hmale4yu Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Am due to collect a new Mk2 2018 Nismo next week. Any tips on how to run the car in and not cause excess stress on the new engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The advice I was given was not to rag it for the first 1k. Avoid driving at a constant rev ie just going on a long motorway journey but keep a varied driving condition. I was told you don't need to change the oil at 1k but I can't see any harm. Congratulations on your Nismo and be sure to post up pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeracer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I just kept bellow 4000RPM for the first 1200 miles then returned the car to Nissan OPC for an oil and filter change. Just keep the engine between 2000 - 4000 RPM and don’t keep it at constant REVS as previously mentioned. Nissan recommend the first service at 9000Miles however for £85 I thought it was a no brained to get it done after the run in period to remove any of the metal residue/particles in the oil.

Payco Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Don’t forget to check the shipping spacers are removed. Lots of dealers DONT remove them. Enjoy your great new car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Don't forget to ask them not to wash or wax it. They'll often use a rushed overworked and underskilled guy who'll be using the same sponge to do all their cars bodywork AND wheels rubbing dirt off and into your new paint. Then buffing wax off it with a cloth that he's probably dropped a few times or just left on the floor while he's not using it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanjuke Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 just go over the car and inspect it like a CSI AGENT before you sign and take it away.Take another person with you to check it out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
