I just recently purchased my first car and couldn't be happier getting a nismo. now that i am about to reach break-in mileage, i had a few questions:

1. i've read in other post to get the first oil change right after the 1200 mile break-in. would everyone advise me too?

2. so far i have slowly inched the rpms to 5500, just so the engine won't freak out when i finally hit 1200 miles and redline. question is, would you all recommend redlining once in awhile, being that max hp is at 7400 rpm and to keep the engine in form?

3. pulling to 5500 rpm, my shifter vibrates violently, is this normal for our Nismos, or do i have a problem? and will 7500 feel even crazier?

maybe these questions are obvious, but being the first car i purchase, im very cautious.

thanks for all your help guys. i appreciate it.
