My car has 8000 miles and runs great (besides common '03 350z problems. tranny, idle etc). I picked it up with a few hundred miles on her already. But I did buy her brand new. I do have fun with this car. However, I take precautions. I use 5w30 mobil 1 syn w/ nissan oem filter. I also change oil every 3k. I dont start driving hard until the car is fully warmed up. I dont redline it everyday, but I do floor the car a lot. I bought it to have fun.
My car runs great now at 8000miles. My concern is that it will run like $hit down the road considering when I purchased it, it had 700 miles on it already. What do you think? I did buy a 6 year bumper to bumper warranty
just in case. The car also runs very fast.
Should I be ok? Am I over reacting?

I wouldn't worry too much about the engine. Some people on maxima.org have a ton of mileage on their 02+ Maximas which have the same engine. I wish I could give you an # but search is fricking disabled for non-paying members.
My vague memory tells me somewhere beyond 70K miles already...

Hmmm... oops, read too quickly and didn't see the 700 miles on the clock bit. Well, I posted a thread on maxima.org and it looks like the record on a 2K2+ Max is 74K miles.

I guess if you want more reports, look for a Pathfinder forum. The engine made its debut on the 2K1 Pathfinder.
