A next milestone on the way to work this morning - 150k miles on my 2-owner 2005 Enthusiast

 

I have 155000 and while I don't really keep an eye on my gas consumption I have had "0" problems with my engine. Actually looking to put coil overs, drop the car an Ince and new wheels and tires

 

I changed over my shocks/springs to the Nismo units last year and have been very happy with them (I found a set of take-offs that had ~60k miles on them, at least that's what I was told). Along with replacing the bushings and balljoints, the car rides great!

 

492186 miles. Burnt valve in number six hole due to second stage of stock cat breaking lose and restricting flow. Still on third clutch. No tranny problems. Replacing factory starter next week. Other than that, all good. Would buy again!

 

500 miles from 500,000. As a side note to my earlier post. I've never had synthetic oil in this car and was advised not to at 32,000 miles. No tranny problem, original drive shaft which was told would fail at about 200,000. Recently replace front and rear wheel bearings. I've never babied this car, I've driven it. Debating on what I'm going to about the burnt valve problem.Probably pull that side off and lite grid and put it back together, after I hit 500,00. I believe one saving grace was getting rid of the heavy flywheel.

 

Been there, at 112,000 now, good mileage, but use no oil. Are you still using 5W-30 or low vis oil? I have used 10W-40 Castrol, 5 qt. jug and 1 pint of STP oil treatment from day 1, 4500 mile service and never added oil between. Low vis oil is your worst enemy regardless of what manuals say. And you can overfill a bit, no problems. I have 3 Nissans, all 3 get same recipe, all 3 use no oil. 50+ years of turning wrenches to back it up. I always tell people to go to your local drag strip and see who the biggest sponsor is. Mobil1 is another good choice, just always prefer Castrol.

 

My wife bought a new red 2004 Automatic Roadster. Just hit 102K. Bone stock garage queen. Never run very hard except for beautiful drives through the N. GA mountains.

About to get some stuff done, a bunch of fluid changes as she hasn't seen alot of miles, but it's been 5 yrs since any (other than oil).
Power Steering
Brake fluid
Auto Trans
Differential

Radiator is clean, will leave that out.
anything else?

 

New Owner here. Don't know the history. But she just turned 182,000 Miles old. Sounds good. Hope she cant stay fun for a while.
