New 370z questions and help
 
So I got my z on Friday and it had 140 miles on it yesterday. I dumped the clutch twice at about 2-3 k rpm like an idiot. I haven't really gunned it but I'm worried about doing such childish things without letting the engine or clutch break in. Do you think anything might go wrong or is their nothing to worry about thanks. And yes I'm really worried I want to baby it!

Sorry, but after I read your post, the Highlight is what I can only get from you. :icon18: jkjk

No offense, welcome to the forum. But, seriously, I wouldn't suggest you do it, I don't know is there any damage, and I wonder anyone would know practically since no one would do that.

:driving:

i just wanna know i got a little wheel spin and everything felt fine, it wasnt too bad i just wanna know if its ok thanks! and no i wont be doing it for at least another 1000k miles

Expect the replace the clutch prematurely. Breaking in the engine otherwise is based on opinion. Some think you should drive it like you stole it, others baby it.

If group 1 is correct, you won't have any problems.

If group 2 is correct, expect your engine to burn oil

I'm following the owners manual and keeping it under 4K RPM for the first 1200 miles. I'm going with the assumption the engineers at Nissan know what they are doing. I only have 300 miles on the car and the short shifting is a drag. I can't wait to let her rev. I've never even heard the exhaust angry!

You might get disappointed, cos the exhaust on 370z never get angry. :icon14:

That's to bad. I'll be looking for an aftermarket exhaust. I was listening to the youtube clips the other night. I want a system that sounds mean when hard on the throttle but no noise or drone at cruise.

im from LaCanada in Socal not Canada. Also i was just being an idiot, i plan to drive it with respect to the owners manual from now on. Do you guys think my idiotness may have cost me or its not a big deal at all just a minor thing i shouldnt do again. Thanks

Nick911sc 03-05-2012 06:36 PM

Don't do it again. In the grand scheme of things you probably took some miles off the clutch but if you baby it from now on you should be ok.
