Nissan 370Z Forum  

Any idea how long the engine is good for?

Just curious if anyone knows any super-high mileage Z's out there (or have heard of any). I'm wondering what to expect in terms of longevity. thanks!

I have heard of VQ's last up to 300K when proper maintenance was always performed, no reason to not expect a long life from your engine too

rotarys are very hit an miss for a good engine ESPECIALLY in a second hand RX8, my mates was rebuild at 40000kms and was 2 yrs old. Ive seen ones that are maintained well and redlined once a drive last longer than yours. Im sure you've got it mastered to get to 150k though.
