Sup guys,

Well I had a project RX7 car a few months back..but traded it for the 350z. My bro-in-law gave me the RX7, and bought himself a Z. Then he wanted to trade the Z with me for the RX7 back, so yea, it's all in the fam.

I know that with the RX7, you are suppose to redline the car once a day to let all of the carbon out...but would it also be the same for a Z? Or is it just because the 7 is a rotary engine and more fragile?

I would "assume" that I would have to do the same for the Z...since it would help all of the carbon get out of the engine and basically help keep it "clean" and stronger. Is it true or am I just making it up?

So yea...would it be the same for Z as it were with the RX7?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Also if ya'll would like..I could post pics up of the RX7 but it will be in 2 weeks...and most likely this thread would be dead already

 

i redline at least once a day.

but just because i cant help it

 

I don't believe it. Fun to hit redline but not necessiary on a daily basis.

 

not necessary, but worth it anyway

 

It's your car, do what you need to do, once a day or not.

 

Yep.

 

i probably redline once a month, if that....
Ive heard that its good to do it once in a while...so yea. DO IT!

 

"Blowing the carbon out" (Italian tuneup) is a myth.

bill

 

I hit redline like every 5 minutes when I am driving. where else can you shift at? for serious.

 

damn skippy

 

Yeah I have heard that your supposed to blow the cobwebs out everyonce in a while. I don't think its necessary everyday but probably doesn't hurt.

 

I don't think it's something you need to do, but it can't hurt and it is fun, so knock yourself out!

 

The owners manual recommends redlining the motor every 7 days. I think its page 14.

 

full throttle redlining or part throttle?

 

On the '07 it's every 14 days and is on page 7.

 

i've bought my car the week before christmas of 2007. have yet to redline it.

 

Reason being?

 

if it is new, the manual says don't go over 4k rpm for first 1200 miles, so your question is a little on the dumb side, kind sir. my apologies for pointing that out. don't bother telling me your opinion on break-in, I'm just pointing out that there could be a very good reason he hasn't redlined it.

 

ouch.... i redline my z once in a while, but i do it for the hell of it. Never knew it can help the car.

 

you must fill gas like every 20 minutes too huh....lol
