See, the problem with that logic is the fact that there's no way to tell if it would have been better had you done it differently. That's why I defer to the guys who make the cars. Also, the break in isn't just for the motor.

I did my break in in Opposite Way.. I went over 5k but not 7krpm.. Did 80-100miles/day..
I think they do same way with GT-R;s

I was careful with mine until 1200 miles. Didn't floor it, do burnouts, or hold a steady throttle setting. At 1200 miles I changed to a high quality filter and synthetic oil. I'm not sure I needed to do that but it made me feel better. It wasn't recommended in the manual but I come from 20 years of motorcycle racing so that's what I'm familiar with. The oil I drained out was really clean with no particles visible to the eye.

Luckily, I bought my Z 1000 miles from home, so the initial break in period was mostly over by the time I got the car home. It really sucked not having cruise control for the drive back though.

Agreed

WORD to the max! But my friend read on the web that...... :rofl2:

i like to break in my car nice and easy. gives me time to familiarize myself to the new car.

Meh.

perhaps this is why folks crash and i dont. lol

Yeah that makes sense. lol

i was relatively easy on mine the first 1200, except on the ride home.... shifting from fifth to sixth on the freeway i tapped the gate in fourth. pretty much bounced off the rev limiter with 25 miles on the clock. i worried for days, until i realized whats done is done.

id still rather put the original 1200 on rather then you fellas who bought a car with the miles already on it.

OP. Thanks for this post. Good lunch time reading. I believe in the practice. Did it when I got mine.

When we replace an engine under warranty Honda has us run some heat cycles on it and give it back, done, go beat it.
