DD for the win. I got 27K in just over a year. Now that I am deployed, I miss her /sigh.

I have been deployed 6 months and I'm still at 14K, 10 total months owned. Yes that is correct, 4 months and 10K, my son put the other 4K on it for me.

I would love too but I am forced to drive the highlander when ever there is snow or heavy rain.

I daily mine! I've though about buying another car to DD, but then I though to myself I'd never drive the other car because I love driving the Nismo every day. On days I don't have anything to do or anywhere to go, after about five or six hours of looking at the car I can't take it and usually get in her and do a little desert run to get my daily Nismo fix in.

just hit 11k on my 2011

whoLEEoh · 09-27-2011, 09:45 PM

18k miles in 10 months

Just fliped to 20k on mine. Starting to feel the tranny more then when I first got it w15miles. This car never was a smooth shifter either. Also im hearing a whining noise from the rear I never heard before. The more I drive the Nismo the more it hurts my feelings.
DD? Not so much for me. Its feels more like a conversation piece.

change the fluids in both. i know what you mean about the tranny getting notchy-er... :\ at 27k miles last night i replaced the tranny fluid with the factory nissan tranny fluid and it feels about how it did when new. which was...... decent.

Copy that. I went ahead and threw royal purple in both after break-in. Made shifting less notchy . I was pleased. Im gonna do it again thanks.
It was funny as I was leaving the dealership complaining bout this trans when I first got it. A fellow Z driver whispered to me,"try the Rp,it'll help. " I whispered back,"really? why we whispering?" Lol. Said" they told me it voids the warranty " no sheet.

I had da same problem I took a trip to Miami and back to Orlando in 2 1/2hrs and started hearing da the noise from the back... At 1st the dealer gave me a new transmition this was when I had 9k miles... now I have 11k when I got it back from the dealer I heard it again after 2weeks they found the problem it was my ""differential"" now it's all good...
