The Forwarder told me that the vessel will be here by this Sat. and hopefully get it by next Mon. or Tue. before I head back to TW on Thu. Meanwhile, share some pics of my finished garage.

Well, it's been a long time since I drive a MT and I just feel that the clutch is a bit hard I guess. This will be my first impression.

Pls take a look at the 2 pics I've taken. Do you see any problem with them? The front and rear suspension. Thanks.

On the other hand, since it is a brand new car, what is the max. speed and RPM recommended before the 1000 miles???

The pics of the suspension looks fine, though I'm a bit surprised to see the paint on the springs chipped away. Do you have complaints about the ride?

As far as break-in, vary RPMs and don't lug the engine are the most important things in my mind. I don't really adhere to RPM and mph limits.

If everything looks fine, this means that the spacers are no longer there and is normal that the REAR suspensions look like that, right? I don't think that the paint on the springs are chipped away, maybe coz is dirty now, that's all.

Well, in regards to the ride, the only thing is that I feel is that the clutch is a bit too hard IMO.

So is okay if I hit the 120~140mph as long as I don't lug the engine? I thought that I read in someones post here that shouldn't exceed certain mph or RPM...

The manual is the manual. I always adhered to the "break it in like you normally would drive it". I used that motto for my 05 STi, 06 R6 and other vehicles...never any issue. Unless the VQ is finicky.

You'll get use to the clutch. It's actually quite light compared to earlier model Zs.

Lugging would be trying to accelerate in a high gear at a low RPM. At those speeds, you don't have to worry about lugging the engine.

If you want to stick to the break-in recommendations, all the guidelines are listed in the manual.

Kenny, congrats on your Nismo Z! hey just wondering...do you see any 350z's in Paraguay at all? ..cause as far as I know, there just a hand full of 350z's in Chile/Argentina and mostly soccer players drive it since it's so expensive down there.

Thanks Medic!!! Well, I have only seen 2~3 350Z(not NISMO) around here in Paraguay so far and one of them belongs to a Paraguayan chicks/model that lives in CHILE and with CHILEAN license plate. According to my friend, this chick/model was telling in the radio station that her CHILEAN boyfriend bought it for her and costed him over US$100k...LOL

Anyways, not so many around here...at least I haven't seen many yet...but for sure that my NISMO is the only and unique one here in Paraguay.
