Talking Got my new Z...

Hey, what's up guys? I just got my new Z yesterday. I got a white touring model, and I love it. I'm finally glad to join the 350Z club. I was wondering if I can get a few tips on breaking it in. I kinda overdid it last night since I haven't driven a manual in years. I find myself always having to take to long to get back into driving when I have to stop for someone. I also find that the car wants to lurch ahead sometimes when I shift. Nothing that I can't work on. My timing on using the clutch and accelerator is probably off a little. I know it's a matter of practice, but if anyone has any extra tips, I'd love to hear it. Thanks. L8r.

Congrats! I think I read it in the manual somewhere that when breaking your Z in, do not go over 4500 rpm for about 1500 miles.

Thanks for welcoming me guys. I'm really happy with my decision of car. I did take my baby out for a spin today to practice. I got the shifting down a little bit better. I do have to work on my downshifting though. No worries though, as long as I'm progressing, I'm pretty happy. Again thanks for the compliments everybody, and I will be on this message board often. So, I'll catch you guys later.

Don't have pics yet. But will take them very soon and post them. Too many things going on during the day that leaves hardly any time for myself. Just found out I had a few scratches on the car from the dealer and needs to be repainted in those areas. Car needs to be buffed out since there are swirls everywhere. Also the headlamps look like they went through some bristles. Scratched up here and there. I'm hoping the dealer will fix that. As far as mods go, I'm thinkin' of putting either a GT spoiler or the Strosek spoiler first. Then I might go ahead and put a CAI on it. But will hold off on mods for a little bit, I just got the car so I'm going to take my time with it. If you got rims, put them on. Why not? And supercharger seems cool, but I've heard that with a turbo, you are not limited to future modding. I think your limited somewhat with the SC. But I'm a little undecided, too, as to whether I want top end power or low end power. Very hard decision, but I would lean towards the the turbo more.
