to you guys with 100k+ miles, does your car still have the power it had when you got it? Just curious. I know the vq35 will go 200k, but just want to know how much power loss, if any, there is.

 

read the comments here and in the 100K Club thread - it's pretty obvious that most people think their car pulls just as strong as when it was new.

 

just hit 68k this morning...my weekend driver has been my daily driver lately =[

 

47,000

 

I had 30K on my engine, and just received a new one (due to excess oil consumption) from Nissan. There is almost no power difference in the two, other than the new engine is more consistent and smooth. I could believe that if the engine lasts to 100K that it should be only down 10%.

 

^ 10% decrease in power is WAY too much. I'm sure it would be down a little, but surely not 10%. In fact, it might not even be noticeable.

 

143k on it now, figure it will have 145k after my drive back to Vegas from texas.

 

wow that's pretty cool. How does the car run with that mileage compared to when you got it?

 

204k and running strong baby. Nissan FTW!!!

 

original engine? How's it running compared to when you got it?

 

I've only had my car for about three weeks now but I just hit 40k yesterday. Absolutely loving it!

 

I really don't think there is much of a difference. I would love to keep driving this motor till its wasted, but i have another motor at home that i'm starting to build.

 

i bought my z a week ago and i just hit 51k on mine but runs great love it

 

Just hit 74,000...runs better than new.Original plugs...
As far as power loss..can't tell,cause actually have MORE with my engine/exhaust mods.
I've had 4 Nissans.All different models...not including a 240Z(Datsun)that I bought new
when they first came out.The engines under regular wear(not forced induction etc.) are pretty bulletproof...had 240k on a Pathfinder.

 

100k nd some change >_< runnin great although I've had it only for a few months ;]

 

97,000 and its running strong. I have put 30,000 fun a** miles on her.

 

204k, supercharged, she is running like a champ. Pulls hard with no issues. No leaking, no smoking, no nothing. I love my Z. Also have Megan resonated cat deleters, HKS hi power exhaust, and plenum spacer lol. Bulletproof.

just posted my first start up with the SC on youtube
