2003 VQ35DE almost 200K
 

My z is approaching 200K soon and I'm hoping to make it there to be in the 200K club. And I'll be trying to get a tune soon.

Mods are
JWT popcharger
jwt clutch and flywheel.
Motordyne plenum spacer
Custom straight pipe from cats.

Repairs
Valve cover gaskets (130k)
Replaced upper plenum with a younger one @170k
New upper oil pan and gasket 178K
New lower pan and gasket 178K
Tranny fluid switch to redline @170K
Rear pads at 160K
Oil is changed every 3K miles. All my changes consist of mobi 1 extended performance. I'm currently running Castro 5w-30


Any major repairs I should look for?

Nice pic, congrats! A simple compression test will give you a general idea of overall health. gl!

Nice I would keep my eyes open for a lower mileage engine and transmission...

It will probably go another 50-100k miles though :dunno:

:thumbup: looking good...

Looks good. Is it using / burning oil?

Thanks everyone and yes it is. But I beat on the car a lot (redline , hard accceleration, high tpms). But when I grandma the thing for 3K. Not much oil is consumed.

I just bought a 03 G about 6 weeks ago that was right at 201K. Runs amazing aside from a few issues that don't seem to be effecting much but gas mileage. These motors can run 200k plus but the life they lived up to that point means a lot also. I had a Mustang GT 03 model I bought new and kept it 11-12 years babying it with every possible thing that wasn't perfect. I can say 12 years later until I flipped it, it was probably a better car than when It was new from the factory. Preventative Maintenance is everything. If its cheap and its a maybe I replaced and or fixed it, cleaned it, tweaked it.

FYI this is my first post on this forum.
