I agree with this statement, I take VERY good care of my z, i don't let anyone touch the thing...it's constantly cleaned and gets regular fluid changes, the only thing i had to replace so far was the left side fender when i got into a minor accident, so the paint was also replaced on that fender as well as the front of the vehicle but you can't even tell anything happened
So im on top of everything. The car was used alot for work in SD at one point.
Im not sure about the plugs and all since I bought the car used in 05 and it had it done then I think. I had all the systems drained when I first got the car and have been following my schedule not the one the dealer has set for me.
Full synthetic on tranny fluids and oil changes. I wash my car weekly and wax it every other month so I think Im doing a good job on the up keep.

no problems, regular maintainance always done by me.
only thing I can complain about is going thru one window motor on the passenger side, simple fix.. it works like new now.. AND factory amp for the sub is sketchy.. sometimes works.. sometimes doesnt.. u have to bang the panel a little sometimes

at 100K you should have already had a fluid change on the trans and diff, and also should be on your 2nd set of plugs.
I have 89K and have done each fluid change twice, about to do my 3rd set of plugs, 3 clutches (one was faulty), 3 window motors, evap cannister, and 22 tires.
I think BrickyardRat hit 100K 2-3 years ago, in his 03.

miles are one thing, its also on how you maintain a vehicle. I barely get up on it but when I do it really gets up and goes.. no slippage in the clutch, motor is quiet - no valve lash or anything like that. I always put additives in the oil when it gets changed, and add some octane booster every now and then.. 146,000kms .. serviced and stored for the winter.

Both times i replaced the clutch was fine, but it wasnt from lack of trying. . . I drive the **** out of it.
Let's see mine has been alot of places also. When the Z was new I drove it from Scottsdale Arizona to Jacksonville Florida. I then simply drove up I-95 to Jersey and straight to New York and back twice. Since then I have traveled to Salt Lake city Utah and Moscow Idaho. I also had my share of visiting a few places in Northern california not to mention numerous times to Las Vegas Nevada. After all that driving I have racked up 158k miles and counting. She still runs perfect and still looks damn good after all those miles.
Most of the problems that u've had im having right now at 40K
I was changed both window motors
My stock cd player doesnt work when cold
I have some metal noise when car is cold and accelerating !

It also has some bearing that they are frameless windows, so pays to be gentle when closing the doors.
