Just wanted to know who has the highest mileage and any problems with the VQ engine?

 

I think there is one member with over 100K on the board, but forgot who.

 

I have to say that I love the VQ. This is my first Nissan ever, and it seems to get stronger every mile. I got only 13000 on but not one problem, and I drive it pretty hard.

 

93 Pathfinder 350,000 miles
99 Maxima 225,000 miles
02 Maxima AE - 55,000 miles
03 DB Touring - 7,500 (traded in for a Roaster)
04 ZR - 500 miles

 

I've got 25000 miles and so far no problems with the VQ.

Ive got 36,000 miles on mine. I drive it the way its meant to be driven, no problems. I change my oil every 3000-3500 miles, and it never burns any oil between changes.....I love the VQ

 

240Z = 208,000 miles
350Z = 41,000 miles

 

I don't have my Z yet, but I drive around 18K a year so I am considered a high mileage driver. Since the Z will be my only car I should have a lot of miles.

 

I know this is completely off topic but I just wonder how did you brake in your Z? Did you follow the manual or not?

 

27,000 miles and no VQ problems. I have had just about every TSB done though. At 21K had realignment and new tires. Still not even a hint of feathering has returned. I am keeping my fingers crossed. My fist feathering appeared at 4000 miles.

I follow th owners manual (1200) under 4k rpm, I change every 3000-3500 oil change and schedule maintenace.

 

18K is only slightly above average. You'll find that the Z owners who DRIVE their car, like to let yhe miles accumulate.

I had mine garaged for 3 months in the winter and put 32,000 on it this year. I loved EVERY mile!

 

For $32K for sure I don't mind letting the miles pile up. It would suck to own an expensive sports car and not drive it much.

 

18760 no problems with the engine..actually the Typhoon gets me better gas milage on the Highway (but not when gettin onit)

 

36K

 

Almost 2 months old. 4k miles.

 

23.5k miles. One set front tires replaced due to feathering at 22k. Car seems to go thru oil quickly, but i do go wot at every chance...luv dat poopcharger sound!

 

I picked up my Z in Feb '03. 47k now and everything is going great. I'll probably hit 65k-70k by winter. What can I say, I love driving this car.
