Actually, the vq35 is rated FOR 200,000 miles by Nissan. Who ever told you that really has no clue what they're talking about. We have a few members here with mileage that's very close to and even over 200k running great. But a lot of it depends on how it was maintained.

There way more too. Check the mileage threads:

Welcome and congratulations. No worries -- the VQ motor is known to hold up with high mileage.

Don't stress,enjoy your car!
Nissan engines are bulletproof given proper care.
USE COMMON SENSE...
A recent poster mentioned buying a Z with similar miles as yours.
He PM me on some questions,said he was driving around revs to redline!
Not a good idea on a car with the miles &unknown maitenance records.
Just be careful.

Welcome newbie. Probably not question you can think of about your Z that hasn't already been answered many times over on this forum. Take time to have a good look around the forum.
