Default I'm joing you guys

Hey guys
I'm picking up my 2012 Nismo on friday so I thought I'd join the forum. It's my first brand new car so I'm pretty stoked. I did some looking around to see about any pointers for breaking in a new vehicle, but as I suspected the veerdict is everywhere.

I had a 240 back in the day and an 06 350 before this, so I'm excited to see the difference between the two. From what I understand the difference between an 06 enthusiast Z and the one I'm getting is pretty awesome. The one thing I'm really sad to see go is my Motordyne exhaust and ART pipes. And my forgestar f14s. But heyy it happens. The car is still for sale actually.

Anyway, what I was gonna ask you exzperienced gentlemen is if you have any tips or experiences with the 12 Nismo and anything to look for, or things to do (other than drive it!!) soon after purchase.
Thanks guys
