As has been said, no issue with the car. When you are near redline though, this obviously means lots of things are happening with the vehicle and my simple advice is to be careful. Enjoy it, don't destroy it!....or yourself.

Take care.

 

Lol, Hondas are the one car you could probably redline in every gear forever and not worry about it......

 

let the girl do what she supposed to do, push her to the limit sometimes lol

 

I don't remember that far back but it really does seem like the G37 for some is their first NEW car.. And while I understand some of you are worried, there really is nothing to worry about. If you helps any of you sleep better and night, just know your car has already probably been redlined 2-3 times before you even bought it. Think the guy who took it down the street when it was delivered to the dealer to get gas gives a crap about a break-in period.. NO. 90% chance your car was test driven by someone else and we all know what happens during a test drive. Do you remember what you did during your test drive?


Being **** to a certain degree is acceptable and necessary but over and above that, is not. I don't really even want to discuss break-in's/oil changes anymore. There are SOOO many threads on this forum alone, not to mention the 3,498,787,954 Google pages that have to do with engines/oil etc.. So have a look at those and YOU decide what's best because EVERYONE has a different opinion on what to do and how to do it.

 

Just keep in mind folks that new car or not when the manual says "do not rev past 4k until after 1200 miles" people WILL be concerned that they might have screwed something up. Logic states that it's in the manual for a reason.

So be patient with people who ask these kinds of questions. They are totally legitimate and not everyone is an enthusiast or confident in their knowledge about what is or isn't appropriate driving during a "break in". Frankly it's good they have the wisdom to at least ask the questions

 

If anything its in the manual for liability reasons and for that reason only, nothing really to do with the mechanics. Have a look at this article. I know its mostly having to do with bikes, but an engine is an engine.

I can guess only 1/100 engines will ever have a problem from something break-in related and they still will find a reason why its not covered. Like I said I don't even want to discuss this anymore its been beaten to death for years on Driver and here.. To each his own. Furthermore, mines a lease so to hell with a break-in! LOL

 

Lol yeah leases do remove some of the constraints about break in

But my point was just that you and I know that disclaimers are in the manual for liability reasons (much of the time) but normal drivers might now, hence the concern they screwed something up. Having those guidlines in the manual also gives the manufacturer an out if they get a car in that has a blown engine (who knows the computers may actually track usage, never know).

Cheers

I should also add that driving the car within the break-in rules is probably the hardest thing I've had to do in years. It's like going on a diet, it's freaking tough. This car is crying out to be driven hard!
