Re: What speed not to exceed during break-in.
says 60, but thats not always safe.. I wouldnt do over 75. I dont think the wheel bearings need *that* long of a breakin. But I wouldnt heat them up much right off the lot. Same with the tranny.. Try not to build up too much heat.
I've heard of failing wheelbearings on 5th gen maximas, so its not unheard of.

Re: What speed not to exceed during break-in.
not true.. Toyota & Honda yes, Nissan no...
BTW, you make the most HP at 5K. Another difference is that the VQ is a 200K+ motor, the others are generally not.

Re: What speed not to exceed during break-in.
a tech at a dealership from Infiniti manufacturing said they do not break in the engine before or after they install it in the car. They just make sure it works, put it together and ship it out.

Re: What speed not to exceed during break-in.
My cents. I agree that it is my belief that you should not exceed 100 MPH during break in, prolonged RPM rate i.e. Long Fwy usage, is probably not good on motors that support Variable timing, or so that I have heard. Can someone educate me on the VQ, is it variable timing controlled?
