It looks pretty clean to me what do you think?

About normal for that amount of mileage. 15k for stock filters is the Nissan recommended mileage change.

A good way to see how dirty your filter is is to hold it up to a light and if you can see the light through the filter (just a glow) it is probably ok. If you can't see a glow from the light it is past due for a change. This test will work for a paper type element.

If you want to keep your Z stock, go with K&N filters and wash and re-oil every 10k miles.
