How many 4th Gens here have hit 100K ??

Asking because my '98 SE is now at almost 102K with no major problems. Just goes to show how regular maintenance keeps these sweet engines hummin. The most expensive work done to the car other than mods has been having to replace two bad sensors. I couldn't be happier with my max and was just wondering how many others have dropped as many miles on their maximas as I have. It's obviously been my every day commuter but I used to stretch her legs and she's still kickin strong.

My 97 SE is at 102,690. I just need to give it a tune up. Whats the 100,000 mile tune up anyways. I'm planning on changing Sparks, Fuel Filter, Clutch, and Tranny Filter. What else should I change.

95 SE, 113K. Bose system, axles, and starter are the only major problems. Really, it's been very reliable and still looks great when it's detailed.

yessir, this topic is a bit played out. I've seen many many threads on it.

I've even seen 5th genners with 100K+, so it's not unusual.

PCV valve.. air filter
change the coolant
change the manual transmission fluid

don't change the clutch unless it feels like it needs to be changed. It's an expensive repair and there is no reason to do it until it is necessary. People have gotten way over 100k miles on the stock clutch. I think mine could be stock and I have 121k, grabs well but something is making is really stiff

141k miles....

synth tranny oil swapped every 30k miles
synth oil swapped every 4k miles
all major maintenance checkpoints done at dealership (last one @ 120k)
91 Octane always

Regardless of how much money and time i've spent keeping it maintained... F-ing tranny starting to leak.. probably bad bearings because of sound it makes occasionally. Some stuff u just can't help get ****ed off about.

Re: How many 4th Gens here have hit 100K ??

105K on my 95 SE. no major problems so far except a starter that recently died. more annoying problems have been all my damn sensors going bad (knock sensor, ECTS, rear O2 sensor...argh!!)

oh yeah, the dreaded Bose has gone south as well. figures.

i drove my 91 SE till it had 195K on it and it was still kicking strong.

Had mine for about 2 years now. From 47k to 91k. (22k per year? ARGH!) At this rate I'll hit 100k mid-late April. And hopefully 200k in April 2007

Hey buddy - we're in the same boat. I have a 98 SE here that just hit 103K. No major problems, just the 2 front O2 sensors and regular maintenance. Still on original clutch and it feels great.

If the engine is checked out and mechanicly sound then why not? If it is still holding compression etc might as well boost it and have a ball. Worse comes to worse and he does blow it, I thinnk that on car-parts.com VQ's go for like 600 bucks with under 50K miles usually.

I am sure that if you take good care of your engine it can hold up to the 200k.
My 1980 Datsun 720 was at 230K original engine and tranny. And still was running strong until I sold it.
