Drive it, mine has been to the track at minimum of 15 days a year (not the lame as drag racing crap either ) for the past 4 years. The motor will take abuse. My 03 still feels the same (actually better with the mods on it ) than my 05 with only 60k on it that is just a commuter car.

if it is not broke, don't fix it.

normal maintenance. Tune up, fluids, inspections and lubing things up. According to the "dealer" maintenance its mostly inspections of things, and changing of the plugs, oil, and maybe trans fluid. But it is set for 105k.

Just rolled over to 100,000 about a week ago on my 03 base. I got my roll over on video, but I was stuck in traffic so it's super long. No problems with it yet, it's in great shape and has a lot left in it

Turned 109,00 on Sunday, at pretty close to 100MPH on the back stretch at Nelson Ledges Road Course. Only things I have replaced were a couple of coil packs, a cam position sensor, and a throttle body. AND about 6 sets of tires, lol.

Just rolled my 03 over last week to 100,000. The only problem I had with it so far was to replace the clutch fork pivot bolt but that was at 60,000 miles. Defective in alot of 03 Z's supposedly.

awesome to hear that the Z's with 100k+ miles still feel as strong as they did when the owners bought them, especially on original engines and transmissions.

As someone who is just beginning search/research for a Z, its great to see so many people report very little problems with 100k+ cars... especially since I am looking to buy one that inevitably will not be "low" miles (tired of car payments, want to pay cash= earlier model year than I would buy w a loan).

This is one of the reasons I have a Z in my future... after having 5 German cars that were either new or fairly new- I dont trust them after warranty. Nissan, on the other hand, makes a strong engine and a great car, as evidenced by this thread and forum in general.

This thread is great for people in my boat. Reassuring to say the least.

Thanks guys/gals.

My 2006 is at 118K mikes and counting...
It's time to check the front brakes and/or wheel bearings though!

Other than normal items (tires?) and oil changes it's 100% stock.

Performance wise, it hasn't changed at all. I'm **very** happy with it.

The grinding noise, on the other hand, means a tear-down weekend coming up!

-That happens when you have over 100K mile; normal wear!

That's awesome man. Glad to hear. Did you buy it new?

Is 3rd gear giving you trouble?
