in San Diego...I get mine in 3 more weeks. I have only seen one other Z in San Diego, and its driven by DJCUETIP. looks like we are the lucky few until the economy pulls out of the recession and people rush out to buy them!

I've still got about 500 miles left to go. This is what the car wants to do every time I drive past the exit to Skyline...

HAHAHAHA! thats a nice video. Im glad you and your car have are good at communicating.:tup:

Yeah, I THINK I've seen two on the streets, one in Coronado were i live and the other one by Fashion Mall, both time it was dark and I could barely see the head/tail lights so Im not sure if they were 370z. But yeah it sucks to have one of the few 370z in San Diego, I've been followed home by 2 guys in a g37s, I got pulled over yesterday by a female cop who "was doing a routine check" at 1:30am, all she did was ask me about my car, and the first thing she said after "license and proof of insurance" was "so this is what a 370 looks like"....Im not a **** and I love to share with people who want to see it but I dont like being followed home and I dont like to get pulled over after a long day at work....

But anyways, good luck with the Z you will love it.

haha thats a great story for the 'unique stories' thread! I actually saw a yellow one last night in Pacific beach, parked in front of a liquor store off Garnet.

I sure hope I dont get pulled over though. I am sure ill get a lot of attention, seeing as how I live in Mira Mesa...

i'm from sacramento and i haven't seen one yet
