i just got my 350z, it has about 50 miles on it. im at school, but my apartment won't give me my parking space for another 2 weeks, so my z is at home. my brother at home and he decided he wanted to learn to drive stick on my z, which truly hurts my heart =(

he stalls a lot.

i was wondering if it can really mess the car up because he stalls and he is using my z for a beater car =(

 

Nah, shouldn't be too bad.

Most likely some damaged bearings or pistons, maybe a weak rod. Overall I don't think you're going to notice anything out of the ordinary until the engine compression gives in and implodes.

You do have warranty though, don't you ?

 

don't worry.. we all stall the car one time or another... I'm sure the mfg. thought about this when they designed the manual tranny

just don't make it a habit.....

 

i learned to drive stick on my parent's BMW about 10 years ago. stalled it as a beginner would, but the car was fine when we sold it years later. But if you brother wants to learn to drive stick. Try to get him to rent a truck. Trucks are harder to stall and more forgiving from my experience
