I have a 1989 Maxima with 526,000 miles on the original enine. Never had the valve covers off. What is the record mileage for a single engine of the Maxima?

 

pics?

 

I dont know, but there arent too many that can touch that. How does she run?

 

Pics would be nice. Man that is a lot of miles

 

 

man that's a lot of miles. i'm "only" at 143K.

just to show how dependable nissan engines are

 

Runs great! I drive it evrywhere, everyday!

I will post pics ASAP>

 

GOOD GOD!!! how long have YOU owned it? and what maintence has been done over the course of time??

 

Wow that's a lot of miles, maybe if you tell Nissan about this they will give you a 2003 or 2004 for free

Your car must also have the record of most timing belts replaced on an original engine

 

Record? I think you've got it. most I've seen is about 300K on one engine.
Very impressive!

now for the real question... how many trannies have you put in that car?

 

And I thought I had high mileage, youve got twice what I've got. As soon as you get pics I think you'll be the record holder.

 

i have 257K and mine is running fine. i'll be happy to get to 300K and i change my own oil and do some of my own tune-ups. i've had two trannies though. '93 GXE.

 

Holy Crap! definately want to see some pics!

 

i would have to say that you have to be the highest miles of all the cars i have seen before. i work at a service station so i see alot of cas taht have high miles. i think the highest miles i have seen was pushing 400k. not 500 **** man. well that proves that maximas are the best cars you can get. well in my opion. see some pics.

 

thats...wow GXE or SE? 5spd or auto? and like Matt said how many tranny's?

 

Three timing belts in 13 years.

 

Two Tranny's since '89.

 

WOW! I'm glad that my Maxima will run along time now that I've seen this post. 2 trannys and three belts is extremely good for having over 500K mi. Like everyone else said, let's see some pics!

 

Wow!!!! thats amazing... a true testament to Nissan's mechnical design and good maintenece!

 

actually, shouldnt we be saying nissan's "initial" superb mechanical design and maintenance?

 

Hmmm according to Nissan 500K miles is more like 8 timing belts. You're more luck that one of em didn't snap.

 

you should be doing them every 60K miles....

 

pics schmicks. I want the vin so i can verify this with carfax. hehehe..i'm just playing man. keep it up!

 

TTT

 

Want to see the pix!!

 

you mean to tell me you had no other maintenece beside the belts? no leaks not pumps nothing? damn and i thought i had alot at 176

 

I've had the regular wear and tear maintenance that any vehicle will have. The engine, however, is as it was the day I bought it 13 years ago.

 

damn, and i thought i had alot...

199,850... waitin to roll over 200k on original tranny and no motor problems.

 

pics pics PICS!!! where are them pics. the suspense is killing me

this better not be a hoax

 

OMG that is a lot, I just pooped my pants

 

The comma is misplaced right? Was that a typo? You car has got to have the highest mileage on the original engine - hands down. One day and many oil changes, trany's, and tires from now, my Max will make it there.

We need pics...we need pics...we need pics...

 

I promise you this is not a hoax! It is a testament to proper maintainence and a great mechanic (John Savage in Orlando)!

 

I will get pics out ASAP. I appreciate all the interest in my faithful road companion. I hope I can get word to Nissan regarding my Maxima. I would appreciate any help from my fellow Maxima owners. Wish me luck!

 

definately looking forward to seeing the pix. i am still amazed by this. you should definately contact nissan and let them know the gem you have. good luck with it.

 

well...if this is true, (after seeing some pics) i know someone at the NIssan Techinical Center in Michigan. I could contact them and see what they say they can do or not. but gotta see it to believe it first!!

 

I assure you it is true. The pics are forthcoming!

 

Then hurry lad... the suspense is killing me...

 

they say the VG is bullet proof I just hope that my VE can get half of that.
