I have 6000 km on mine, going strong with no issues. Super reliable! :)

That’s hardly a testament for this thread. Just saying. I daily mine to office 71 miles one way 3x a week lol.

Come back when you get a few more 0's on that number.

:iagree:

Plastic fuel pump hats break, CV axles click, pre 2014 galley gaskets prone to failure, plastic mender in heater core hose breaks, rear end mount fails, ........:tiphat:

Those are the most common very rare failures. Most people have not changed any of that stuff and are running fine and will continue on. You can also add the 5th gear syncro is weak but its not common that people are replacing their manual trans out. Most people don't notice their diff mount is leaking till their upgrading it.

I dont know if any1 mentioned this but heres my 2 cents

Buy a 2014+ Z no early version due to Oil galley leaking issues, also when you tune it due to 100+K miles I suggest to tell your tuner to keep the timing advance normal to low to minimize engine issues, to find a descent engine just check for blow by and wipe under the engine oil cap if anything black or milk chocolate color walk away. GL

ohh and Oil cooler is a must.

You have to drive it for sure. Nissan's stuff is generally reliable above 100k but these cars are like the WRX...owned by people who like to beat on them pretty hard. I would avoid one of these above 100k as a general rule to be honest.

I disagree with "very rare" and "most have not changed any of that stuff". If "most people" don't notice their rear diff bushing blown that doesn't mean it's rare. Rather, it's common for people to just drive cars and not give a rats butt about maintenance, inspections, etc.

I'm not saying the Z is junk but it's certainly not without it's faults and any potential buyer who asks deserves to know the questionable areas rather than sugar coating it.

I’m tuned and sitting at 225,000 miles with the timing advanced, just intake and exhaust modded along with upgraded clutch and flywheel and stiffer transmission and diff mounts but no issues and compression is still at 210+ on all cylinders and passed leak Down testing
