Anyone approaching 100K?

Who has the 5th Gen with highest mileage? How are the higher mileage 5th Gens holding up?

I've got 79,000 and my car just landed at the shop over the weekend for the first time since I got with 28,000 on it. It's in limp mode, I'm not really sure what's wrong. Maybe an MAF sensor, O2 sensor, Loose wire, etc..?

63,000 and some change

Well........

things that have gone wrong already, and things that need to be fixed currently:
1. bank 1 hego (o2)
2. clutch or flywheel is warped (have not rep. yet)
3. brakes 3x
4. need ECU recal
5. power steering pump (pulley bent)
6. 4 bent rims and bubbled tires (from I-94)
7. Need new shocks
8. need to grease ball joints and other fittings
9. ground strap to exhaust
10. y-pipe is rusting


I think that's it for now. And of course I need to get my front clip and hood repainted from all the chips.

Still love my car though!

Yikes!! After reading thru some of these

posts I'm changing my mind about Nissans being reliable cars and BMWs nickle and diming one to death!
My old had zero (zero, zero zero) problems apart from the LEDs going out on the computer display panel -in three years and 36k miles I did not touch that car -not even a light bulb!

Wow! have you gotten to drive your car at all? Sounds like the dealer probably put about 20k miles on your car just driving it after fixing stuff! j/k

Logged about close to 70+ hrs on a dyno, just to beat 255hp 6spds. As for Nissan dealership driving my car, only 1 person was allowed to drive my car after every repair, and he only logged on 5-6 miles on the car, cause I mark how much mileage was on the car, and how much afterwards. I know he went to get lunch w/ my car a few times my car was at Nissan, cause I had someone from NYC call me up and ask when did I get orange spiky hair.
