break in or burn in after 1 month rest?

if a car hasn't been used for a full month do you have to go through the burn in (break in ) period all over again???

No, you wouldn't have to worry about breakin again unless you have a valve job done or rebuilt the engine or transmission.

Plus, go easy on the brakes for a few hundred miles after getting a brake job.

A month isn't going to hurt the car. It wouldn't hurt to start it up once a week and let it warm up and drive it around the block, though. Especially if it's going to be mostly unused for much longer than a month or two.

The break in period for a G35 coupe is 1200 miles. Remember (1) No full throttle in any gear, (2) No trailer towing, and (3) Don't drive at a constant speed for long periods. Keep the RPMs under 4K.
