My Z is getting close to hit 180k, runs mint, body is mint, leather is not rip but does show a little wear on driver seat, no light on dash. A few guys told me that the Z engine is only rated for 200k max, and my engine should blow up very soon is this right ? I just want to know how many of you have gone over the 200k mark ?

 

Do you realize how retarded that sounds?

The VQ35 is a strong engine, and with proper maintenance and care 200k+ is easy.

 

Come on Massachusetts we are better then this...










Jk...

But their is no magic number that an engine will survive, if properly maintained it should last a long time... However with age, use and miles things start giving up... The starter, fuel pump, alternator etc...

You are very excited about your high miles

 

There are a lot of them floating around. 250k miles is the most I have heard of so far with original motor

 

I got pretty close, 189k miles and pushing but blew the engine. Then started the nightmare my shop calls a "build".

 

Your shop must be called Real Auto Dynamics

 

Not quite, RD racing here in Houston, it has been delay after delay with them.Shop split in two or something, luckily I am set to pick my baby up on Wednesday after not driving it for 7 months.

 

7 months bejesus what did they need to drink the soda melt down the cans and then carve the block into shape with a dremel?

 

Something along those lines, but it's been 7 months since I've driven it, shop before had it for 4 this ones had it for 3.

 

I think i guy name XLR8 has an 03 with 252k but not sure if his original motor.
