Default My reaction after 1200 Miles on my 350Z Enthu.

SO my break in went like this, for 250 miles, under 4K. 250 + under long driving, and highway conditions, w/out traffic, redline a few times w/full acceleration and then keep it low. Now at 1200 Miles, full on spirited driving with redlines and keeping it high RPMs, some down shifting etc.

1: No visor/seatbelt rattle. Actually no rattles at all.
2: Def. no engine shutdown of any kind, it seems like the car is freeing up, less tight, gains speed quicker etc. This car DEF. likes to be driven.
3: Tranny whine not a big issue, only in lower gears, and not too loud. Seems to be going away on its own. Kinda like it, makes it sound like V12 Exotic.
4: Headlight condensation, which was around for maybe 1 Week, GONE. On it's own.
5: Only issue right now, ash tray broke. LAME. Getting Nissan to do oil change tomorrow as I'm getting GPS locator installed at the same time. Should I switch over to Synth? Do I bring my own Moblie 1, can I tell them to buy it for me??? Any other things I should have Nissan do? Thanks guys, enjoy the ride.

p.s. DAMN people will NOT stop breaking their necks to stare at my car, they always are checking out the Z symbol on the front to try and figure out what the car is. Getting crazy props from Exotics all over L.A. Can't imagine what it would be like in the sticks or smaller city!

SHIFT: Get the hell out my way

I would switch to Mobil 1 or whatever synthetic you prefer, and I would take it, you can probably find it cheaper and dealerships don't always have it on hand.
