Was it due to excessive oil consumption, or something more serious like spun rod bearings?
I have always had Japanese cars (most of them high performance/turbocharged) and never thought of 100k miles as being "a lot of miles"... but everybody on here acts like a 350z with 100k miles is a miracle and must be on it's last leg.
its not rare at all for the 350 to go well beyond 100k. Ive had mine for two and a half years and watched the milage threads, and the 100k threads. Its just now that people are seeming to push it. A few have, like Mike, but the large sample base is more interesting. At least thats why I read threads like this is to see what to expect. If I had a civic, I would know what to expect for the most part.

I just hit 117,000 on mines. Everything is still stock. Clutch pedal seems still stiff for some reason compared to my friends Z. Oh well I hope it goes to 200,000!!

I have that same problem with the spark plugs at 76k but I just got my car all tuned up fresh breaks and tires so I plan to keep it at least another 20k.

With that much mileage, there's a lot of other stuff you should have changed by now: trans and diff fluids, brake fluid, coolant, belts, PS fluid, spark plugs.
