agree with the above posts. if you want to drive the 35 a lot and on freeways then you may as well call past the local police station on your way out and cut up your licence in advance to save the officer the hassle... they really are built for stupid speed and get there in a hurry.

also, agree with martin, i've seen the nissan dealer guys on track, and the journos too at the private press track release and they were not punting very hard at all. so it's no surprise they didn't crack any decent temps. but anyone having a decent go even on the street will get both box and engine over 110 in a hurry, and on the track the box will hit 130 after 3 or 4 good laps.

they are such a capable car. just crazy fast. I've driven some pretty hot euros and other supercars lately and the GTR makes them all feel a bit lacking in torque and acceleration and grip too. such a sweet car. they are the car bargain of the century!

Geez - we were told not to worry about "running it in". I mean the damn things are run in on an engine dyno and then track tested before they are shipped so where's the logic in putting around for 2,000kms before giving it some (I've never been a fan of doing that even with rebuilt RB engines either. I think the logic is flawed myself).

My car hasn't done many km's yet (only 500odd as well) but a number of those I have done have been angry! :(

It's booked in for the 1st service for next Thursday (as I'm off to Tassie in it next Friday) so I better get some km's on it between now and then (although they didn't seem too worried if I hadn't done 2,000kms by then).

500 k's already...and only took delivery yesterday....I refuse to leave the cockpit.... :(

:P And with all those hidden speed cameras...congrats...that is commitment.

I can top it! 1000kms in 1 day. :P although admittedly half of that was in NSW and only half in VIC.

I took it for a 1 hour drive at 1 am the other night just so as to spend quality time with it (north of Brisbane where I had the road to myself). Manual mode and restricting to 4k rpm would be enough to give my old man a coronary.
