Miles on a Nismo

Armhunter · 03-27-2012, 01:57 PM

So how many of you actually drive the Nismo every day? How many store it for maybe once a week or only nice days?

I am having a hard time not driving it. But I also dont want to put the miles on it, so I discipline myself and leave it in the garage.

Who has the highest miles?

Mine is only two weeks old, but its my DD a least until my allergies calm down so I can start riding my bike again. Sneezing with a full face helmet on is no fun. I also don't believe in not using something that I'm paying for.

How many miles does your 370Z have on it?‎

I was using it as a dd a year ago but I moved to Dallas for school so now I use my prelude to go back and forth to Houston, so I drive it whenever I go back home.

I just bought mine on Sunday. But I drove it from Modesto, CA to Bakersfield, CA. It has about 280 miles on it. I am going to try to leave it alone today. I have an FJ Cruiser I will keep driving to split up the miles on it.

Mine is a DD and track day car. I've had it since new in Oct. 2010 and have about 24k miles on it as of today.

I regularly drive from Dallas to Houston/Austin/OKC for business and honestly except for some harshness on highway seams, it's really one of the best highway cars I've driven. Point it, set the cruise, and it just goes.

Make sure you check for and remove the shipping spacers from off of the front springs. Don't take the dealership's word that they are removed.

I only drive mine on nice days... I told myself I have to drive it more this year. Got it in summer of 2010 and only have about 5100 miles on it...

NissanGuy23 · 03-27-2012, 02:49 PM

Mine is a daily driver. I got it on feb 04 this year, with 21,699 miles on it i now have 25,150. So, i def need to slow down! I freqently go out for an hour plus drive for no reason, or go to the walmart 20 miles away when i could just go down the street to get XYZ. My work is 2 miles away so i have very little work related miles

Niche79 · 03-27-2012, 04:11 PM

I live so close to work, even my DD only had got 5k miles in the last 2 years, but I dont take that on road trips either as being a DD, Im worried about taking my older car that far

10 mins and im sitting in the jobs parking lot! I like to keep any new car to 10k or less even with road trips etc just for resale purposes down the road.

Mine is my DD. 28K on her right now and I have been in Afghanistan for 10 months. I picked her up in March of 2010, but closed the deal in October of 2009. Gotta love deployments!

nismonster · 03-27-2012, 05:36 PM

I bought my 2009 nismo in June 2011 with ~4k miles on it. There are ~20k miles on it now, 9 months later...no intentions of slowing down. The more I drive it, the more I want to drive it.

MJB · 03-27-2012, 07:07 PM

Mine isn't a DD and is currently in storage

09 with 14k miles on it.

DCNISMO · 03-27-2012, 08:22 PM

I only drive on weekends since I live and work in the city. I. don't think I would use it as a daily driver if I had to do a lot of city driving. Highway would be ok but not city.
