13 Nismo enjoy!



i smell something burning when driving. I don't think I'm riding the clutch though.. this smell never occured to me before when i test drove and stuff. so i do not know if it's the clutch or just new car smell.

I also went into limp mode?? 5 minutes into driving, after stalling once or twice, temperature was at 210 but even with pedal to the metal, car accelerated like a prius.

another thing is, front hood weatherstrip seems to stick out quite alot when i close the hood. much more noticeable than the picture and weatherstrip stick out in the gap and zigzags all the way across. Is this normal?



Thanks for all the inputs throughout my wait!
I ordered my GM Nismo 3 weeks ago. Im on this forum every day as I can't wait for mine to arrive. I understand new car issues, as I have bought many, to include my current 350Z. But, I'm concerned about the "unprovoked limp mode" among other things ... Nissan engineers are smart guys making cars that should be halfway bulletproof when new... I find this a little troubling ... I still want my Nismo
