Thats what I've spent ($261) on maintenance for the Zzzzzz in 26 months & 21000 miles. I go by mileage and not months. And I'm not **** about mileage; I average oil changes every 4000 miles intead of 3000.

Still, though, I'm impressed with how inexpensive the Zzzz is to maintain (so far).

By the way tires still have 5000-10000 miles on them.

 

Good to know. Thanks for posting a positive post as oppsed to one putting down the Z.

 

are those the original tyres?

 

Looks like you might need brake pads in a while.

 

"Yes" on origional tires.

 

wow you've been really blessed.

seems like you'r using your 350z like mine - approximately 1000Km's per month.

few problems - but seem to disappear after some time

had my tyres alignment checked twice already - tyre people said to expect about 30 000km's. my driving style is not really aggressive - although fast at times.

thanx

regards

 

Man, good for you but you need to drive it harder! I got 9,000 out of my fronts before feathering killed them and am at 14,500 on the rears and they are beyond toast. My tread depth gauge doesn't even register on them. The wear bars are just a shadow now. Haven't had any real issues either, just the feathering and no apparent return after the alignment.

 

hi guys, new here and my post #1. seems like this is the best forum of Z'ers.
anyways, "low maintenance" thats why i love the Z, i just traded in my 01 Audi A4 for my new 350. i spent close to $800 in 5 months and was going to do a timing belt change that would of been around $1200 all in the span of 6 months ownership. i knew the 350z was a good deal since i had a 91 300zx. i love my Z. (obsessed?)

 

It's low because all the parts haven't started wearing out yet. I'd say any sports car costing $1000 per tire change isn't too cheap. Plus the car is still pretty damn new.

 

Mine 2003 is 30,000 miles (in 24 months).
- $200 or less on maintenance (oil changes, car wash etc..)
- $300 plus to lower the car (eibach)
- $ 0 on all repairs (front tire twice + alignment, passenger window, replace fuel dampener because of noise, car rentals )
- $$$$$$ on fuel premium (average 21 mpg)

My average oil change is every 5000 miles. I spend $32 every week at the gas pump.
Other than front tire feathering in the future , I think this car will have 0 problem (so far 30k).
I will rate the services at the victory nissan in Gaithersburg excellent (*****)

 

Nissan builds great cars. My other car is a (Nissan) Infiniti Q45 with 105,000 miles. I've spent little money on it over the last 10 years.
