I have a 03 sedan with 135K. Only problem was the radio went out. The wipers have a little play in it. No other known problems. My service engine light came on today. Not sure if it's automatic at that mileage. Any suggestions? Can I read the service codes myself?

75000 on my 04' Coupe no problems other than the transmission was replaced by the dealer at 70,000 on the dot.

That's great news, that means I can drive my 03 sedan until it qualifies for 'antique' plates.

We've seen some g35s with well over 100k on them in my shop, a traveling salesman that gets work done here had aprox 145k last time we saw the vehicle, that being said i haven't seen that car in awhile, hopefully its still together

Oh, I did have to change the distributor ignition module and oil seal last year. Nothing but Mobil 1 and Amsoil universal ATF fluid since 2000 miles.

Actually, I am surprised that G needed a radiator in only 3 years. Must not have been flushing/maintaining the coolant properly.

I totally agree with you. My 93 toyota camry v6 had 150000 miles on it when I sold it in 98. Nothing had been replaced except for the normal wear and tear parts such as tires and breaks. Light bulbs and everything else were all from the factory.

approaching 60k and it is running like a champ. No amount of oil is missing within every 4k oil changes. Most important thing is to maintain the car and it will last u forever.

The VQ engines are really strong and durable. Look at the number of maximas that have well over 250K miles on them. I have no doubt that the VQ35 will be strong and healthy all the way to 300K miles.

Nissan seems to hit or miss with their engines. The SR20 engines were amazing, the VQ's are legendary, but the QR (newest 2.5L I-4's) suck so badly that it may drive Nissan into bankruptcy.
