Have fun and enjoy the new car! Congrats!

This. Stay off the freeway for half the time.

It's already 700 miles. I don't know how fanatical about your car you need to be to justify adding on to that number.

Well I did some route changes and to stay off the freeway it will cut off 100 miles on my trip but will add about 2 hours ... Small price to pay I think so ill do it... Thanks again everyone on this thread, I am new to the forums .. never even tried a forum before now , you guys are AWESOME!!!

Why not just follow what Nissan says (they know a thing or two about the Z, I think

)? Straight from the Owner's Manual:

Quote:

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and economy
of your new vehicle.

Failure to follow these recommendations
may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.

. Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.

Of course, I bet every Z that's ever been test-driven at a dealer has had the above recommendations violated...

Isn't it in their best interest to give us information that would make our cars last less time so we buy another one?

They have the technology to create and sell lightbulbs that last literally forever. But they don't...hmmmm

You should consider the lesson Willy Wonka tried to teach us with his Everlasting Gobstopper. It is simply not a sustainable business model.

The German has been doing that for years.... no? Go and buy a VW, you'll know what I mean.
