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???
FRONT

REAR
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.

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?
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.

I thought that I read in someones post here that shouldn't exceed certain mph or RPM...

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.

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.
