Congrats! And when do we get pictures?! :yum:

I went in looking at the 40th anny version, and even test drove it first. But I fell for the Nismo. The rimms on the 40th really make it stand out, tho.

Manual says 1200 miles below 4k rpms. oil change @ 500 as mentioned (i did mine at 600). There are some great debates in other threads in the forums. Some say the engines are redlined during the factory test drive, so no break-in is needed. Others say follow the manual, still others are in the middle. There's evidence that points all ways.

Take your time learning to drive her. Respect her. She'll return the favor.

Congratulation and welcome! As Jon at Altered said previously, stop on over with the new Z on Saturday morning in Fairfax for coffee and meet up. We are all headed over to the Dogfish Head Ale House for burgers and beers at lunch time after.

Strangler 03-23-2010 10:00 PM

Gratz on your new car!

Did the manual say change oil at 500 miles? That seems so early. A full synthetic oil change would be around $60 or so.

Zaggeron 03-23-2010 10:06 PM

I think the earliest the manual says is under schedule A -- 3750 or something. A lot of people do early oil changes though. I'll probably do my first at the end of this month with about 1200 -- fresh oil for the post break-in period :)

Congrats on the 40th Anniversary Z -- and welcome to the discussion.

The Sat coffee group are a great bunch of folks - you should swing by if you are in the area and available.

OBTW, beter post some pics quickly or you'll be hounded ruthlessly until you do......:icon17:

Congrats again on the new Z!
