Default 200,000 mile club

As we reach the 10 year anniversary of the North American release date of the Z33, I look forward to seeing more and more of you in this illustrious group.

At 200k, my Z still puts a smile on my face just as often as she did at 20k.

At 100k, still young at heart, I felt like my Z's master. At 200k, and with some retrospect, I feel like my Z's brother.

Here is a pic of my "brother" right when I rolled 200k. Sorry about the size.

Holy sht! That's quite a milestone.

That must have taken quite the heart to drive 200k and still look stock

That's probably why it's still in one piece.

As far as other issues, I every so often started blowing a CEL light concerning my camshaft sensors. I had the car inspected and the cams were fine. Turns out the sensor it self was faulty, and I ended up having the sensor repaired. It was 70 bucks.

As far as other minor or major issues, I replaced the antenna as the rubber/plastic had been decimated by the sun after 8 years or so.

That's really it though.

This is great to hear! I finally retired my '95 240SX with 412K and bought an '06 Z with 22K. I hope I can get 200K out of it as well!
