1200 Miles...FINALLY!!

somaddict · 04-23-2012, 10:38 AM

I have no telling how the first 400 miles or so were handled on mine. I drove it from Dayton to Atlanta in one go, with frequent bursts from 2k to 4k. and some times 4-5k, with lots of passing and taking it up to 120 a few times in 7th gear. I'm a little worried myself that I glazed the walls, or that they already were cos it was a Nissan dealer car. It was about 8 hours of driving total, and as of now I'm at 1300+ and ready to change the oil. I'm hoping they had a little fun with it and took into high RPMs a bit when the dealer guys took it out. All 400 initial miles could have been test drives and lunch runs for all I know.

My biggest concern was running it for so long in 7th gear right at 4k RPMs for most of the trip (after reading that article).

Does anyone know of a relatively simple way to figure out if the walls have been glazed?
