Maintenance has been 4x brake pads, 2x rotors, 4/5 sets of tires. Air filters yearly, oil changes every 7k miles.

Pros: regular maintenance, high mileage

Vehicle: Infiniti

OEM pads and rotors for brakes

OEM gave me 140k miles with stock setup, but only about 60k with Titan swap, wider stance, more weight

Pros: long lasting stock setup

Cons: less mileage after swap

Vehicle: Nissan

Mileage: 140000 km

I’ve got an 06 350z, driven it for a year put only 5k miles but, had no problems. I also own an 05 g35 with the same DE engine and it’s got 135k and never had any major problems, and I’ve put over 110k of those miles on that car. No major repairs..1 air bag recall, I redid the clutch at 125k, had to rewire the trunk to work, and I replaced a window motor. Nothing else but, oil changes, brake jobs and battery changes. Both cars are fun to drive, and being as old as they are they cost me very little to maintain, insure, and pay minimal amount for property tax. For some perspective. Next week i’m doing the front and rear brakes on the Z. It’s gonna cost about $65-70 for parts.

Pros: no major problems, low maintenance cost

Cons: clutch replacement, trunk wiring, window motor

Vehicle: Nissan

Mileage: 5000 km

I have a friend with a near-identicle Zenki to mine, his is powered by a built single turbo rb26. He's making well in excess of 700whp and the z32s are plenty of brake for him as a point of reference.

Pros: plenty of brake for 700whp

Vehicle: Nissan

Had one 2023 with 31k miles and so far so good , yet the one about the brakes exhaust early is true , maybe you need to change them once every year

Cons: brakes wear early

Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder

I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.

But overall I’m happy with it.

Cons: brakes need replacement early

Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder

Mileage: 48000 km

Had to get all brake pads done 22k miles in. Brake still makes a sound when released could be bushings but not a major enough issue yet to replace.

Cons: brake pads replaced early, brake noise

Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder
