Did Toronto to Ottawa +500k around gatineau area so was total about 1500KM.

I plan on doing Toronto to Halifax/Cape breton area which will be 1700ish km 1 way.... i'm estimating closer to 4500-5000km in total for the road trip =)

or in comparison to 90st like... a blink of an eye

I've driven across Canada, St. John's, NL to Victoria, BC and then back again a few years later in my '76 vette. 7500 kms (4500 miles) each way. Six days on the return trip including a one day lay over in Toronto. Also took the Z roadster from Halifax to Memphis return. Did the "Tail" on the way back. Awesome trip.

I went from Salt Lake City, UT to LA last year for a vacation. It was 10 hours to LA because of a wreck outside of Prim, NV and 9 hours coming back. While it was fun to drive up the PCH in my own car, I'm pretty sure I'll fly next time I go. I did like driving in LA, nice and aggressive everywhere, but getting passed by a Prius that was probably going 90+ had me perplexed.

And my 90 ST is only at 160xxx miles, I've had it about 6 years, but only put on maybe 5000 miles total, with the BB in it maybe 1000 miles. '90

The Frontier has been on some long trips also, Calgary to Vegas...Calgary to Colorado, which i'm doing again in 2 weeks, Calgary to Moab...

Many miles on that Z. How is it holding up? What kind of work have you had to do? I ask since I am thinking the Z is my last new car. If I maintain it correctly, should last a long time.

the funny is 90ST has buyers that want his old used up rag of a car... :ugh:

;)

700 miles from Carol Stream IL to Oakton VA the day I bought my Z

ZeroZeta 04-10-2015 07:43 PM

Drove across North America from the Eastern US to Vancouver Canada (twice) in my old reliable Xterra.

Not the nicest vehicle, but it was the one that made me a true Nissan fan and put me in my Z.

I am planning a cross country trip next year from San Francisco to New York w/ the girlfriend. My car is getting a new tranny and a new clutch system installed. I figured my 09 370Z @ 75k miles will never be in better shape again.

I plan a shot from San Francisco to LA, to Vegas, through Utah, Denver, Iowa, Chicago, Cleveland and then New York. Total 3197 Mile One Way Trip (source: google maps). One way might be fun, coming back will probably be a pain lol


How about Ya'll?

Post Total Miles, so we can compare. If you decide to participate.

Wow! Sounds like its gonna be a fun trip from SF to NY! Dont forget to take :pics: and share :tup:

UNKNOWN_370 04-11-2015 02:52 PM

dallas to ny.... dallas to miami... and dallas to el paso

b15 04-12-2015 12:24 PM

I haven't driven mine nearly as far as some of you guys. Longest trip I've taken it was Chicago to Door County, WI. That's about 500 roundtrip. It was comfortable but tire noise got annoying after awhile. Can't wait to replace them

jwick 01-21-2016 02:25 PM

Myrtle Beach, SC to Houston, TX straight through. Me and a buddy hotseated the trip. I unfortunately got the dead of night leg.

1150ish miles.

UNKNOWN_370 01-21-2016 06:54 PM

Fort Worth TX to Miami.

EzDz 01-21-2016 07:28 PM

From Pittsburgh to Buffalo for a tune then to ocean city for h2o in the same day. Too far

ltullos 01-21-2016 08:22 PM

FWIW, I've been driving Z's since 1974 including: '72 240Z, '90 300ZX 2+2, '95 300ZX 2+2, '95 300ZX-TT, and 2010 370 40AE. I added up my cumulative miles on these a few weeks ago and came up just shy of 1/2 million miles. However, if I include the miles I put on my 1968 Datsun 1600 before buying the 240Z, that pushes me over. Thanks again Mr K.

I'm about 750,000 miles in the last 10 years alone between all my vehicles...been driving for 23 years.

Haboob 01-22-2016 11:59 AM

North Vegas to Phoenix. The day I bought it, had to drive it home. :)

Since then, not very far, yet I've somehow put 60k miles on it. Just to work and around town. :( A few trips up north, but nothing substantial in distance (3hr drive through fun twistys and such).

One of these days I'll take it over to Cali too. Surprised I've been to Cali so many times in the past three years, but never with the Z.

Yep. between rep'ing, personal and holiday road trips.

Kamari 01-22-2016 10:25 PM

I did a 5k mile road trip summer 2014. Dallas - Grand Canyon - Vegas - LA - shredded my tires up the PCH to San Fran - Napa - Sacramento - Bonneville Salt Flats - Salt Lake City - Denver - Dallas.

My friends think I'm kidding but I want to ship the Z to anchorage and drive it to key west from there.

Nismodean 01-22-2016 10:40 PM

From Washington state to Texas. The wife and I took the long route via hwy 101 and hwy 1. Hwy 1 is no joke, they REALLY mean a 15mph turn is a 15mph turn! That route took about 3000 miles to South East Texas and the way back was roughly 2400 miles. Including the driving while in Texas we did a bit over 6000 miles in that trip.

I did the whole PCH last summer, such a great drive! But yeah speed limits are there for a reason...you can push it a bit, but be careful.

GaleForce 01-22-2016 11:59 PM

For my first big trip I did 1728km (1074mi) round trip going to R/T Tuning from my home. I had 50k on my newly installed turbo kit prior to the trip.

Last October I did 1460km (907mi) round trip going to First Class Fitment in Princeton NJ.

We did the PCH too. Awesome drive. We also drove a canyon road to Simi Valley to see Tony and the crew at Fast Intentions. The temp was 98ºf that day.

jshare1 01-23-2016 07:35 PM

When I did my PCS I did Florida to West Texas straight, was 13hours 882 miles. A few months later for the next leg of my PCS I did Texas to Chicago, 17 hours 1170 miles then a few hours of sleep did the last bit to NY, 9hours 632.
This was before my Z but dont think any vehicle would have been overly enjoyable.

Jimbo370 01-23-2016 08:02 PM

Before I graduated High school, Dad and I drove from Jacksonville,Fl -St Louis-Denver-Las vegas- San Francisco-Mt St Helen- Billings, Casper-Oklahoma City-Dallas. The sad part it was in a VW Rabbit diesel getting 45 mpg until the Mt St Helen ash got to the filter. Gas was cheap in the 80's:driving:

FiftyFiv3 01-25-2016 07:28 AM

CT to DC and back in one day, about 600 miles. I was impressed with how comfortable I was.

Mike p's Z 01-26-2016 09:18 PM

Orlando to nyc and back in 5 days...2400 miles...on a 02 Honda blackbird xx motorcycle...about 10 years ago...iron butt challenge..

FNR32 01-26-2016 10:04 PM

From Alabama to Montreal, QC for the Grand Prix. About 2600 miles round trip.

Spooler 01-26-2016 10:35 PM

Powerwiz 01-27-2016 05:05 AM
