Re:Eclipse GST

Nissan recommends first 500 miles, but I would go easy the first 1500 or so, and do your oil changes every 3000..

Re:Eclipse GST

thanks dude. If this car has been at a dealer for about 10 months would have they changed the oil or would it be the same oil it came with?

well i guess you gotta hate me then cause i drive one.... oh yea there is no GS-T AWD... GS-T IS FWD...GSX is AWD big difference. not here to be a *** just imfoming peeps. as for the GS-T thing yea they can be made VERY quick cars. there are all kinda mods and a gang of FREE..(yea FREE) mods you can do to make them even faster. many (with stock ic, injectors and 14b's ) have seen the mid 13 mark with NO problems. its just a matter of what you wanna do. but once you start getting that quick you have the same problem all fwd do...TRACTION!! thats where the AWD's rule from the launch.check out these places:
www.dsmtalk.com
www.dsmtuners.com

a LOT of information on there...the best thing you can do before you just start asking questions is read....the dsm boards have a big FAQ area and most of your questions can be answered there. hth

Re:Eclipse GST

I would rather go with the gsx but the gs-t not a bad car. Good torque but very unreliable.

I dont know, my buddy got rid of his gs-t because it had too many problems with it. But AWD kick *** and if its a steal go for it. Just make sure it has good warranty with it

Re:Eclipse GST

Yeah a dsm isnt the most reliable car but the horsepower to dollar is hard to beat and a stock block can handle damn near 500hp. Just be sure if you get a 96-98 or in that area you get a warranty if possible because crank walk sucks. I know as soon as i get rid of my hatch im lookin at buying a 98gsx so i can take out my dads vr4
