???My Z is at 74k...what will it run like at,150k?
Depends on what I do(maintain)and how I drive...
What specifics are you concerned about?Engine,gearbox,
body,interior etc.?
The Z engine is pretty bullet-proof if you use common sense maitenance.
Nissan/Datsun engines in general,pretty damn good.I had a Pathfinder,250k miles,
ran like new!
A factor is if you bought the car new or,it had several previousowners that may have not
done a good job on taking care of the car.
What shape is it in NOW.Start from there.

Mine hit 100K recently and I just bought it so I am planning to do some major maintenance on it. Changing every single fluid, new air and oil filters, new spark plugs, probably new hoses, new battery. I have no idea how the previous owner took care of it so I will be starting from scratch and will take care of it the way it deserves.

Do not know what you have replaced in the past? Time for new dampers?

The VQ was said to be one of the best engines on the market, I've heard plenty of these engines and i gotta say...you keep a steady maintenance with good filters and oils and these things will sound new even at 200000 miles. Just another reason i bought a Z Only had it for a year, little things need to be done but nothing major or costly, i am highly satisfied with the product. Only down part for this car is the damn interior plastics...rattle everywhere after a while.
