370z 146k Miles
 
Hi everyone

I now have a 2011 AT 370z with 146k miles on it. It's basically had no maintenance ever done to it besides changing the oil when needed. I have a couple of questions for the people that know or gone through these things. What do you guys think the first things I should do it?

Things I think I should replace
-air filter
-spark plugs
-trans fluid, but I've been reading that you never need to do it idk I think I going to anyways

What other things or fluids you guys think I should change?

Dang! Was the previous owner a cross country courier or something? I've got 20K on my '12.

If I drove 146,000 miles in a Z in 4 years, I'd probably shoot myself.

I rolled over to 5000 miles today and the car has been on the road with 2 owners over 7 months. I'm definitely not gonna win this high mileage competition ;-)

while the shop is under there they should also check the undercarriage for damage/rust and anything else noteworthy.

this car is going to give 90 a run for his money... i think after he read this thread he went and jumped into his car and probably be MIA for couple days while he adds on some more miles

lol my '12 is a little higher than yours and that's including my east-coast road trip!

honestly reassuring knowing these cars can go so far and hold up so well for such an extended period of time with very basic maintanence :tiphat:

Wonka2581 09-03-2015 02:10 PM

Geez... my 2011 just rolled over 16,000 and I thought that was bad....

Differential fluid and yes do the tranny fluid too you'll feel a great difference, I just did mine on both @ 90k miles 2010 370z and she runs far smoother now.

Also do a coolant flush, Prestone sells a liquid that cleans out the entire system before you do the flush just run it for like 2 days in your car and presto, swap the coolant fluid.

Check the integrity of your bands.
Brakes, tires, suspension... Maybe the hosing should be considered too. Make sure the oil you use is like 1 level thicker than the recommended due the wear on the Pistons... That's all I can think of...

You say nothing other than oil changes have been done, but I bet that's not entirely accurate. But assuming nothing was done, I would replace the following:

Brake rotors, pads, and fluid. Upgrade fluid to Motul RBF600.
Coolant, power steering, and differential (if Sport model) fluids. Upgrade to Redline ATF D6 for power steering and Redline 75W90 for differential.
Air intake filters
In-cabin air filter
Wiper blades
Battery
Belts
Tires (I am especially interested to see pics of the OEM tires with 146K miles lol :icon17:)

Also, make sure whoever does the AT work has done it before - it is a very specific procedure and although it is simple, it is easy to screw up. Only use Nissan S Matic Fluid for the 7AT.
