When my engine blows in the next few years, or loses compression, etc... That will just be my excuse to build a beefy engine and bolt a couple snails to it.

Just say Nissan engines, because the KA still runs even in some of the cars in the worse looking condition. Nissans are not you typical car on the side of the road, enless there's a wreck.

Just by driving this car, I get a lot of attention from people like staring at my car and random people give me compliments this body style will be strong cause it looks like a porshe and people automatically assume things. In the long run SAVE YOUR MONEY! spend it on something else after u have paid off the car!!!

Well, that is true, I had many Nissans before(ka24de's and vg30e and vq35de). The tranny will go out before the engine. Also, my respond meant to go for his 350Z NOT other Nissan engines, but you are right.

Good thing there is no problems with our VQs consuming massive amounts of oils or something. That would suck.

definitely keeping my car...

have a warranty until 80k miles, and I hope it runs at least twice that long.

I know its hard not to sound biased, but thats why I bought Nissan this time (never own a nissan before the 350Z). But after seeing a friend of mine who has an old Nissan Truck that has roughly 200k miles on it, driving around like it was the 1st day he got it... got me really thinking about the quality of these engines

I'm keeping mine for a while, until the 370Z has been out for a couple of years so they can work out some of the bugs.

Regardless of my finances in the future, I plan on keeping mine for as long as it'll roll. I've a ton of sentimental value in my car that I could never "trade-in."

I got 08 with regular warranty... I'll probably get extended warranty before my 3 year / 36,000 miles runs out and I'm def keeping my car!
