Valve body (2012 - by uncle tranny shop)
All catyl (2012 at muffler shop)
Engine oil change every 3K miles (almost 1 / month)

At this much miles, yet to flush brake lines, radiator coolant - one day I will.

And she still runs great except burning oil (add 1 qrt oil every 1700 miles). Want to take her to 400K.....

 

Wow thats awesome. No transmission or timing chain problems? I have a 2007 with 185k on it that I need to last another two years. Put approx 45k miles per year.

 

Purchased 2004 Maxima SE with the 5 speed automatic transmission in 2012 with 67K miles & sold in 2022 with 173k

Car ran good just leaked fluids which required topping off every few weeks (every thing except coolant) and had an occasional rattling noise caused by loose heat shield.

2006 with 118k

New to forum today.

Was thinking of trading in car but think I want to make some repairs and get a couple more years out of it.

Have had one leaking AC line and brakes as far as issues to date.

I believe I need bearings as I have started to hear metallic rubbing when turning. Loud road noise too.

Front end lifts excessively on mild acceleration. Bounces on stop. Struts and shocks have been replaced within 1-2 years, thinking motor mounts?

 

Well, my 2003 6 speed is still going strong! I replaced the clutch - original clutch, mind you, at 225k. No, that's not a joke or misprint. I still had life in it, too, but the pedal was getting pretty low on shifts. Replaced the power steering hose at 180k. Other than that, general maintenance.

As of today, I'm at 267,321 miles.

Hell of a car.

Jack

 

Impressive

I'm guessing you dont drive it very hard and always stay on top of your maintenance though.

Wish I was that disciplined with mine...Im at 135k now and finding it hard keeping up with stuff needing replacement. Must be my driving habits and lack of doing scheduled maintenance on time.

 

I bought my Max with a 100k on the odometer in July of 2012. it now has 127k on it

AJ

 

05 max, bought it with 83k miles in 2013. Currently at 105k miles. No complaints.

 

Bought mine in June with 187,xxx. Currently has 195,419. Nearly perfect inside and out. Everything works (except sunroof) My friend has an 05 Sentra SER Spec V, with 40,000 miles, header, larger throttle body, coldair intake, etc. We have raced from red light to red light, rolling starts, 65mph, and he cant pull me in any scenario. Its always me by a fender. Pretty good for a car that has nearly been to the moon. However, the timing issue is a biggie. didnt make a sound till I insured, tagged and put it into service as my only vehicle. Now it rattles on start, between shifts and under deceleration in gear. With the miles on it, it seems senseless not to replace everything related to the timing while its apart. Like the car, hate the color, love the surprise when people dismiss it as just a light brown sedan. The 6 speed, perfect leather, and a Z engine (almost) are why i bought it. Now I dont know if its worth the cost of repairing the timing system. I can barely get a flashlight between the strut tower and the cover. So, not doing it myself. Have a garage but not enough time, tools or patience. The Nissan dealership in Asheville NC wants $4040 for parts and labor. Anyone else trustworthy is in at around $2500.

 

I have about 110k now on an 07. Was new to my family since 07. Keep up on maintenance (oil, trans, and brake fluid & PW). Looking for 200k. The engine is spotless.

 

Is there a 300k mileage club?

 

My first post here. Great forum! Here's Maxi6, just broke 100K!

 

I like the grill. Also the Z wheels, right.? The Z has a wider rear wheel/tire right?







Same color...

 

I did finish ripping off the visors and put new Hankooks on it since pic was taken. 198,768 miles.

 

If there was, I would be in it... 308K here lol

 

2007 SL Just hit 74k

 

Bought it at 140k for 6,000 no problems now at 170k

 

Haha. I'm at 109k now, but managed to get pic at 100k!

 

Everytime I drive to a location, I end up circling at the end for anywhere from 5 - 30 minutes. Every lunch break, 30 minute cruise. Head back home and spend and extra hour taking the windy, scenic route.

I really wish I could save petrol but how addicting is it sticking to the line and blasting around corners with the smooth and torquey CVT 3.5ltr Nissan baby

Then again every car I have owned has been the same.

 

Got my 08 SL in January with around 92k. Just went over the 100k mark. Getting a pretty low 17mpg - I need to replace my o2 sensor (Getting a p0151 code). Hopefully that will get me better mileage.
Until the o2 sensor issue started it had been driving well. Now it feels like it's struggling to breathe sometimes and when it finally does, the thing takes off.

I'm researching which o2 sensor to purchase.
the other thing that I want to do now is a little tune up. So new plugs and coils.

Anything else I ought to be doing?

 

I got a 2004 SE with 186K just had to get my cam sensors replaced but overall it still drives very good.

 

202202 kms 125642 miles Just hit it this week on my 2005. Located in Toronto. Replaced half the car by now lol. Looking at doing my grille next.

 

06 6speed passed 150k a few days ago

 

I bought mine over a year ago with 125,000 MI. Now it has 152,000 MI

 

Any more with over 100,000 miles? There must be some with 200k miles by now.

 

mine is at 175k , 2004 SL

 

I've got an 07 max, with 214,000. Never had any major issues, original motor and cvt😒. Has 3in intake and full exhaust headers no cats with dual evil energy mufflers. Eldibach lowering springs, street tuned ecu, ported tb, intake spacers,, boosted coils, external trans cooler.

 

2005 6 speed manual. Ive had her 5 yrs going on 6. Just did the timing chain ,water pump and oil pump...runs strong 💪🏾
