LOL! Well, I made sure I wasn't going end up broke after buying her!

I agree that the modding can get costly, but I'm down with it! Gotta have a separate budget just for that!

Thanks guys! That's what I heard, too, from the dealership. But I heard some different things from car enthusiasts online, so I wanted to hear your thoughts! I'll take it easy on her, but it's hard to resist revving it up!!!

chefsung · 06-13-2012, 01:43 PM

i love white too!

You can still hit 100mph without going over 5500Oil changer right after that so i could clean out the shavings and yuk from the factory. meachanic friend tell me that you have to open her up a bit in order to get those gear shavings off.... just dont redline her until you get your first oil change!!! I guess now its time to save some more money to.mod her.... damn z owners cant leave good enough alone!!! Lol

Thanks for the input! What do you mean by "shavings"? Do you know of any threads that talk about it? I'm keeping it under 4000 rpm at the moment; just filled my first tank of gas yesterday! It's hard to resist revvingi t up!! What type of gas do you put in? I'm using 91 octane. First oil change is scheduled in September.... sounds like a long time! LOL

Viera · 06-13-2012, 01:48 PM

Lmao, all these guys....

But anyways, welcome and congrats on getting a Z! White is sho pwetty.. Keep her under 4k rpms until around 1200 miles. Give or take. Do not turn VDC off until you get used to the power

Drive safely~

This is the first time I'm hearing about shavings. What is that? What is a magnetic oil plug or sleeve? Do you know any good threads that talk about this? Sorry for being such a noob! I'm learning! LOL

But around 1000 miles I installed my exhaust and am fully convinced that it is impossible not to open it up when it is a little louder and sounds so clean... And mean for that matter. So yeah definitely wait till you get that exhaust and fall in love with the sound all over again. Again congrats on the dream car purchase, you won't regret it, this car has been amazing on all levels

I'm already sold on the exhaust! Someday..... someday. Will update if I get it done! LOL

chknhawk · 06-13-2012, 02:38 PM

No prob. I dont think any of us on here are experts.... we all know what we know. So the gears in the motor wear down over time and create metal deposits in the oil. I have been reading in other forums about it. I dont remember if i saw it here or not. Basically the magnets collect the metal deposits and keep them from circulating in the oil and through the engine. A lot of cars now come with magnetic plug bolt standard. The oil filter sleeve helps this as well and keeps deposits in the filter so when the filter is changed and oil is changed the metal deposits are removed. Maybe shavings was a harsh word to use. Lol.
