Advice from those over 100k miles

sweetazzz16

I know this post was a while back but my csc went out twice before I put exedy stage 2 clutch on it (mistake for daily driver). Bought the car brand new in 2010. At 3k miles the csc went out and again at 11k. Nissan replaced transmission because some of the gears were bent. Replaced clutch around 48k with the exert clutch and light weight fly wheel. Couple weeks later went out again. Replaced it with Z1 csc delete kit and no issues since. Nissan makes a cheap csc. I have over 108 miles now. I was debating on getting a newer Z but wanted to keep the one I bought myself brand new. I just had the steering wheel lock part go out. I'm sitting in Nissan now with my belt that just broke passing the Nissan dealership going to dunkin donuts haha. Made a U turn and pulled into Nissan with no power steering.

What are some preventive maintenance things to do for over a 100k mile Z do this crap doesn't keep breaking?

To prevent CSC from going out you did the right thing. As for the steering wheel lock, pull the fuse in the fuse box under the hood. Wont happen again.

100k Maintence (since im having to do it right now, im at 99,200)
Clutch, Flywheel, Pressure Plate, CSC elim or HD CSC
(Right now im about to install my ACT clutch flywheel and pressure plate. And also am about to install my Z1 csc elim kit.
Rear Diff
Axles (if you ever want to boost or want to make sure they aren't wearing)
Engine- upper/lower manifolds, Rods, Cams, Heads, intake filters.

With enough money you could make this car last for a very very long time.

Other than basic maintenance you should have to do much, i'm over 240,000 and have had to do very little. Belt should have been done around 60-75K...I do mine every 60, along with plugs and full fluid change, other then that listen to your car...it will tell you when things are going. My hubs were not making nice sounds so I changed them. My oil report was great for the mileage I have and have not done any thing to the engine other than oil changes. You can check out my thread, problem over 200,000 miles for more info.
