did something bad....

[blueshirts0819]

Couldn't resist but I floored the car for about 5 sec when there is only 300miles on the odometer. So what is my consequence now? will the car have future mechanical problems since I didn't wait past 1200miles to do this?

[Kendahl]

It shouldn't cause any future problems. Just don't make a habit of it.

[Kenrik]

Your engine will now blow up...

Go shoot yourself

You should be fine, in fact you should floor it during the first 20 miles if you agree with the below articly! http://www.motortrend.com/feat...ance/

Welcome to the forum.

I wouldn't make a habit of it even after 1200 miles. I doubt your car is going to turn into a pumpkin or anything.

Oh, pics are nice. Mustang pics if you have any - (for several members from Canada...)

The main issue for break-in is not staying at a constant RPM on the highway. You need to vary the speed, and try to keep it under 5k RPMs. Unless your car was strait from the factory, others most likely have gunned it too. You should be fine, just don't do it at every stoplight until after the first oil change at least!

[blueshirts0819]

thanks everyone for your reply...oh yeah...here is some pics of my new ride...enjoy.

I'd be more than happy to break it in for you .

Gadamn... they really made the 4 door a sexy beast... mmm mm I thinks me has a new dream car when I outgrow my coupe

Of course... that Jaguar XF is calling my name too... but damn I do love Infiniti.

[SVTCOBRA]

Black G!!!

[zozoka1212]

Nice favorite color on my favorite car. Love it.

What's that infiniti badge on the left side of the trunk?

I've pretty well hammered both my G's since day 1 to be brutally honest



Gorgeous car!

[blueshirts0819]

that was the dealership badge they put on. I took it off on the car already since is just a sticker badge. I believe if you want me to advertise your dealership with badge, sticker, license plate frame, you should pay me.

[Beezer]

Beautiful car. Your pics have further confirmed my need for a spoiler.

[gwoods]

I usually try to find top speed on the test drive.

Drive the car hard from day one it will be fast. Baby it during the week it will be slower. Everything adjusts to your driving habits.

You didn't hurt anything... I would recommend a dealership oil change to Mobil 1 at 1000 miles.

[zozoka1212]

I do that to since day 1. Actually I did more in the first 10k then after. I am pretty sure it is not the best idea but I never had a problem with my cars. I do it to all of my car even my wife's car too. Whenever she lets me in her car. She doesn't like me to drive her car because she knows I beat the car.

G-Whizz, G-woods, and Zozoka1212:

I am totally in agreement with your all about driving hard. The G-35 was designed for punishment. I have found the G-35 coupe to be a slightly troublesome car whe driven slowly and gently. Shifting in slow and regular settings seems to make the synchronizer very confused or quirky.

Driving a car hard is the best thing you can do for it. But remember, the day you stop driving it hard, will be the day all the problems it has will sudeenly erupt. I have a second manual car that sees less and less of the road these days, eventhough I have been flogging this car to its over 210K mileage. Since buying my G-35 coupe, the little car seems to be giving me one little headache after another. So, I ensure the days I drive it, I literally make the car scream.

A car that has been driven hard form first day, must continue to be driven hard for the rest of its life, else, it will fall apart much sooner than you think. A car that has been drivne gently ffrom the beginning, must continue to be driven gently, else it will fall apart quickly. What you do at the beginning of the cars life, literally stays much the same over the cars life.

In may case, I have been flogging all my cars from day one, and so the cost to me is the extra gas i use for flogging them. So, I worry quite a bit when both cars sit for a while or when i start driving them gently. My little car is testament to this, and so i worry about driving my g-35 coupe gently.
