Finally found my Z
Hey guys after weeks of searching I have finally found the Z I am going to buy, now it is just a matter of picking it up.
Its a 2015 model with 6200km on the odometer, located in Sydney, I will have to drive it back to Adelaide, about 14 hrs drive or 1361km. Is it OK to drive the Zed this long distance? Will it overheat at all, ruin the engine at all? Just worried because I havent driven for 3 years now or purchased a car for 10 years. So just a bit paranoid getting back on the road and straight into a Z and giving it a long drive back to Adelaide. I dont want the Z to be hurt at all after a long 1361km drive.

It's a Nissan not a Ferrari well past the break in period. Hop in, adjust your mirrors and hit the gas and have a blast.

you'll be fine.
I bought mine with 1200 miles on the clock and drove it 1300 miles straight back home. think I did the trip in 18/19 hours it hurt putting more miles on the car than it had on it in general to get it home but it was honestly a great trip.

i did a 1000 km drive in 1 day and the car was fine. the weak point will probably be your mental capacity to stay alert and drive safely.
just remember it's not a race and to take lots of breaks! |

Never could understand concerns about putting highway miles on a 370z. If you bought the car for investment purposes, it makes sense but if you love the way the car drives and handles, why not drive it?
It's like marrying a beautiful woman and refusing to make love more than once a month. Makes no sense. |

I drove my old Z non-stop for 2,910 kms. (1,317 miles) from Dallas, Texas to Miami, Florida and with traffic it took me 23 hrs. I didn't take a break except for refueling and going to the restroom. You will be surprised how reliable and surprisingly comfortable these cars are for long driving. It was a long but fun drive.
You will not have any problems. |
