I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but with the "black box" tracking more and more of what we do every couple years, don't be surprised if you start seeing warranty issues denied due to not following their break in rules in the future.

This is the very thing I've wondered about and occasionally mentioned here too. Porsche will void your warranty when you do the wrong thing. Just how much information is stored in ECU? Redlines? Overheating? 160-mph junkets in blue 370z's.

These black boxes can record almost anything electronic (which as we all know is getting close to everything), but individual states have to approve the use of these in cases. Insurance companies cannot just use them against you at will, there are laws protecting the drive, now manufacturers is a different story and a tougher battle.

I dont know about Nissan so I cant say how they test there vehicles, but I do build the RX for Lexus and I can say that the tests we put it through before it comes "off-line" and ready to ship, make any reasoning for a 'break-in' period, mute

Some actual data (instead of speculation) from the different approach (break-in easy or drive it hard) would be nice. Do a compression, leak down, and oil analysis test, as well as a couple of dyno runs after a predetermined miles would show the effect of each approach.
