It has been 6 years and 7 months since I first sat in my car and my car has finally hit the 200k mile mark last night! Just put on fresh rotors(my first replacement since I got the car) and pads earlier this month and got the transmission fluid flushed yesterday to celebrate.

Anyways, it has been an absolute joy driving this car. I was 19 when I first got it...

Problems I've had with this car so far (as far as I can remember)
-Serpentine belt snap @ 60k (my fault)
-Tensioner fail @120k
-Stuck sunroof, which was fixed by screwing in the bolt again
-Clock LEDs are dead
-LED that illuminates the number 4 on the tach was gone but now back on again
-Interior trim peeling off (handle and steering wheel)
-Bose sub blew so I got a 12" in the trunk to remedy it
-Manual mode works but I can only shift up with the shifter. If I shift down, it'll switch back to D
-Coolant hose leaked a bit but fixed it
-Transmission starting to slip(?) sometimes, the car shakes like the gears are grinding trying to engage.

I must admit, I haven't been taking the best care of my car... I've neglected a lot of maintenance but the car has held up VERY well.

Anyways, I'm hoping to see 300k miles on this car, probably by the time the car sees it's 10th birthday.

 

Here's a picture.

 

30k miles a year.. what do you do? that's a lot of driving...

 

HolY moly!!! I think this is the best time i've ever seen a second gen reaching 200k miles.

 

I was expecting V35, Nice mileage. Guys, he's the transporter... duh!

 

Haha I do deliveries for my family business so I go out of town a lot.

 

damn man that's what company cars are for lol. jp congrats I guess

 

These cars are definitely capable of going over 200k. I know when I was in last week my service manager was telling me about a man and a woman who each have 240 and 260k on an 07 and 08 AWD. Says they haven't had any issues either.

 

Nice. I just bought a 07 g35x with 135k. I feel good now.

 

Holy crap that's a lot of miles to buy a car with still

 

It's been 3k miles since my last oil change so I'm not sure... but before that, my oil was a bit below the low mark on the dipstick. It was the first time it's gotten so low, but I did go 20k miles on that oil... oh and I use 5 quarts.

 

I've got a 2008 G35x, 195k on it, running strong (2nd engine/tranny though, replaced around 100k)

 

For about 140k? miles, I ran dino @ 5-7.5k intervals. Then I got tired of changing my oil every 2 months so I went full synthetic.

 

Did u notice any faster oc with syn?

 

Faster oc?
