Miles on a Nismo

pokeyl

OK I drive 54 miles one way to work each day, but I spend 6 month deployed a year. I ride the ZX10r on nice days. You do the math.

I don't thing city driving is too bad. That things that gets people is not getting a chance to open her up on occasion. I do that as much as possible. And avoid all of the randomness in the road doing it, lol!

Nice, this is awesome to hear all the stories.

I didn't plan on mine being a daily driver, but if it's not pouring down rain, I HAVE to drive it. I've put almost 5k miles on mine since October. I'm at just over 29,700mi.

My daily commute is about 30 miles round trip, half highway half city. Depending on my schedule, I hit heavy stop and go traffic about every other day. These cars aren't bad in traffic at all, especially with the clutch spring mod.

Mine is my DD. My round trip is 46 miles 95% highway 70-80mph. I got it 1/26/2012 and I have 3100 miles already. I enjoy taking her out to Malibu on the weekends.

The first day I got her I saw 3 280's on the freeway. I see a lot of old Zs driving around. I hope one day 30 years from now a new Z owner sees me still driving the Nismo.

I've had mine for 3 days now and I just hit 600 miles. My daily was an '06 4runner but as soon as I got the NISMO I retired the SUV until I need to go camping or somewhere that requires space. Haha.

I just hit 10K on my 09 and am pretty sad about it.

Id like to drive mine everywhere but Vegas is a harsh environment. Its guaranteed that your dd will get backed into or scratched/dinged every couple of months here. They say over 75% of the lv population is intoxicated or high on something after 8pm.

2010 bought with 7 miles on July 1st. im at 36k now!

Raw_Shark

That's a good point. If I had to park in a crowded/public area at work I would leave the 370z at home most days. Luckily we have a private parking deck, and I park on the very top where it's empty. If I couldn't do that I wouldn't daily drive her.

No dry rot or flat spots on my tires. I just hit 31k on my 09. This car is made to be driven. I can't imagine it just sitting in a garage on a nice days. I have Fwd beater, but drive that on shity days. I don't p@@@yfoot my Z either. It feels better unleashed. I remember 1 thing my grandfather told me,"you only live once and you cant take it with ya when your gone. So with that's said I'm not gonna worry about the petty things in life. Especially not a sports car. That's just silly to me. Same mentality if I owned a GT-R. If I had money to purchase 1 then i have the money fix it if it breaks. Omg! Where did this chip in the paint come from?! Auhh..it's a car and meant to happen? Lol
The Z isn't a collectors piece. Im sure the majority of 370owners are already waiting for the 380z or the next Z to come out. Sorry if I hurt some garage members feelings here. I just don't get it. This car is to much fun not to drive.

roplusbee

I will be sad when the next Z is released. I will have just really gotten into mine good, lol. I agree with you though. The Z is definitely meant to drive. I think the more it sits around collecting dust, the more issues will arise. Once I get back, I am going to give here a good once over and drive her like intended.............

I'm at 34k with about 15k boosted miles. Bought new in May 2010, its my DD.

Halfway on my third set of tires Funny thing...the fronts and the rears used to wear out at the same time. After adding the turbos, the rears seem to wear out a bit faster. I think my alignment may be off.
