Just hit big 10K tonight!

AK370Z · 10-19-2009, 11:06 PM

wow.. I hit the big 10,000 mile mark tonight. I have been driving back and forth to the hospital everyday. Therefore I hit the milestone a little sooner than I expected.

Those were 10,000 fantastic miles! I have enjoyed EVERY one of them. I have received countless thumbs up, positive compliments, etc from people around me. I had a lot of fun as well too. It was a perfect balance of power and handling. This car has delivered more than what I have expected from it. Big thumbs up to

Nissan for giving us such a beautiful sports coupe despite the "non sports car" like economy.

So, who else in the 10K Club?

haha I agree. As soon as my dad feels better, I will focus on the Z. I think I will ask her if she wants to breathe better or if she wants winter shoes...

Here's a picture from today from the Hospital Roof (parking 9th floor)

Poor Z

how long did it take you to get to 10k? i've had mine since July 15th, already at 5k.. love every second of it.

How about a brief synopsis on the 10K - observations? Tires/wear and tear items? maintenance issues? noises? quality issues?

I know the cumulative of posts here (yours and others) has all this, I'd just be interested in a singular perspective to this point.

Absolutely! thanks for asking.

Exterior: I have kept the car pretty clean. I really didn't had any paint peeling or fading issue. Even at 10K miles, it shines really good.

Interior: I really can't find anything worth mentioning. Sometimes I get a slight rattle from the trunk area but it's intermittent and more noticeable in bumpy road.

Tires: They are in great shape. I don't do any burnouts or crazy stuff but I'm also not shy to take it to the Red line. Plenty of threads left.

Maintenance issue: NONE. I have been running Redline Synthetic(which is ester based) since 4000 miles. Car runs VERY smooth. Even during the hottest summer days, I was only able to bring the oil temp up to 230F (everyday street driving )

Also, please keep in mind, the more miles I have accumulated, the more stable car has become. During the first 1000 miles, it was a lot easier to bring the oil temp up than lets say at 9000 miles. Almost ALL high mileage members experienced the same. As mileage raked up, car felt more and more stable and everything seems to settle in.

As of 10001 miles, SynchroRev Match working flawlessly and Transmission seems to be in good shape.

I did found some metal shaving in my 2nd oil change meaning car was still breaking in. You can follow up my oil change stuff here DIY: Nissan 370Z Oil change (AK370Z way) Pictures inside.

I did NOT notice any oil burning by the engine. I check my oil level twice a month. I think I have added 1/2 to 3/4 quart in a 5 month period, which is VERY normal.

Feel free to ask any more specific question(s) if you have.

I won't go crazy but I have some simple plans for it. I am a little occupied right now but slowly I will focus on the Z more.
