51k on my 07. Just replaced the slave, clutch and flywheel for good measure. Nothing was wrong with the original except a little throw out bearing noise. Other then that I haven't had any issues.

I'm up to 107K miles and the only thing done has been basic maintenance. Still runs like she did brand new. I've been very pleased with my Z's reliably.

im at 55k other than cosmetic wear my car has given me 0 problems i bought with 13 miles dynoed it 2 weeks ago
thats weird what mods do you have?
im at 295 on the same dyno but with basic bolt ons
Dynojet 242 I wanna say but I'm sure I'm wrong on the 242 part. Dyno was being mad stingy that day and a lot of us that ran that day think there may have been some user error as well with it's operation (we were being ran in 4th, etc)
Also I need to change my tranny and diff oils, air filter, spark plugs (I'm kissing 100k...it's time)

checking in to once again own everyone, lol. my Z is a few hundred short of 127,000 miles and is still going strong, even the original clutch feels great after a fresh trans/clutch fluid change. this is now the highest mileage car i've ever owned and i'd love to keep her forever as a track toy, but might sell for something a little more commuter-friendly (and auto :-/)

That's awesome man. I'm at 75k and definitely don't hold back on driving.

nope, can't say i've ever had any synchro or grinding issues (aside from the occasional user error). the only thing i've noticed is that since i stopped using the OEM tranny/clutch fluid, it's noticeably tougher to get into 1st and 2nd on cold startups, but that's about it. have you tried swapping those out yet?

My 07 was bought with 17k, and now is sitting at 23k. Washed and waxed, and now covered for winter /cry

I'm at 103k. Just today had a new clutch with a new throw out bearing put in. The clutch didn't have to be replaced, but sine I had to replace the throw out bearing I went ahead and had the clutch replaced. Also put some Michelin PSS's on, those things are amazing.
When is the timing chain due? Anyone with an HR have one break?

Pretty sure you don't have to worry about the timing chain. It's maintenance free unlike timing belts.
I'm at 76k with my 07. Maybe it's just me, but taking off from a light the car feels sluggish. Throttle response is there, but speed doesn't really climb. Or maybe I'm just lazy shifting? Been driving stick for 9years. I notice a lot of the slower cars take off way faster. I'm always on top of maintenance on this car but this was just something I observed.

07 with 52k miles
i had the CSC changed at 48k
some paint chipping in the back bumper
and im having some weird problems sometimes when i start the car after its been off a couple of hours and i take off the car seems to bug out like if it was going to stall and the rpm needle starts to bounce the problem only gets better after i rev the car high for the first 5 minutes of driving and then it wont happen again when engine has already been running for like 10 minutes.
any of you experienced this? if so what is and how could i fix it

I have similar probs but it doesn't feel like it's going to stall. Mine feels like it is stuttering around 1.5k all the way to 3k rpm. Once i get past that, my revs become smooth. Otherwise, it'll sort of stutter its way up to 3k rpm..... Happens only a few mins of driving on cold start. Once engine warms up, it doesn't do that. I'm suspecting it's my test pipes and no tune.
