Hi all,

It's been years since I've posted so being that my car recently passed the 200,000 mile mark I felt it was time for an update!

I bought it new in Feb. 2007 (2006.5 model).

-I've driven it through snow storms (NJ winters with Blizzack tires and more recently Pirelli Sottozero3 tires-excellent performance tires mounted on stock 35th anniversary wheels). A couple of years ago I upgraded to TSW 20" wheels. (I swap wheels in the winter and summer-michelin pilot super sports-best tires ever!)

All of this to say the car still runs like new and looks new!
I haven't had any major problems (knock on wood) and it's my daily driver-I've also driven this car cross country several times.

I'm still enjoying this car!

Any suggestions on exterior upgrades? Wing....coil overs or just leave it clean and classic? I'm on the fence about a big brake kit...for a while I was running slotted stop tech and street pads.

It's fun hearing that someone has kept their car so long. I've owned my 350z since 2003, but I do not match your miles (I have 116k on my 2003 350z). I do run mine all year (and thus during the winter months).

Thanks for posting the pics. Your car and its wheels look great.

I,ve reached 145000 with my 2003 it,s taken 13 years.Am driving it more than ever after selling off the motorcycles.I,ve been tempted lately by all the new car advertising to replace the Z with maybe a boxster or mini cooper ,after many test drives the Z is so familiar I just can,t sign it off for a kbb trade in value .It,s settling to know that I could reach 200k miles no problem.Currently my maintence duties are composed of squeak and rattle fixs ,sometimes no easy task.Otherwise just routine maintenance and 1 window motor.

Congrats, bro! Same deal. Bought mine in Feb of 07 as an 06.5... I'm at 206,000. Blows people's minds when they find out my Z's age.

That's impressive. I'm about to roll up on 170k myself. Hopefully I can make it to 200k+ as well!

This makes me happy to hear as someone who's only got 110k (2005 Enthusiast) and always on the fence as to how long I should keep her. Posts like this and seeing guys from the West Coast post pix of fully restored 240Z, 280Z and 300Z models on Twitter and IG give me confidence that mine will hopefully outlast me.

Damn, I just rolled over 66,000. After OP's mileage, I am looking forward to many more years of driving my 2003.

Dayum my 03 with 157,000 all by me is just a pup lol. Original tranny AND clutch though - how many can say that? She hasn't gotten all that many miles for the last three years though - summers are for the Z32 TT.

I don’t think my motor will make it to 200k. I’m shy of 160 now and have a feeling it will pop soon
