Cool Just about to hit 100K miles on the G.


Well after 7 and a half years, my G is at 99,547 miles. Of course you have to minus about 20-25 thousand off the notor since that little incident at Laguna Seca and about 60 thousand for the new tranny my nephew bought after learning to drive a stick with my car. Over all the car is still fantastic and fun and an eye catcher. People still think the Caribbean Blue is a cusom paint job. Funny that I bought the car way back in January of 2003 and have been apart of G35Driver since December of 2002. I'm looking to many more miles and years here and with the G.

Later!

Ray

That's great man! Other than the motor & tranny, is there anything else's that you have noticed or things that have become worn with time that have been replaced?

The only thing that was worn and has been replaced very recently, was the lower control arm bushings. I've really tried to keep up on all the other things. Oh! And the sending unit for the fuel gauge from the tank and the sending unit in the dash were replaced last year, but that was an issue from the day I bought the car. It never showed as full when I filled the tank up and then would be way on empty at about 230-250 miles. I would go to filll up and only put in about 16 gallons.

Later,

Ray

Same thing as Racer...started visiting this site towards the end of 2002, bought my coupe in June 2003.

134,000 miles on it. Still runs great. No serious issues at all.

Only current issues are the headlights, and a few things breaking here and there...the driver window motor went out twice under warranty and again out of warranty, the drivers seat is screwed up and off the tracks, and the windshield wipers don't kick out a strong stream of water. But thats it. Had it smogged a few months ago and passed, oil changes every 2500 miles, belts and stuff at 90K and getting close again.

People still compliment me on the car. Obsedian Black with tinted widows, overlay on the headlights, and Mercury Silver GT7's
