Why I support Nissan's break in period period

Infidel

I read somewhere that the GTR motors are run wide open for an extended period of time before install, does anyone have a link that supports this?

ZMan8

I hear a similar thing for all corvette engines.

GTR motors are put to test before it's installed to make it's at it best and no failures. Which means they run it hard from 0 miles. You can watch Life of GTR on youtube. They explain why they run it hard at zero miles. what you hear isn't 4K RPMS on that GTR, your hear the rev limiter bouncing on freshly built off the factory floor/line GTR. Main reason why they beat on it? So you can drive it like it should when you get it.

Break in periods, oh please.

Drove my 13 WRX hard from 6 miles, as I already know the mechanic who tested this car already beat on it. My Z, same thing.

It's in the sales brochure "Once assembled , the engine spends an hour in bench testing and break-in, including running at redline for a rigorous 10 minutes straight making it ready to give full performance when the GT-R is delivered to it's owner".

I believe in hard break-ins for all my vehicles once they are up to operating temp.

$.02 YMMV
