370z Engine Durabilty (vs 350z)
My family has close family friend who is a mechanic. He and I were talking about 350z's (the car I wanted to get), and he said he sees a ton of them around 70k miles that need new engines.
Does this hold true for 370z's as well?

It's only the same as any car, any brand, if it's not properly serviced and isn't feed the proper fluids it won't be as reliable. People cut costs, and then sell because the cost cutting has reaped them mechanical problems.
Mr Sparco has given you one link, there is also another link too that is relevant. Best way to figure it out for yourself is have a good read of the forum.

(I've had my 350 from brand new, 9 years, and been heavily involved with the community for a long time, not just 350's, all Zeds, seen most of the failings with all models).
Most people buy Jap cars for their general reliability, and cheaper servicing (ok, some of them actually look and go rather well). Bang for buck, they're a good car.
We've all been new once upon a time. Lots to learn and soak up.

That's probably quite a bold statement given the 370 has only been around 4 years +, and although there are a few niggles making themselves known, same as there was with the 350's earlier on, it takes a bit of time before all faults are known.
