Default 9 and a half years later... me and my faithful steed have hit 200k.

Car: 2003 Silverstone 350z Track Edition. 6spd manual.

Purchased: November, 2002.

Repairs over 9.5 years: Motor for auto windows (left and right). Replaced cam sensor.
(That is it. Period.) Total of maybe 350.00 over the life of the car.

Mods: TD borla exhaust, UR pulleys, Crawford plenum expander, JWT pop charger, Megan Racing Pipes, grounding kit.


I can't believe how great these cars are. I'm still on the original clutch for crying out loud. The car is survivor as long as you stay on top of the maintenance. Take care of your baby, and she will take care of you.


When the car hit 200k, I got out and took this picture.

EDIT: Sorry for the size of the damn pictures

Congrats man! I'm not too far behind you with 122k! I have a 1990 Honda Accord with 265k. You're absolutely right about the maintenance.

Car's were meant to be driven and lets just say your driving, lol. Your car looks like it just came off of the show room floor. I just hit 110k and have only replaced my battery and one window motor, which was covered by my insurance at the time. 350z are very reliable.

Looks great! I'm jealous of you front bumper. I have an 05 with barely 42K+ miles and my bumper looks like it has been to war.

Ahhh. I was hoping I would be one of the first to hit 200k. 171k currently. Someone needs to start a 200k club thread soon.

Nice, going to be a while till mine hits 200k now that it's not my DD. 150k now, same repairs but I did have the 5th gear grind when I bought it with 36k on it, so I did get a trans.

Congrats. I got my Z in 2004 and it also runs great even when boosted. You don't even need to really stay 100% on-top of the maintenance and they keep going. I think I am in the 135,000 mark.

I meant to take a photo just like you did at 100,000 miles but my dumbass drove past it and didn't even remember until I got in to the car a few days later. I don't even remember where I was when it hit 100,000. Ugh.

Love these cars.
