Failing to follow "Break-in" Schedule voids warranty?
 
I recently purchased my 2011 GTR and drove the car nice and easy until 250 miles.
Then for the first time I got to open the throttle all the way from stand still to about 70 mph on a straight road to see what the car can do.
My jaws dropped on the ground and my balls crawled up to my throat. :D

However, I came across the nissan's very picky warranty rumors on several websites.
Upon studying the owner's manual and various testimonials of other GTR owners from websites, I am paranoid.

I am concerned if nissan would void my warranty if any unexpected mechanical failure to happen because I failed to follow the following break in schedule :

Until 300 miles
* Do not depress the accelerator pedal more than halfway and avoid rapid acceleration.
*Drive with the engine speed kept at less than 3,500 RPM.

Until 1200 miles
*Avoid rapid acceleration in a low gear (1st to 3rd gears) with the accelerator pedal fully depressed. Depress the pedal slowly.



Any comments would be appreciated :o

You're worrying too much. Car will be fine, it's already been pushed and tested after it comes off the assembly line. It's built well and can take the abuse. Nissan just writes that in the manual to cover their ass and so that you don't abuse it too much... I broke mine in the "hard" way.
