I have an 04 with almost 17K on it. I had some electrical poblems with it but I noticed those the day it was delivered to the dealership. Other than that, the only problems that have surfaced since then is the fact that a stock 04 Z has mediocre HP/potential compared to cars that have come out since.

74k now @ 2 years 3 months. Still believe that Jim has the 1 up on me, and also one of the MRC Motorsports guys.
My only issue right now is the annoying window which rolls down about 4" when using auto-up and it's been a hot day.
Replaced many things in the past. The tranny, rear half axle, shifter assembly, AC tensioner pulley, exhaust, door window died (which new motor is giving new problems), and that's about all I can remember.

Alright, how can I tell if it's a 04 or 04 and a half? And the mediocre numbers I'm referring to are not just in respect to what has come out with better numbers but cars that have come out with close numbers i.e. Mitsu Eclipse (260 HP..what the hell is this?), EVO VIII, WRX Sti, etc. For the price, I'm starting to think that the Z is not worth it. Convince me otherwise, for the sake of my ego...i guess.

I have about 58k miles of literally hard a** driving. Only problem is oil consumption I lose about a quart every 1k which I have come to accept which Nissan will not cover. Technically speaking if I did oil changes at intervals of 5k I am actually doing 2 oil changes with the amount that I have to use to top off the oil LoL. I use Mobil1 filters and oil. Tranny replaced once at 28k but grinds havent appeared since besides misshifts due to my error. Otherwise she drives and sounds like how I first got her.

bought 6/1/03; just hit 40k. get a bra (clear?), steering wheel cover, seat covers, rubber shift ****, and a catch can. make sure your floormats have the rubber under the heel, too.

58,000 miles and still running hard. I average 1-2, 10 lbs bottles of nitrous a week, for the last 25,000 miles with no major issues. I have a little oil consumption, but that was occurring before I sprayed the car.

On the street I just begin ramping from a 35 shot @ 3000 RPMs to a full 100 shot by 4000 RPMs. I only spray when rolling at highway speeds and this keep my tires from breaking loose so badly.
I can say this. My Z's motor has been taking a beating with tons of nitrous flowing through her and she is still charging down the track and highways as good or better than she ever has. She's not the fastest thing out there, but she'll run 12.5 @112 on stock sized 245/40/18 street tires.
