fairladyz2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hi, Was seeing if anyone knew anything about the engine life expectancy of a 350z (approx)?? Mines at just over 100k miles ... As I found out in my previous car - mazda rx8.. Engine rebuild is expected around 70k miles ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Provided its maintained/serviced properly they will go on for many more than 100k. I think there is someone on here with 180k+ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 There is a thread on the US forums for 200k mile plus cars. Certainly a number over there that are cracking on 300k's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The 350DE was designed to do 200,000 miles with regular servicing (can't remember the name of the guy who designed it) but as Bronzee says the my350z.com site has guys running well over 200,000 miles, so as long as its looked after you have many more miles of happy motoring left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I had my Zed up to 112k and it pulled as good as the day I got it and I suspect the day it came out of the factory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite72 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 typed in premix in to search and it threw up this thread still have my R3 ( shes a keeper ) but on the subject of premixing,is it something that ye do with the Zed? im guessing probably not but us rotary owners do it religiously ( well most of us ) it keep the carbon off the rotors ect Is it something Zed owners do or is it not necessary? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMLNJ Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Don't get too hung up on milage on engines. The v6 lump is a strong engine if maintained. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzed8 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Im on 130k and still going strong. As long as its maintained well through its life and run on super unleaded there shouldn't be any problems with higher miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeezeebaba Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Most engines last if looked after bar a few exceptions that sometimes require preventative work. The Rover K series springs to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The VQ is a Nissan designed and built motor. The VQ series was 1st only a 3ltr motor fitted in a Maxima in the UK. It was around a long time before Renault helped Nissan out financially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
